High shear mixers operate by applying intense mechanical energy to the materials being mixed. This energy is usually delivered through a rotor-stator assembly, which rotates at high speeds to generate shear forces. The rotor-stator gaps are designed to create turbulence and high shear zones, which facilitate the breakdown of agglomerates and ensure thorough mixing. The process can be controlled by adjusting parameters such as rotor speed, gap size, and mixing time.
