It’s all done with machinery, of course. But there are different machines for different products. There are high-shear mixers, high-torque mixers, high-shear emulsifiers, low-speed agitators—even one ...

The impeller or rotor mechanically imparts high-shear forces to the ingredients. With rotor-stator mixers, clumps of particles are also broken apart by the hydraulic shearing forces generated as they ...

Shear force is any force corresponding to a material’s surface. In liquid, for example, this leads to friction between fluid particles, leading to particle size reduction. In high shear mixing, shear ...
