Mobile Lift Batch High Shear Mixer Homogenizer Emulsifier, 1.5-11 kW

Most plants do not need another fixed homogenizer bolted to the mezzanine. They need one head that goes where the batch is. This lift-mounted machine runs on casters, so it can sit beside a 200 L cosmetic kettle in the morning and a paint letdown tank after lunch, as long as the floor layout, doorway clearance, and working height allow it.

The rotor-stator head covers three duties that are often split across separate machines: high-shear dispersion, liquid-liquid emulsification, and powder wet-in. In a cream or a jam, the shear zone pulls the oil phase into the water phase fast enough that the droplet structure survives cooling and filling. In a pigmented coating, it wets out agglomerates that a paddle agitator only pushes around.

Configurations we build

• Motor: 1.5 kW to 11 kW, matched to batch volume and product viscosity
• Speed control: optional VFD, 0 to 3000 rpm depending on motor and head selected
• Electrical: 220V to 480V; voltage, frequency, and phase confirmed against your plant supply
• Wetted parts: stainless steel and contact materials specified per product
• Mounting: mobile lift frame standard, fixed or tank-mounted versions available
• Custom: head style, shaft length, control cabinet, and connections to suit the vessel

What to settle before ordering

Batch size and container diameter decide shaft length and head diameter. Viscosity decides whether you need a larger motor or a different head geometry. Tip speed, not just rpm, drives dispersion quality in higher-viscosity products. And the electrical detail matters more than buyers expect: a 60 Hz motor run through a VFD sized for 50 Hz will not deliver the same curve, and three-phase vs single-phase changes the cabinet. Send the nameplate data from the existing supply.

Common mistakes we see: oversizing the motor for a low-viscosity product and overheating it at low speed, choosing a head with too narrow a shear gap for a filled cream, and ordering a mobile frame for a vessel that has no floor space to maneuver around. Measured vessel drawings solve most of this in one email.

Where it runs

Food and beverage processing, cosmetic and personal care emulsions, pharmaceutical and healthcare preparations, chemical processing, and compatible paint and coating formulations. Powder dispersion into liquids and liquid-liquid emulsification are the two jobs it handles most often. The correct head, contact material, and operating parameters depend on the viscosity, ingredients, and process requirements of the specific product, so we confirm those before quoting.

FAQ

Can one unit handle both a thin lotion and a thick jam? Physically yes, but the head and motor are chosen for the harder case. Tell us the widest viscosity range and we will size for the upper end.

Is the VFD necessary? Not always. For single-product lines a fixed speed works, but most plants change products and need the lower end of the range for powder addition.

How is it cleaned? The head and shaft come apart for manual cleaning. If you run CIP on the vessel, the mixer\’s role in that cycle needs to be agreed at the design stage.

Can it be fixed rather than mobile? Yes. The same head is supplied on a stationary column or tank mount.
