How The Boston Shearmill™ Homogenizer Works
The Boston Shearmills / Shearpumps are capable of processing very high throughputs at extreme shear rates producing an average mean droplet size of .05-3 microns.
Shear heads of the Shearmill™ / Shearpump® are comprised of a multi-slot rotor turning at high speeds in close proximity to a multi-port stator. Each shear head of the homogenizer has a double ring design providing two stages of mixing at both the rotor and stator. This results in three distinct, high intensity work zones at each rotor / stator location.
- The mixture passes through the first set of rotor slots or teeth
- then through the first ring of slots on the stator
- and through the second ring of slots in both the rotor and stator
Shearmill™ / Shearpump® Models with 3 shear heads provide 6 mixing stages with 9 work zones to handle your toughest processing needs.
