MegaShear Designed for compounders,this line of mixers from Charles Ross can quickly mix, emulsify and homogenize resins and polymer batches. The mixer operates inline in continuous-manufacturing applications without a mixing vessel. Pictured is the company’s HSM-706M-50; featuring a 50-horsepower motor, it is appropriate for the chemical, composites and coating industries, among others.

What’s new? A new geometry for the rotor/stator face.

Benefits Higher tip speeds, greater shear and economical price. The mixer has a tip speed of 11,310 feet per minute — much faster than a previous version’s speed of 3,164 feet per minute. Also, the unit’s new geometry makes possible shear levels usually achieved only by high-pressure homogenizers that cost far more. Compared to high-pressure homogenizers, the MegaShear is much less sensitive to clogging and changes in viscosity.
