High Shear Homogenizer (Rotor-Stator Mixer) - DSM120

The DSM120 is an industrial rotor-stator high shear homogenizer for batch dispersion, emulsification, and particle size reduction. It is designed for processes where conventional agitators cannot achieve adequate powder wet-out, deagglomeration, or repeatable batch uniformity.

Industrial batch rotor-stator homogenizer for dispersion, emulsification, and particle size reduction

The DSM120 uses a high-speed rotor-stator mixing head to generate a localized high shear zone. Product is drawn into the rotor and forced through stator openings at high velocity, producing strong shear forces for efficient dispersion, deagglomeration, and emulsification.

This rotor-stator action helps:

  • Accelerate powder wet-out and reduce fish-eyes
  • Break agglomerates and lumps for smoother texture
  • Improve batch uniformity and repeatability
  • Support stable oil-in-water and fat-based emulsions
  • Reduce mixing time compared to conventional agitators in many formulations

High shear rotor-stator mixing is used when conventional propeller or anchor agitators cannot achieve reliable powder wet-out, agglomerate breakdown, or stable emulsification.

Rotor-stator high shear homogenizer with vertical positioning

The DSM120 is manufactured as a single standard model for stable and repeatable industrial batch processing. The vertical lift system positions the rotor-stator mixing head at the optimal immersion depth to improve recirculation into the shear zone and keep batch results consistent.

Correct positioning improves:

  • Mixing efficiency and recirculation into the shear zone
  • Shear effectiveness for deagglomeration
  • Batch uniformity and texture stability
  • Process repeatability between batches

Typical industrial mixing and homogenizing processes

The DSM120 is used where rapid dispersion, emulsification, or deagglomeration is required. It supports emulsification of multi-phase systems and helps maintain uniform product consistency.

Powder-to-liquid dispersion (wet-out and deagglomeration):

  • Cocoa powder dispersion into liquid phase
  • Sugar, milk powder, and protein wet-out
  • Stabilizer and thickener incorporation
  • Agglomerate breakdown and fish-eye reduction

Liquid-to-liquid emulsification (emulsifying mixer applications):

  • Oil-in-water and fat-based emulsions
  • Syrup and flavor blending
  • Emulsifier dispersion and stabilization
  • Homogenization of multi-phase liquid systems

Typical industries

DSM120 is used in industries where controlled dispersion, emulsification, and repeatable industrial batch homogenization are required.

  • Chocolate and confectionery production
  • Food processing and ingredient formulation
  • Cosmetics and personal care manufacturing
  • Chemical processing and liquid formulation
  • Adhesive and resin production
  • General industrial liquid processing

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the DSM120.

Is DSM120 a high shear homogenizer?

Yes. The rotor-stator mixing head creates a controlled high shear zone for batch homogenization, powder dispersion, and stable emulsions.

What is the difference between an industrial homogenizer and a high shear mixer?

Industrial homogenizer is often used as a general term. A rotor-stator high shear mixer is a common batch homogenization method that forces product through stator openings at high velocity for dispersion, deagglomeration, and emulsification.

Can DSM120 be used as an emulsifying mixer?

Yes. DSM120 supports oil-in-water and fat-based emulsions when the formulation, emulsifier selection, and rotor-stator positioning are set correctly.
