High Shear In-Line Emulsification and Wet Milling
The Quadro Ytron® Z Emulsifier delivers unparalleled consistency and control of high shear mixer
applications involving emulsification, wet milling or grinding, deagglomeration and fine solids
dispersion.
The Z-Emulsifier accommodates up to three stages of sequential rotor-stator mixer tooling,
operating at high differential velocities with up to 15 shear zones working on product as
it flows through the in-line mixer. The result is consistent, repeatable quality at capacities
exceeding those of conventional high shear mixer, such as in-tank rotor-stator mixers, colloid
mills, and shear pumps.
High shear tooling for the Z-Emulsifier comes in a variety of slot sizes which allows a high
degree of flexibility in selecting the appropriate tooling for any given mixing application.
Through rotor-stator selection and varying the speed of the high shear tooling, the shear rate
of the mixer can be controlled and scaled with precision.
High Shear In-Line Mixer Performance and Advantages:
● Multiple row toothed rotor-stator tooling improves high shear performance and eliminates product
bypassing
● Up to 3-stages of successive high shear tooling enables a unique solution for each mixing
application
● Applications are pump fed to control fluid velocity separate from process shear energy
● An equal application of shear energy avoids over processing, and often achieves target results
in a single pass
● Toothed style rotor-stator tooling offers increased capacity over colloid mills and other in-line
mill technology
● Our application expertise and unique approach to process control allows a greater degree of precision
in scaling any process using the Z-Emulsifier
●Designed to meet 3-A Sanitary Standards for easy cleaning; CIP and SIP options available
