Stator Rotor Impellers are used in applications requiring extreme shear, typically in particle size reduction to the micron or submicron level. These impellers feature a rotating rotor and a stationary stator, which creates intense shear forces that break down particles. They are often employed in processes like emulsions, dispersions, and homogenization, where the precise size and uniformity of particles are critical. Stator-Rotor systems are particularly useful in applications such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and fine chemicals where micron-sized particles are required for the final product.
Mixing Tips for selection of Stator Rotor Impeller
Gums & Thickeners:
- Powder should be added as fast as possible to avoid viscosity buildup. HSD OR Rotor Stator should be designed to rapidly hydrate or disperse the powder.
- This will achieve agglomerate free solution with better productivity.
Mixing of High & Low viscosity Fluids:
- Start with low viscosity fluids as it will require smaller machine. Addition of high viscosity fluid should be at flow suction of impeller.
