Industrial Mixer Horsepower Selection Guide

Selecting appropriate horsepower for industrial mixing equipment directly impacts production efficiency and product quality. At Shar Systems, we manufacture a comprehensive range of industrial mixing equipment, including low-speed mixers up to 200 HP and specialized dispersers up to 300 HP, designed to meet demanding industrial applications.

Equipment Capabilities

Our industrial mixers combine power with precision, offering speed ranges from 15 RPM to 9,600 RPM to accommodate various process requirements. Both fixed and variable speed options are available, with explosion-proof configurations for hazardous environments. For high-intensity applications, our dispersers deliver enhanced capabilities with multiple impeller options, suitable for atmospheric, vacuum, and pressure applications.  We offer both single and multi-shaft configurations to best suit your needs.

Industrial Applications

The versatility of our mixing equipment serves a wide spectrum of industrial needs. In adhesives and sealants manufacturing, precise mixing ensures consistent product quality. For aerospace and aviation materials, our equipment meets rigorous industry standards. We also serve the specialized needs of battery and electronics production, chemical processing, and industrial inks manufacturing. Additionally, our systems are optimized for paint and coating production as well as plastics and composites processing.

Drive Systems and Configuration

Your application's specific requirements guide the selection of appropriate drive systems. We offer belt-driven systems that provide smooth operation, direct-drive configurations for maximum efficiency, and gear-driven options for highly viscous products. Each system can be mounted vertically or horizontally to suit your facility's layout and process requirements. 

Engineering Considerations

Our engineering team carefully evaluates several critical factors when specifying horsepower requirements for your system. Material properties and viscosity play a crucial role in determining the mixer configuration and power needs. Batch sizes, processing environment requirements, and production rate targets all influence the final configuration. Tank geometry and configuration must also align with the selected power system for optimal performance.

Custom Solutions

As an American manufacturer, we pride ourselves on designing and building equipment that precisely matches your specifications. Our comprehensive system design process includes detailed CAD drawings and on-site evaluation to ensure perfect fit and function. We provide complete installation support, followed by thorough testing and validation. To ensure your team's success, we also offer comprehensive operator training for your custom system.
