Vessel of GEA INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer
Continuous mixing solutions are often the preferred choice when high product throughputs are required or a considerable amount of automation is involved.
The extremely versatile INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer can be used to improve an existing production line or replace existing equipment. More than just a tank with a bottom-mounted high shear mixing device, the customizable multirotor integrated in the INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer comprises a high shear mixing device for effective dispersion and a centrifugal pump that feeds the downstream process.
Our customers have the opportunity to trial products at our test facilities in Germany and Denmark before scaling up production - contact us to find out more.
Internal and external recirculation
Our INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer can be equipped with both internal and external recirculation. The internal recirculation reintroduces the product into the tank in the opposite direction of the rotor/stator flow. This creates a more chaotic mixing, which then functions as a vortex breaker despite volume. The external recirculation can lead the product to a buffer tank before it is reintroduced to the mixer or for further downstream processing.
Key benefits of the GEA INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer
- A continuous process that can run in-line with the downstream process
- Just-in-time production – preparation of the batch at the time needed
- Zero to minimal storage time of the mixed product before further processing
