High Shear Mixing

Our patented Shearmaker inserts blades through the side of a mixer, rotating at high speed to add controlled shear to the blend.

This technology is ideal for applications that require color development, lump reduction, or aggressive ingredient incorporation — without compromising uniformity.

Mixer Details

High-shear tools introduce intense energy into the mix zone, allowing the system to break down agglomerates and distribute pigments or powders quickly.

All particles pass each Shearmaker every 6 to 10 seconds, where a portion are reduced in size and rapidly reintegrated back into the overall blend.

This process allows for repeatable, predictable quality even in formulations that traditionally require longer processing times or secondary mixing steps.

Typical Applications

  • Colored mortars
  • Masonry cement
  • Brownie mix
  • Spice blends
  • Powder formulations requiring lump reduction
  • Color dispersion in dry blends

More Information

Shearmakers can be integrated into both single and double rotor mixers and are custom-sized based on batch volume, product density, and required shear intensity.

This system is especially effective in blends where pigments, colorants, or sticky ingredients tend to clump. High shear ensures uniform distribution while maintaining throughput and minimizing over-mixing.
