If you're making a cosmetic cream or lotion, mixing is the critical stage in forming a stable emulsion and obtaining the right consistency, skinfeel and functionality in the end product. The key to creating a stable emulsion is obtaining a fine, uniform droplet size. The more shear energy introduced into the mix, the smaller the droplets will become, resulting in a stable, homogeneous emulsion. This makes Silverson High Shear Mixers ideal for this application; they are capable of creating emulsions with a droplet size of 2 - 5 microns. Finer emulsions down to 0.5 microns can also be obtained, depending on the formulation.

For small production and laboratory work, Silverson laboratory mixers are ideal for batches from 1ml up to 12 litres. They are suitable for the widest range of applications – mixing, emulsifying, homogenising, disintegrating and dissolving – with an efficiency and flexibility unmatched by other machines. They offer excellent reproducibility when scaling up to full-scale production and provide an accurate and easy means of forecasting the performance of larger Silverson machines under full-scale working conditions.

Also on the stand will be a Silverson Pilot Scale AX mixer, ideal for batch sizes up to 50 litres and a Silverson Verso laboratory-scale In-Line mixer.
