COVER STORY SILVERSON
Silverson Machines
at the PPMA 2025 This year Silverson Machines will be on stand G60 at the PPMA Total show
O
n the stand they’ll be demonstrating their world-leading range of high shear mixing equipment, from Laboratory- scale through to production-scale models. For mixing at Laboratory scale, the L5M-A
Laboratory mixer and the Verso benchtop In-Line mixer will be on the stand. These models are ideal for research and development and QA analysis, as well as a range of other in-tank and in-line mixing processes.
For small-scale mixing, Silverson will be exhibiting the FMX10, alongside other models in the small-scale mixer range launched last year. The FMX10 mixer has been developed to bridge the gap between the laboratory scale FMX5 and the larger, production-scale Flashmix product range. The FMX10 provides a simple, effective and
hygienic means of powder/liquid mixing on a small scale, with a batch size of up to 50 litres, depending on viscosity. Featuring the same pumping rotor design as Silverson’s High Viscosity ‘HV’ models, the FMX10 is able to process higher viscosity mixes, and the option of a high speed

motor, capable of 9,000rpm and Flameproof versatile.
The full-scale production equivalent of the
FMX10, the Silverson Flashmix, will also be present on the stand. As well as the Flashmix, this year visitors will be able to see working examples of other production-scale equipment such as the Silverson Batch and Bottom Entry units. Silverson High Shear in-tank Batch mixers are
able to emulsify, homogenise, solubilise, suspend, disperse and disintegrate solids with unparalleled precision. Each mixer features a precision- engineered Silverson rotor/stator workhead. These workheads generate extremely high shear rates, creating a powerful suction effect that continuously draws materials into the high shear zone.
This method of mixing is able to far
outperform conventional mixers, cutting processing times by up to 90 per cent while enhancing product quality, consistency and
This is not the only advantage of investing
in Silverson High Shear mixing equipment. As demonstrated on the stand, Silverson has a wide range of high shear mixers available, ranging from our most popular L5M-A Laboratory mixer all the way up to in-tank mixers that can process batches of up to 30,000 litres. Silverson Machines offer the largest capacity range from a single manufacturer and part of their success, and that of their clients, is the accuracy with which they can predict the performance of their production scale mixers based on laboratory trials. There is no point in using a laboratory mixer
capable of speeds of 25,000 rpm or more if the results cannot be replicated in production. That’s why Silverson laboratory mixers are designed and built to the same tolerances as the production units; comparable rotor tip speed and shear rates across our entire product line mean scalable results, every time. As every Silverson mixer is designed and built to custom design and build machines to meet
