PHARMACEUTICAL INLINE MIXER 4100

Applications

The ME-4100 series of the inline high shear mixers offer a possibility to pump, disperse, homogenize and emulsify a wide range of products.
It is especially useful in already existing facilities as tanks need no modifications that are required by the installation of a vertical or bottom of the tank models. They can work with a recirculation tank reaching the utmost efficiency after passing through the mixer several times.
Due to the CIP/SIP-able design, the mixes can be used in the applications of the pharmaceutical industry. The example of some applications is production of ophthalmologic or contact lens solutions, syrups, pill coatings, creams, lotions and injection products. 

Operating principle

The casing is similar to a centrifugal pump one, it houses the stator and the rotor. It is characterised by a high shear due to an adjusted tolerance between the rotor and the stator and the high speed of the rotor.
The product is suction through the horizontal inlet and the rotor pushes it to the stator. Passing through the slots of the stator the product is mechanically sheared, the particles are sheared by the rotor at the speed of more than 20 m/s.
And finally the flow is hydraulically sheared leaving through the slots of the stator at a high speed.
If the viscosity of the product exceeds 200 Cp or the discharge pressure is high, an auxiliary pump is required.
