Equipment Function
The Silverson High-shear Mixer - UCC

Silverson High-shear Mixer

The high shear mixer offers great versatility by allowing to perform a wide range of mixing operation including emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating, dissolving, dispersing, blending, particle size reduction and de-agglomeration thanks to the interchangeable work heads.

LUMiSizer Accelerated Physical Stability Analyser - UCC

LUMiSizer Accelerated Physical Stability Analyser

This instrument is an analytical centrifuge used for investigating the physical stability of solutions, dispersions, gels, and foams under accelerated conditions. It is possible to analyse 12 samples simultaneously. Testing conditions can vary in the range 0-4000 rpm and 15-45°C. Typical applications include accelerated creaming and protein sedimentation testing of emulsions and protein beverages.

Powder Flow Tester - UCC

Powder Flow Tester

Instrument from Brookfield is based on shear cell technology, which is a standard approach for characterising the flow behaviour of bulk solids. The flow tester is of relevance to researchers investigating powders for food and pharmaceutical applications. Example analyses include, but are not limited to, flowability, bulk density, compressibility, and wall friction.
