Silverson offers a complete range of multipurpose batch mixers. These mixers are capable of performing the widest variety of applications, such as:
- Mixing
- Emulsifying
- Homogenising
- Disintegrating
- Dissolving
The Silverson range of High Shear Batch Mixers offer efficiency and flexibility that is unmatched by other mixers. They are of robust and simple construction, ensuring that cleaning and maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum.
Each mixer is precision-engineered with an extremely close tolerance rotor/stator workhead which far outperforms conventional mixers. Reducing processing times by up to 90%, while improving product consistency and quality.
The range is divided into two distinct categories – medium range and large range models. Having capacities from 5 to 30,000 litres.
You can expect a Silverson Batch Mixer to:
- Eliminate agglomerates and fish eyes
- Reduce particle size
- Create stable emulsions and suspensions
- Rapidly dissolve solids
- Accelerate reactions
Each Silverson Batch Mixer comes complete with a special interchangeable rotor/stator mixing head, allowing it to be used on the wide variety of applications highlighted above.
The Multipurpose Batch Mixers can be suspended from a mobile floor stand to allow ease of use when moving from vessel to vessel. Alternatively the mixer can be permanently mounted on top of a vessel.
Advanced Packaging Systems offers free of charge trial loans on Silverson Batch Mixers, to allow you to trial your own products and experience the capabilities of a Silverson Mixer.

Silverson
Multi-Purpose Batch Mixers
Each Silverson Batch Mixer Model is designed with a special “interchangeable” rotor/stator mixing head, which allows it to be used on a wide variety of different products.
How it works
The beauty of the Silverson Multi-Purpose Batch Mixer lies within its heart – the special rotor/stator mixing head. The advantages of this mixing head design over simple conventional stirrers or agitators, stems from the multistage mixing/shearing action as materials are drawn through the workhead.
Stage 1
As the rotor blades rotate at high-speed within the precision-machined mixing workhead, liquid and solid materials are drawn upwards into the centre of the workhead by the powerful suction exerted.
Stage 2
Materials are then driven by centrifugal force towards the periphery of the workhead where they are milled into fine particles by the precision-machined clearance between the ends of the rotor blades and the inner wall of the stator.
Stage 3
Intense hydraulic shear occurs as the materials are forced, at high velocity, out through the perforations in the stator and circulated into the main body of the mix.
Stage 4
As the materials are expelled from the head at high speed towards the sides of the mixing vessel, fresh material is continually drawn through suction into the workhead to maintain the mixing cycle. By expelling sheared materials horizontally while fresh materials are drawn upwards into the head, a circulation pattern is established. This reduces aeration that is caused by the disturbance of the liquid’s surface.
Versatility
Any Silverson Multi-Purpose Batch Mixer from the 0.75kW BX to the 15kW GX20 can be used on a mobile floor stand.
Thereby greatly increasing the flexibility of these mixers, allowing them to be moved from vessel to vessel easily. In addition to being raised and lowered during operation, if required, to provide the ideal mixing position.

Silverson
Large Scale Batch Mixers
Specially designed for processing batches of 3,500 litres up to 30,000 litres, the Silverson Large Scale Batch Mixers are individually built to order.
Constructed specifically to suit each customer’s requirements, the Silverson Large Scale Mixers possess all the qualities of the Multipurpose Batch Mixer.
Each mixer is designed and built to the highest possible engineering standards. With strict tolerances between the rotor and stator to achieve super fine and smooth emulsions to specially balanced motors and precision ground shafts. The shafts are finish turned in-house to ensure vibration free running, given the tight tolerances between the rotor and stator.
No aspect of manufacture escapes Silverson’s rigorous inspection!
Silverson’s Large Scale Batch Mixers are designed to be maintained in-situ. Quick release shaft couplings, and a split two-part downthrust propeller are some of the features to ease maintenance and downtime.
Advanced Packaging System’s have represented Silverson for over 30 years, and welcome the opportunity to assist you with your application.

Silverson
Ultramix
The Silverson Ultramix is your ideal solution for rapidly wetting out powders, gums and thickeners. Intended for applications that do not require high shear, the capabilities of the Ultramix extend far beyond those of a conventional agitator or stirrer.
Featuring an innovative single-piece dynamic mixing head, designed for superior performance with minimal cleaning and maintenance.
Simply lower the Silverson Ultramix into a vessel, and watch the vigorous mixing head move the entire contents around, regardless of how difficult the shape of the vessel is. For this purpose the Ultramix is advantageous for customers using IBCs (tote bins).
Beginning with an Ultramix head attachment for the Laboratory Scale Mixer, users can then accurately and easily reproduce to production scale. Whether for applications with a mobile stand / IBC mounting, Forklift mounting, or Bottom entry mounting, the Silverson Ultramix offers such versatility.
