Scale Up of High Shear Rotor-Stator Mixers

From Charles Ross and Son Company

In virtually any application, scale up is a critical process that impacts your business in a multitude of ways, from proper planning of plant floor design and equipment configuration, to operating procedures, to the net operating-and capital-cost impact on the bottom line. In laboratory-scale trials, misjudging the time required to achieve mixing equilibrium by just a few seconds can ultimately cost your company millions of dollars, not to mention wasted time and effort and increased wear-and-tear on the equipment, during commercial-scale production. The laboratory tabletop HSM usually represents the first step in exploring the particular benefits of rotor/stator technology for a given application. This familiar laboratory tool is generally equipped with a variety of interchangeable attachments that allow it to operate in a variety of mixing modes - as a conventional HSM, as a propeller mixer, and as a high speed "saw tooth" disperser.

Products & Services
Process Dryers
Process dryers are used to remove liquids or moisture from bulk solids, powders, parts, continuous sheets or other liquids by evaporation or sublimation.
Powder and Solids Blenders
Powder and solids blenders produce a uniform mixture of dry or powdery materials. They are designed for industrial and laboratory environments, and provide either batch or continuous blending.
Rotor-Stator Mixers
Rotor-stator mixers are single-shaft mixers with an impeller rotating in close proximity to a stationary housing. They are used to rapidly break apart solid particles in a liquid, or to emulsify a liquid into liquids.
Static Mixers
Static or motionless mixers are fins, obstructions, or channels mounted in pipes, designed to promote mixing as fluid flows through the mixer.
