A high-shear mixer disperses, or transports, one phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main continuous phase (liquid), with which it would normally be immiscible. A rotor or impeller, together with a stationary component known as a stator, or an array of rotors and stators, is used either in a tank containing the solution to be mixed ...
A fuel homogenizer is a mechanical device used to improve the quality and combustion efficiency of various fuels by reducing particle size and ensuring a uniform mixture. By applying mechanical shear forces, fuel homogenizers break down larger fuel droplets into smaller, more uniform sizes, promoting better atomization during combustion .
Mixing of liquids occurs frequently in process engineering. The nature of liquids to blend determines the equipment used. Single-phase blending tends to involve low-shear, high-flow mixers to cause liquid engulfment, while multi-phase mixing generally requires the use of high-shear, low-flow mixers to create droplets of one liquid in laminar, turbulent or transitional flow regimes, depending ...
A homogenizer is a piece of laboratory or industrial equipment used for the homogenization of various types of material, such as tissue, plant, food, soil, and many others. Many different models have been developed using various physical technologies for disruption.
A colloid mill is a machine that is used to reduce the particle size of a solid in suspension in a liquid, or to reduce the droplet size in emulsions.Colloid mills work on the rotor-stator principle: a rotor turns at high speeds (2000–18000 RPM [1]).
Milk homogenization is accomplished by mixing large amounts of harvested milk, then forcing the milk at high pressure through small holes. [7] Milk homogenization is an essential tool of the milk food industry to produce consistent levels of flavor and fat concentration. Another application of homogenization is in soft drinks like cola products.
Rotary atomizers [7] work on the principle of centrifugal energy; this energy is used to produce a high relative speed between the fluid and air which is essential for atomization. A rotary atomizer comprises a rotating surface.
A Scientific Industries Inc. Vortex-Genie 2 vortex mixer in operation. A vortex mixer, or vortexer, is a simple device used commonly in laboratories to mix small vials of liquid.
