Emulsification is a specific type of mixing process that involves combining two immiscible liquids, usually oil and water, to form a stable, homogeneous mixture known as an emulsion.
Emulsions are used in various industries, including food production, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing, for a wide range of purposes.
Achieving and maintaining emulsion stability can be challenging, as emulsions tend to separate over time due to differences in density and surface tension between the phases. Proper high-shear mixing equipment can enhance the stability of a product and prevent the separation of oil and water phases.
Also, it’s quite challenging to maintain product quality and emulsion stability from batch to batch, controlling the size of the dispersed phase droplets in the emulsion, which is essential.

Crystallization
Crystallization is a process that involves the formation of solid crystals from a liquid or a solution as a result of changes in temperature, concentration, or other environmental conditions. Crystallization is used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing, and materials science, for specific purposes.

Heat transfer
Mixing plays a crucial role in heat transfer processes, and its purposes in this context are often related to optimizing heat exchange between different components or phases within a system.

Dissolving
Dissolving mixing is a process that involves mixing one or more solid substances into a liquid or solvent to create a homogeneous solution. The primary purpose of dissolving mixing is to achieve complete and uniform dissolution of the solids into the liquid.

Solids suspension
Solid suspension mixing refers to the process of mixing solid particles or granular materials into a liquid or another fluid medium to create a homogeneous mixture.

Storage
Mixing equipment for storage tanks serves the purpose of homogenizing and maintaining the consistency of fluids or materials stored in tanks. It is quite a common need in industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, or wastewater treatment. Adequate mixing is required for storing the end product or in buffer tanks.
