The Silverson product range now has more powder/liquid mixing solutions than ever before with the development of the FMX5 Laboratory scale powder/liquid mixer and a version of the Flashmix which is supplied with a powder suction hose attachment.
Dispersing powders into liquids and creating a consistent, homogeneous product, time after time, is one of the most difficult of all mixing tasks. Whether the need is to incorporate large volumes of powders or handle small amounts of critical components such as active ingredients, Silverson has a comprehensive range of products designed to provide the most efficient means of incorporating powders into liquids.
Silverson can now provide customers with the same powder/liquid mixing advantages as larger-scale production with the introduction of the FMX5 to the product range. The FMX5 is a benchtop version of Silverson's production scale Flashmix mixers and provides a simple, effective, and hygienic means of powder/liquid mixing on a Laboratory scale. It is also able to process higher viscosity mixes.
The FMX5 is suitable for small-scale manufacturing and R&D work with a typical batch size of up to 10 liters, depending on viscosity. The mixer offers an accurate means of predicting the performance of the production scale Flashmix, making the scale-up process a simple task.
The mixer recirculates liquid from the vessel and powder is loaded into the stainless-steel hopper. Once the powder feed valve is opened the high pumping action forces the powder into the high-velocity liquid stream. The powder and liquid ingredients are introduced straight into the high shear zone of the mixer and are instantaneously combined as they are subjected to intense hydraulic and mechanical shear. A brief period of recirculation results in an agglomerate-free, homogeneous dispersion in a matter of minutes. Different designs of powder feed hoppers are available to assist with the flow of more cohesive powders.
The FMX5 offers proven performance on a wide range of powders including gums (CMC, Guar, Gum Arabic, Pectin, Xanthan), sugars, flours, milk powder, and Carbopol, Bentonite, and many others across a range of industries. The introduction of this Powder/Liquid mixer to the Silverson product range opens the possibility of many more applications than were previously possible at a laboratory scale.
