Used High Shear Mixers & Granulators
High shear mixers are used to incorporate powders into liquids and minimize lumps for a uniform product. High shear mixers are also used as granulators, or high shear granulation machines, for powder densification and agglomeration. We offer vertical high shear mixers and granulators (top-driven), and horizontal high shear mixers and granulators (side-driven) options for industries such as:
Top Used High Shear Mixers & Granulators Manufacturers
We offer used high shear mixers and used high shear granulators from trusted manufacturers, like Collette, Glatt, and Aeromatic-Fielder. Our warehouse offers a unique opportunity to compare a vast array of used high shear mixers side-by-side, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your needs.
Applications for High Shear Mixers and Granulators
High shear mixers and granulators are essential in industries that require rapid, thorough blending of dry powders with liquids to form uniform granules or emulsions. These machines are widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing for wet granulation processes, where they help create consistent tablet formulations. In the food and beverage industry, high shear mixers enable stable emulsions in sauces, dressings, and processed foods.
Chemical manufacturers use them to disperse additives, pigments, or resins uniformly, while plastics and polymer facilities rely on them for compounding and homogenizing various compounds. The ability to process materials with precision and consistency makes these mixers indispensable across batch and continuous production environments.

Frequently asked questions about Used High Shear Mixers & Granulators
Frequently Asked Questions
What are high shear mixers used for?
High shear mixers are designed to blend materials rapidly using intense mechanical force. They are commonly used to emulsify, disperse, or granulate materials in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, chemicals, and cosmetics.
How do high shear granulators differ from other mixers?
High shear granulators combine mixing and granulating functions in one unit. Unlike low-shear mixers, they apply intense energy to promote uniform particle agglomeration, ideal for processes like tablet production and wet granulation.
Can used high shear mixers handle sensitive materials?
Yes, many high shear mixers are designed to handle sensitive materials by controlling shear force, temperature, and mixing time. This ensures that product integrity is maintained while achieving the desired consistency or granule size.
Are your used high shear mixers inspected before sale?
All equipment is thoroughly inspected for mechanical integrity and operational readiness. We ensure each used high shear mixer or granulator meets performance expectations before being listed for sale.
