The high shear laboratory pump is equipment designed for the rapid homogenization of samples, emulsification and dispersion of particles on a small scale. This system works by forcing the fluid through a rotor-stator assembly with minimum tolerances, generating intense mechanical and hydraulic shear. It is the ideal solution for research and development centers that require absolute precision when formulating new products.
In the laboratory environment, the demand for scalable and reproducible results is constant. Using a High shear pump guarantees excellent lump breaking and process recirculation, accurately simulating the conditions that the product will face in the industrial production line. This significantly reduces bench time and streamlines the transition from testing to large-scale manufacturing.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The high shear laboratory pump is an in-line mixing equipment that uses a rotor-stator assembly to crush, disperse and emulsify fluids on a small scale. It is essential for creating homogeneous and stable mixtures during the development of new products, simulating factory conditions.
It is mainly used for clump breaking and process recirculation in test samples. By forcing the liquid through small openings at high speed, the pump generates intense mechanical shear that reduces particle size and ensures formulation stability.
The main difference is in the energy applied to the mixture, as the high shear pump acts much more aggressively in breaking down particles than a conventional agitator. While the agitator only moves the fluid, the pump's rotor-stator system performs the emulsification and forced homogenization of the product.
The system works through a rotor that rotates at very high speed inside a fixed stator, creating a strong suction that pulls the fluid to the center of the head. The material is then centrifugally expelled through the stator grooves, undergoing a mechanical and hydraulic cut that disintegrates agglomerates.
Yes, the results obtained with our laboratory pump are perfectly scalable for large equipment. By maintaining the same peripheral speed and rotor-stator geometry, the process engineer is able to predict the behavior of the fluid and guarantee safe production scheduling.
The cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries are the biggest users of this equipment for research and development. They depend on the High shear pump to create creams, ointments, sauces and suspensions with perfect texture and no lumps.
It can process medium to high viscosity fluids, provided the system is configured correctly with the aid of a positive feed pump if necessary. For extremely thick products, continuous recirculation ensures that the entire mass passes through the shear head until it reaches the desired homogeneity.
Cleaning is facilitated by the sanitary design and 316L stainless steel construction, allowing cleaning fluids (CIP) to pass directly through the system. This ensures complete removal of residues and prevents cross-contamination between different samples in the laboratory environment.
