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 ...

Rotor-stator mixers are single-shaft mixers with an impeller rotating in close proximity to a stationary housing. They are used to rapidly break apart solid particles in a liquid, or to emulsify a ...

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 ...
