AEILS Single Stage High Shear Inline Mixer
Powerful, Efficient Mixing for Emulsions and Dispersions
Flow rates: 100 L/hr to 180,000 L/hr
AE Mixers’ in-line mixers are the ideal solution for both single-pass and recirculatory processing, making them perfect for everything from pilot plant studies to large-scale production applications.
These mixers offer many advantages over immersion processors for batch work. They occupy a smaller footprint, are easier to clean and can handle highly viscous media effectively when paired with a supplementary feed pump.
One of the standout features of in-line processors is their operational efficiency, which remains unaffected by the volume of the processing medium.
A key component of the in-line mixer is the dispersion head. This consists of one, two, or three intermeshed concentric stainless steel circles with precision machined perforations or slots.
Rings forming the stator remain stationary while the inner rings of the rotor rotate at high speed. The processing medium is progressively pulled under enormous centrifugal acceleration by the spinning rotor and subject to high shear action when drawn into the dispersion head.
Centrifugal action forces the medium through the tight gaps between rotor and stator, thus reducing solids and droplets to produce excellent smooth emulsions, dispersions, creams etc.
By interchanging the rotor/stator rings, it is possible to produce a wide choice of shear ranges to suit different materials and applications. The single stage in-line is a completely closed system which eliminates the risk of unintentional aeration.

We offer five interchangeable rotor/stator options as standard, which cover most requirements. We also provide custom-designed dispersion heads to cover particular problems:
AEILS/01 – General-purpose stator rotor combination for the greatest throughput of product. Used for the blending of fluids, disintegration of solids, dispersing of agglomerates and preparation of coarse emulsions.
AEILS/02 – Slotted stator rotor combination, used for the breaking down, shredding and dissolving of fibrous, polymeric and elastomeric solids.
AEILS/03 – Square hole screen stator with standard rotor, used for rapid size reduction of soluble and insoluble granular partly milled solids. Products include polymers into oil aqueous emulsions and suspensions of low solid content.
AEILS/04 – Single castle rotor and double castle stator, for the production of emulsions and suspended solids with products of average viscosity.
AEILS/05 – Double castle rotor and triple castle stator, to produce low viscosity emulsions and suspended matter with low solids content, where high particle reduction is required.
Flow rates: 100 L/hr to 180,000 L/hr
A robust, high-performance mixer for continuous or batch inline processing, it delivers precise control, consistent quality, and exceptional flexibility. The modular workhead design allows rapid adaptation to changing product and process requirements.

Notes: Purpose-designed machines and larger models can be manufactured to suit customer requirements. Should it be necessary to use a pump to assist flow, we would recommend a positive displacement pump i.e rotary lobe or progressive cavity.
