The new high shear mixer pump from Packo (series SFP2 and SFP3) is mainly used for inline mixing, homogenisation and dispergation applications.
Developed by Packo, the mixing method is based on the proven European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) certified pump series FP2 with open impeller and series FP3 with closed impeller.
The shear is generated between the rotor and an optimised perforated stator and can be optimised and increased by raising the speed of rotation. Shear rates up to 40.000 s-1 can be achieved at a maximum speed of 3,600 rpm, says the company.
The final goal is to achieve a homogeneous solution of two liquids with high difference in viscosity and/or density and to obtain a particle size reduction for emulsions and particles. Packo adds that a smaller particle size will result in a more stable final product.
