Admix Boston Shearmill® Wet Mill/Homogenizer for Particle Size Reduction

Shearmill for high intensity wet milling, homogenizing and particle reduction

The Admix Boston Shearmill (BSM)is used for high intensity wet milling, homogenizing and particle reduction. They meet the toughest hygienic standards and are 3-A compliant. The Boston Shearmill offers benefits and features such as standard shear head grades include coarse, medium, and fine, special purpose heads available for texturising and blending without damaging or altering solids and desired consistancy. BSM models range from 11,5 to 55,5kW, providing product throughput from 18-625 ltr/min depending upon feed rate and viscosity and all shearmill models feature exclusive single mechanical quench seal rated for 48 bar and comply with TPV (36-01) standards.

Can in some cases replace high pressure homogenisers!

Today, Admix has hundreds of homogenizer and wet mill installations in place for tomato paste standardization, salad dressing and mayonnaise processing, pet food production, flavour emulsions, pharmaceutical preps and API blending, polymer blends, and more.

Particle size reduction is important in the food, dairy, beverage and other industries, and this product is a standout. For processes requiring milling of soft particles to <1 micron, or hard particles down to 1-2 microns, the BSM produces superior particle size reduction, often in just a single pass at high production rates.

        Wet milling substances with rotor-stator machines provide several advantages. Designed to run 24/7, our wet mills mix, disperse, emulsify, pulverize, macerate, crush, homogenize; reduce solids particles with minimal dust formation; and withstand uneven flow patterns, jolts, and pressure fluctuations.

Boston Shearmills are capable of processing very high throughputs at extreme shear rates producing an average mean droplet size of 0.05-3 microns.

How Inline High Shear Mixers Work

Boston Shearmills are constructed of a multi-slot rotor turning at high speeds in close proximity to a multi-port stator. Each shear head of the homogenizer has a double ring design providing two stages of mixing at both the rotor and stator. This results in three distinct, high-intensity work zones at each rotor/stator location where the mixture passes:

  • between the first set of rotor slots or teeth and the first ring of slots on the stator
  • between the first ring of slots on the stator and the second ring of slots in the rotor
  • between the second ring of slots in both the rotor and stator

Boston Shearmill models have 3 shear heads providing 6 mixing stages with 9 work zones to handle your toughest processing needs. Download the Boston Shearmill Inline Wet Mill Datasheet
