ME 6100 PHARMACEUTICAL TANK BOTTOM MIXER

Application

The ME-6100 series of the high shear bottom of the tank mixers present a highly hygienic solution for the processes of dispersion, emulsifying, homogenisation and disintegration of a wide range of products in the pharmaceutical industry. Due to the hygienic design, the mixer can be cleaned and sterilised,CIP/SIP.
The most common applications include production of ophthalmologic or contact lens solutions, syrups, pill coatings, creams and lotions and injection products.
These mixers can be used either in open or closed tanks at an atmospheric pressure or under pressure/vacuum. The bottom of the tank mixers are designed for applications with highly viscous media and intended to work with anchor type agitators.


Operating principle

The high speed and adjusted tolerances between the rotor and the stator result in high suction potential, the product is suctioned and driven to the centre of the head.
The product is suctioned from the upper part of the head and the rotor thrusts it radially.
Passing through the opening of the stator the product is mechanically sheared, the particles are sheared by the rotor at 20 m/s.
And finally this flow is hydraulically sheared leaving the stator through the slots at a high speed.

Design and features

High shear, particle size reduction to less than 100 microns.
Access to the mechanical seal from the inside of the tank.
Stator replaced without disassembling the mixer.
Different easily interchangeable head models.
Standard single sanitary mechanical seal.
Standard flange for tank bottom assembly.
Slotted head (estandard).
Motors: IEC B5, IP 55, F-class insulation.
