Sheer Blend – SBH/SBI Series Blender

Mixing is becoming increasingly important in a wide variety of industrial processes. Today’s products are often a large mixture of ingredients, such as stabilizers, thickeners, gums, sugars, and other additives. This can be challenging to provide a consistent blend quality in the most efficient manner possible.

To meet this challenge ZM Technologies offers two types of shear blenders based upon the popular LF platform. This allows for shared wear items for your pumps and easy piping solutions. The wide range of mechanical seal materials (single and double mechanical) and elastomers from the LF line are also available to fine tune the shear blender to the customer’s needs.

The SBH/SBI shear blender offers flexibility for a variety of solutions. The clearance of the SB shear blender can be adjusted from a 0.3 to 1.2 mm (0.01″ to 0.05″). Therefore, only the minimal necessary shear is applied to the product. This reduces damage, prevents overheating, and lowers power consumption. This Shear Blender is perfect for inline mixing of premixed products and can also be used to minimize undissolved particles or to achieve the specified final mix.

  • Different sizes to meet the application.

SBH Shear Blender Product Specs

When highest possible product shear is required, the SBH shear blender offers tightened clearances and the media goes through several shearing stages. This improves the solution quality, for example, by reducing the size of crystals for quicker solubility. The Shear Blender SBH ensures smoother product consistency and texture, uniform blending and repeatable mixing results in all processes.

SBH Features

  • Medium – High Shear Levels
  • 316L Stainless Steel Heavy Wall Construction
  • Cast and Machined
  • 304 Stainless Steel Adapter
  • Dynamically Balanced Impeller
  • 316L Stainless Steel Shaft
