L5 Series Laboratory Mixer
L5 Series Laboratory Mixer
The latest development in high shear lab mixing – the Silverson L5 Series – is ideal for all laboratory work, research and development, QA analysis and small scale production in all industries.
The L5 Series Laboratory Mixer is suitable for the widest range of applications – mixing, emulsifying, homogenising, disintegrating and dissolving – with an efficiency and flexibility unmatched by other machines. With a capacity from 1ml up to 12 litres and the ability to mix in-line with flow rates up to 20 litres/minute, they offer excellent reproducibility when scaling up to full-scale production and provide an accurate and easy means of forecasting the performance of larger Silverson machines under full-scale working conditions.
The multifunctional L5 Series features touch screen control with digital tachometer, programmable integral timer and amperage display. This level of instrumentation is invaluable for applications where process validation and reproducibility are required.
How It Works
The advantages of Silverson’s high shear rotor/stator laboratory mixer over simple conventional stirrers or agitators stem from the multistage mixing/shearing action as materials are drawn through the specially designed Silverson workhead - the heart of every machine
Stage 1
The high-speed rotation of the rotor blades within the precision-machined mixing workhead exerts a powerful suction, drawing liquid and solid materials upwards from the bottom of the vessel and into the centre of the workhead.
