HIGH SHEAR MIXERS

Quadro® industrial high shear mixing equipment excels at powder incorporation/dispersion into liquids, liquid/liquid mixing and emulsifying. Our inline high shear mixers provide numerous advantages. They reduce batch times, maximize the use of raw ingredients, help reduce energy expenditures and minimize waste while delivering the highest quality final product.

  • Inline Powder Disperser

     Quadro Ytron® ZC - is a high shear single-pass inline disperser with the ability to continuously disperse difficult-to-wet powders and rheology modifiers (for example, viscosity-building powders) into a controlled liquid stream.

  • Inline Emulsifier Mixer

     Quadro Ytron® Z - is a multi-row toothed rotor-stator industrial mixer designed to reduce bypassing in macro-emulsion processing, homogenization, modifying product textures and fine particle dispersions. This industrial high shear inline mixer slashes mixing times and boosts your bottom line.

  • High Shear Homogenizer & Wet Mill

     Quadro® HV - is a unique high-velocity rotor-stator mixer for submicron homogenizing, high shear wet milling and suspension micronization. Industrial high shear mixers excel at achieving submicron homogenization, rapidly and efficiently.

  • In-Tank Mixer

     Quadro Ytron® Jet Mixer - is a low shear in-tank mixer designed for highly efficient liquid blending, solids suspension, powder incorporation and dissolving of solids. This robust industrial mixer is just one example of our comprehensive line of superior mixing equipment offerings.

WHY CHOOSE QUADRO®?

Quadro’s industrial mixers have been designed to improve on technologies once considered “good enough.” We reconceptualize and reengineer to arrive at “better.” Check out our blog post on high shear mixing facts to see the Quadro Liquids difference.

Quadro offers a full line of industrial mixing equipment, starting with the low shear energy, in-tank Quadro® Y-tron® Jet mixer. This superior industrial mixer excels at relatively gentle mixing tasks, which may be required in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals and food to personal care and chemicals. 

QUADRO® YTRON ZC

The line continues with the Quadro® Ytron ZC. This unique inline powder dispenser is custom engineered to streamline the incorporation of difficult-to-disperse ingredients in personal care & cosmetics, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical applications.

This workhorse industrial mixer excels at inline single-pass and recirculating powder applications. Featuring significantly minimized air entrainment and dramatically shorter dispersion times, this machine can slash batch times by as much as 90% compared to older, less efficient technologies. 

QUADRO® HV SERIES

Our equipment line doesn’t stop there. For still more delicate, demanding tasks such as submicron processing or suspension micronization, our line continues with the Quadro® HV-Emulsifier and Wet Mill, offering the lowest cost per kg-hr in the industry. This versatile machine can easily be tooled to optimize its use as either a homogenizer or a wet mill.

The Quadro® HV series provides more process shear energy than a conventional rotor-stator mill and is ideally suited for processing submicron emulsions or for suspension micronization. Advantages include finer particle sizes in far less time, easier cleaning and maintenance compared to competing machines, and significant capital cost savings.

SELECTING THE RIGHT MIXER 

There are various myths surrounding high shear mixing that discourage people from using the equipment. However, selecting the right high shear mixer is a matter of understanding how it will be used. High shear mixers are ideal for creating homogenous mixtures and emulsifications, even from traditionally difficult-to-blend materials. 

In high shear mixing, a high-speed rotor applies enough velocity to generate shear, thus reducing the size of particles to the point where they can be more easily combined with other substances. In rotor-stator high shear mixers, the stator creates a shearing action as well. 

Typical applications for high shear mixing equipment include: 

• Homogenous mixtures
• Emulsifications
• Dispersions
• Wet milling
• Deagglomeration
• Particle size reduction
• Reaction acceleration between materials
• Solubilization
• Laboratory testing

Additionally, shear mixer products are used across numerous industries, where any of the above applications are required. These industries include:

• Food & beverage
• Consumer care products such as toothpaste and shampoo
• Cosmetics
• Pharmaceuticals
• Nutraceuticals
• Chemicals
• Oil & gas drilling fluids
