High Shear Impellers

• Used for application such as grinding, dispersing pigments and making emulsions
• High shear impellers are operated at high speeds and are generally used for addition of the second phase
• Saw tooth impeller generates heavy turbulence in the area around the impeller.
• Star shaped impeller having tapered blades provides intermediate shear levels.
• Start shape impeller is used in polymerization reactor.
• High shear impellers may be used in combination with other types of impellers  such as anchor.
