High Differential Velocities
The Ytron® Z Emulsifier high speed, high shear emulsifying mixer achieves repeatable product quality at production efficiencies/outputs exceeding those of conventional high shear mixers such as in-tank rotor-stator mixers, colloid mills and shear pumps. As many as three stages of sequential rotor-stator mixer tooling operate at high differential velocities with numerous shear zones working on the product as it flows through the inline emulsifier mixer. This ensures that no product passes through the machine without receiving the targeted shearing action.
High Degree of Process Flexibility
High shear emulsifier tooling for the Ytron® Z Emulsifier is available in a variety of slot sizes, which allows for a high degree of fine-tuning or multi-process changeovers. Through proper rotor-stator selection (aided by our application engineering team) and by varying/controlling the speed of the high shear emulsifier mixer tooling, the mixing process can be scaled with industry-leading precision.
