Verso Laboratory In-Line Mixers
Verso Laboratory In-Line Mixers
The Silverson Verso is a bench top In-Line mixer ideal for laboratory or pilot scale applications. The unit offers excellent reproducibility when scaling up and provides an accurate and easy means of forecasting the performance of larger In-Line mixers under full-scale working conditions.
The Verso is equipped with a digital tachometer, ammeter and programmable timer, invaluable for applications where process validation and reproducibility are required. It is also compatible with the Silverson “DataLogger” program.
Features:
- Touch pad control panel
- Powerful 0.75 kW (1 hp) motor with infinitely variable speed control
- Single or multistage interchangeable workheads available
- Self-pumping
- Maximum operating pressure 150 psi (10 bar)
- 0.75” Tri-clamp inlet/outlet connections
- Single mechanical shaft seal
- All wetted parts are in grade 316L stainless steel
- Hygienic construction
- Amperage display
In addition to the standard model, the Verso range includes two additional models:
Verso UHS: An Ultra-Hygienic version of the standard model, the Verso UHS is designed for stringent applications in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industries as well as Food, Cosmetics and other clean industries.
Verso-UHS-HV: The Verso-UHS-HV is designed for mixing high viscosity products. It incorporates the same unique and innovative ‘pumping rotor’ design as the production scale UHS-HV In-Line mixers. This substantially increases its self-pumping capacity, allowing it to process products such as gels, creams, sauces and gum solutions on a laboratory scale.
How It Works
Silverson’s Verso Pilot Scale In-Line mixer offers a great many advantages to the processor - speed, versatility, self-pumping, aeration-free, guaranteed efficiency. At the heart of every mixer is Silverson’s high performance rotor/stator workhead.
The high-speed rotation of the rotor blades within the precision-machined mixing workhead exerts a powerful suction, drawing liquid and solid materials into the rotor/stator assembly.
Centrifugal force then drives the materials towards the periphery of the workhead where they are subjected to a milling action in the precision-machined clearance between the ends of the rotor blades and the inner wall of the stator.
This is followed by intense hydraulic shear as the materials are forced, at high velocity, out through the perforations in the stator, then through the machine outlet and along the pipework. At the same time, fresh materials are continually drawn into the workhead, maintaining the mixing and pumping cycle.

Mixer Options
Workheads
A comprehensive range of workheads and screens is available for all Silverson high shear mixers. These easily interchangeable workheads offer great versatility by allowing any machine to be adapted to perform a wide range of mixing operations including emulsifying, homogenising, disintegrating, dissolving, dispersing, blending, particle size reduction and de-agglomerating. Changing from one head or screen to another is quick and simple.
