High Shear Lab Mixers
Laboratory High Shear Mixers follow the same principles as their full scale counterparts.Product details
The high-speed rotor and precisely engineered rotor-to-stator gap create an intense mixing zone. This rapidly blends liquids with liquids or liquids with powders, producing a smooth, consistent mixture in a short amount of time.
The mixer head geometry, vessel capacity and rotor speed are designed to create the same mixing and shear conditions as the corresponding full scale installation. This ensures that formulations created at Lab scale can be applied in production without adjustment.

FAQ's
-
What is a high shear mixer used for?
A high shear mixer is used to homogenise, emulsify, disperse and blend liquid-liquid or liquid-powder mixtures. High rotor speeds and tight rotor-stator tolerances create intense shear forces that rapidly produce uniform products.
-
How does a high shear mixer work?
A high shear mixer operates using a rotating rotor and stationary stator. As product passes through the rotor-stator assembly, it is subjected to high shear forces that break down particles and create a homogeneous mixture.
-
Can laboratory formulations be scaled up to production?
Yes. Adelphi laboratory high shear mixers are designed to replicate the mixing and shear conditions of full-scale production systems, allowing formulations developed in the lab to be transferred to manufacturing without adjustment.
-
What industries use high shear mixers?
High shear mixers are commonly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal care, chemical and food manufacturing applications where consistent emulsification, dispersion and homogenisation are required.
-
What are the benefits of a high shear mixer?
Key benefits include rapid mixing, improved product consistency, reliable scale-up, hygienic construction, easy cleaning, low maintenance requirements and the ability to process higher-viscosity products.

High Speed Dispersers
Adelphi's High Speed Dispersers are specialised mixing systems designed to disperse powders into liquids quickly and uniformly. A high-speed serrated impeller creates a vortex that improves powder wetting, reduces agglomeration and enhances product consistency. They are widely used in laboratory development and production environments because they enable reliable formulation scale-up, efficient processing and repeatable results See product -
Helical Stirrer
The Helical Stirrer is designed for applications that require gentle, controlled agitation, making it ideal for medium to high viscosity products (Up to 5000 cPs) and formulations that are particularly delicate. It is perfect for processes where the goal is creating a homogeneous solution or keeping particles in suspension rather than intensive blending. See product -
Gate Stirrer
Our Gate Stirrer is engineered for the slow, controlled stirring of medium to high viscosity formulations, making it ideal for products such as creams, pastes, gels, thick sauces and similar semi solid materials. Designed to deliver thorough and uniform mixing without introducing excessive shear, it is the perfect choice for applications where product texture, integrity and consistency must be preserved.
