How To Make Pharmaceutical Tablet Coatings
6/2/2021
There are various different types of pharmaceutical tablet coatings including traditional sugar-based coatings, film coatings and enteric coatings. Whichever type of coating you're manufacturing, this video shows how a Silverson machine will give you a uniform, consistent mix overcoming common processing problems such as flecking caused by uneven dispersion of colorant.

‘How To’ Manufacture Hand Sanitizers
6/2/2021
Due to an increase of inquiries for mixing equipment for the manufacture of hand sanitizers Silverson produced a video specifically on how our equipment can help manufacture hand sanitizers and eliminate common mixing problems that occur when mixing some of the key ingredients, such as Carbopol.

How To Produce A Fine, Stable Emulsion With High Shear Mixing
6/2/2021
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more immiscible liquids – one being oil based and the other water based, or “aqueous.” They are described as “immiscible” liquids because they cannot easily be mixed together without separating. This video demonstrates how adding an emulsifier and using a high shear rotor/stator mixer can uniformly disperse the ingredients.

Deagglomerating When Mixing Powders And Liquids
1/8/2021
When adding powders to liquids they have a tendency to form agglomerates which conventional agitators cannot readily break down. The high shear action of the Silverson rotor/stator workhead rapidly disperses agglomerates, exposing increasing areas of the solid to the surrounding liquid.

Agitation Process Improvement Using High Shear Rotor Or Stator Mixers
1/8/2021
Despite the wide range of capacities and viscosities agitators can handle, the low shear nature of agitators limits their effectiveness to performing simple tasks such as blending liquids of like viscosities, maintaining in-tank uniformity, and producing flow in a vessel to promote heat transfer from jacketed vessel walls. Silverson High Shear Rotor/Stator mixers are ideal for these types of applications and can cut mixing times by up to 90%, offering improved yield and product quality and greater batch-to-batch consistency.

Blending Liquids Of Varying Viscosities
1/8/2021
Where there is a significant difference in viscosity between the two liquids, an agitator tends to move the two liquids around without actually blending them together, and it can take a long time to achieve a uniform blend. With a Silverson high shear mixer the liquids are blended almost instantaneously.
