High Shear Homogenizer Emulsifier Mixer for Cream, Shampoo, Silicone Oil

Where a batch high shear mixer earns its cost

Face cream and shampoo rarely fail because of the formula. They fail because the oil phase never breaks down fine enough, or because xanthan gum goes in as fisheyes that take an extra shift to dissolve. A batch high shear mixer handles emulsification and powder wet-out in the same vessel, provided the rotor-stator head, shaft speed, and motor are sized against what you are actually making.

We build this unit as a batch high shear homogenizer for plants that run multiple SKUs in one tank. The rotor draws product axially and drives it through the stator slots, so silicone oil, fragrance, and thickener see the same shear zone rather than sitting on the surface.

Configurable specifications

• Speed control: VFD optional, 0–3000 rpm depending on motor and configuration
• Motor power: 1.5 kW to 55 kW, selected against batch size and viscosity
• Voltage: 220V to 480V, with frequency, phase, and electrical arrangement confirmed for your market
• Wetted stainless steel: 304 or 316L
• Functions: high shear, dispersion, emulsification, powder incorporation into liquids
• Mounting: portable high shear mixer or fixed tank-top arrangement
• Customization: motor power, controls, head style, and contact materials to suit the application

Matching the unit to your process

Start with batch volume and vessel geometry, not with horsepower. A 200 L batch in a tall narrow tank and a 200 L batch in a shallow wide one behave differently at the same head speed. Viscosity comes next: thin emulsions and thick creams need different head designs and shaft lengths, and a head that works for shampoo may stall in a high-solids paste.

Electrical supply is the detail that delays shipments most often. Confirm voltage, frequency, and phase before quoting, especially on export orders. Decide early whether the unit stays on one tank or moves between vessels — a portable frame adds flexibility but changes the mechanical layout.

Typical applications

• Cosmetics and personal care: creams, lotions, shampoos, gels
• Food and beverage processing: sauces, dressings, syrups, stabilizer dispersion
• Pharmaceutical and healthcare preparations
• Chemical processing and compatible industrial formulations
• Paints, coatings, and pigment dispersion
• Powder dispersion and liquid-liquid emulsification

Head selection, contact material, and operating parameters always depend on product viscosity, ingredients, and process requirements. We confirm those before releasing a drawing.

Questions buyers ask us

Can one unit handle both shampoo and face cream? Usually yes, but the head and speed range may differ. Tell us both formulas and we will size for the harder case.

Is a VFD necessary? Not always. It matters when you run several products at different viscosities or need repeatable tip speed between batches.

304 or 316L? 304 covers most cosmetic and food work. Move to 316L when aggressive ingredients or stricter hygiene expectations apply.

How long does mixing take? That depends on batch size, viscosity, and head choice — we do not quote a fixed time without those details.
