Hockmeyer Equipment Corporation has been Providing Process Solutions Around the World for over 70 years. We are the leader in the Grinding & Dispersion industry and offer custom designed process equipment for Mixing, Blending, Dispersing and particle size reduction as fine as 50 nanometers. We offer a State of the Art customer service laboratory for product testing on our equipment to take the guess work out whether a specific machine design will meet your product processing requirements.


Immersion Mills

Our Patented Immersion Mill uses circulation milling technology by rapidly pumping the slurry through the media field many more times and more efficiently than any other mill, including basket, horizontal or vertical mills. Remember that any mill that relies upon tank-to-tank or same tank re-circulation is not a continuous process but a batch process.

An Immersion Mill (a quantum improvement over traditional basket mills) combines mixing and milling achieving maximum particle size distribution, increasing production efficiency, and producing extraordinary quality and profitability. Immersion milling is a revolution in processing technology that defies comparison. Its unique design and method of operation surpasses all other systems, enabling the entire milling process to take place within a single water-cooled milling chamber.

Silverson L5M-A Laboratory Mixer


High Speed Dispersers  

Silverson Inline Mixer
A Disperser is a single shaft mixer used to break apart or dissolve solid particles in a liquid. This is typically accomplished using a "saw tooth" blade rotating at high speed (approximately 5200 feet per minute peripheral speed). The blade imparts high shear forces to the ingredients being dispersed, breaking them apart. Through proper blade selection and sizing, a flow can be established that will repeatedly turn over the batch and yield a homogeneous product. Dispersers are most often used to mix low viscosity products such as paints.

 


            

 

Dual and Triple Shaft Mixers


Hockmeyer's Multi-Shaft Mixers have a center mounted low speed Helical or Anchor Sweep blade sweeping the mixing vessel wall and an additional high speed shaft(s). The high speed blade typically provides high shear to disperse or dissolve ingredients. The low speed blade feeds the high speed blade by blending and folding the mass in the vessel and improves product uniformity by scraping the walls. Multi-shaft mixers are most often used to mix medium to high viscosity products.
