Silverson BX Stainless Steel High Shear Mixer

Each machine employs the
special “interchangeable”
Silverson rotor/stator mixing
head, which allows it to be
used on a wide variety of
different products.
Any machine in this range from
the 1.5 hp BX60 to the 25 hp
GX25 can be used on a mobile
hydraulic floor stand (local
safety regulations permitting).
This option greatly increases
the flexibility of these mixers,
allowing them to be moved from
vessel to vessel and to be raised
and lowered during operation,
if required, in order to give the
optimum mixing position at
varying stages of the process.

Large range – Models 700X to MX
Silverson is the world leader
in the specialized design and
manufacture of large scale
rotor/stator mixers with a
capacity of up to 8,000
gallons. All these machines are
individually built to order and
constructed specifically to suit
each customer’s requirements.
The large scale mixers possess
all the qualities and flexibility
of Silverson’s medium range
models and include a number of
additional and unique features.
Each mixer is designed and
built to the highest possible
engineering standards. From
the specially balanced motors
to the fitting of precision ground
shafts, which are finish turned
in-house to ensure critical
vibration free running, no aspect
of manufacture escapes our
rigorous inspection.
These machines are designed
to be maintained and serviced
in place wherever possible.
Quick release shaft couplings,
split two-part downthrust
propeller and hard-surfaced
sacrificial shaft journal sleeves
are just a few of the features
designed to keep maintenance
and downtime to a minimum.
Silverson prides itself on a
technical staff that caters to the
precise needs of each customer.

Technical specifications
Materials of
construction
All wetted parts in 316L
stainless steel. Special
materials on request.
Bushing material
The bushing will normally be
bronze alloy or reinforced PTFE
depending on the application.
Motors
TEFC, washdown duty and
explosion proof motors are
available as standard. Inverter
rated, stainless steel and
other motors are available as
optional extras.
Mounting
Models BX up to GX can be
mounted on mobile hydraulic
floor stands. Alternatively they
can be supplied with either a
rectangular or circular flange for
mounting on the vessel.
Tri-clamp mounting is also
available. Larger machines
(Model 700X and above) require
vessel mounting.
Sealing
All Silverson Batch mixers are
designed for operation in open
vessels. Single and double
mechanical shaft sealing for
operation under vacuum and/or
positive pressure is available for
most machines.
Cleaning
The machines are in most
cases self-cleaning, a short run
between successive operations
in water, detergent or an
appropriate solvent being all that
is necessary. For more thorough
cleaning, dismantling is easy and
downtime minimal.

The first name in high shear mixers
Duplex disintegrator dissolver
The Duplex was specifically
developed for the disintegration
and solubilization of solid
rubbers and polymers for the
luboil and adhesive industries,
but its success has now seen
its introduction into all fields
of mixing, whether chemical,
pharmaceutical or food.
The Duplex differs from the
standard multipurpose batch
mixers in having two workheads
facing in opposite directions; the
upper head pulls material down
from the surface of the mix, while
the lower head draws material
up from the base of the vessel.
The combined use of two
workheads makes the Duplex
ideal for applications where light
or buoyant material (powders,
rubbers and polymers, etc.)
needs to be drawn down from
the surface of a mix and rapidly
dispersed. Because of the
added movement afforded by
the two workheads, the Duplex
is also ideal for use on high
viscosity materials.
Typical applications
– Rapid solution of rubbers and
polymers into lubricating oils,
solvents and bitumen for the
production of luboils, adhesives
and bituminous compounds
– Disintegration and dissolving of
solid resin for the production
of varnish
– Vegetable and meat
purée/slurries
– Recovery of waste confectionery
