Larry Shapiro photo GHL series High Shear Mixer granulator consists of a vertical mixing barrel, bottom placed agitating impeller and side installed choppers. When powders or slurry materials are fed into the mixing barrel, the specially designed rotating impeller pushes the material onto the inner barrel wall. Under the effect of centrifugal force, the material moves up alongside the barrel wall to form a swirl flow. At the same time, the side installed high-speed chopper completely shear and chop the materials to get uniform mixing.
