Reliability
The Greerco Pipeline Mixer series is engineered
and proven to provide many years of dependable
service. The design exceeds the high quality
standards necessary to achieve optimal process
Secondary
results and withstand the rigors of difficult
Turbine
processes that require high shear mixing.
• Available in industrial and sanitary models P
T
• Single or multi-stage heads for process
customization
• The robust stator design handles severe duty better
than competitive designs that utilize screen technology
• The axial in–axial out flow path results in higher through- Multi-Port
puts with lower horsepower requirements Secondary Stator
• The entire process stream is directed through the mixing Primary
head, eliminating any chance of bypassing the shear zone Stator
• With over six decades of successful installations, the
Pipeline Mixer has earned its reputation as an excellent
solution for high shear applications Standard Tandom Shear Configuration

Cost Effective Solution

Low Horsepower Applications
Reduces initial investment and energy • Solids incorporation
consumption • Homogeneous dispersions
• Solids deagglomeration
High Throughput • Rapid blending
Faster processing rates improve productivity • Particle size reduction
• Pre-packaging product refinement
Robust Design
Minimal downtime and maintenance costs

Mixing Mechanism
• Versatile body design allows for the use of
either a single rotor-stator or tandem rotor-
stators to meet desired process results
• High speed turbine running in close proximity
to a fixed stator creates intense hydraulic and
shear forces
• Tightly held tolerances on machined components
allow for consistent and predictable performance
