Q What is a vacuum emulsifying mixer?
A A vacuum emulsifying mixer is a type of industrial mixing equipment used to produce stable emulsions and uniform mixtures by combining high-shear homogenization with mechanical mixing under vacuum conditions.
It is primarily designed for processing liquid–liquid systems and liquid–powder mixing processes, where powders need to be dispersed into a liquid phase to form a consistent and uniform product.
During operation, the high-shear homogenizer reduces droplet or particle size to achieve fine dispersion, while the vacuum system removes entrapped air after mixing, helping improve product smoothness and structural stability.
Vacuum emulsifying mixers are generally available in two structural types: hydraulic lifting type and fixed type. The lifting type is typically used for small to medium batch production, with capacities ranging from 30L to 500L, while the fixed type is designed for larger-scale production, with capacities from 200L up to 10,000L.
This type of equipment is widely used in the production of creams, lotions, gels, foundation, toothpaste, ointments, and mayonnaise.

Q How does a vacuum emulsifying mixer work?
A A vacuum emulsifying mixer works by combining mechanical mixing with high-shear homogenization to process multi-phase materials into a uniform and stable system.
During operation, different phases such as oil and water are gradually combined under controlled mixing conditions. The high-shear homogenization step plays a key role by reducing droplet or particle size, allowing the components to be evenly distributed throughout the system and supporting the formation of a stable emulsion.
In liquid–powder mixing processes, powders are added into the liquid phase in a controlled manner. The subsequent mixing and high-shear action help break down agglomerates and ensure that solid particles are evenly dispersed within the mixture.
After the mixing and homogenization stages, vacuum is applied to remove entrapped air from the product. This step helps improve the smoothness of the final product and contributes to more consistent structural stability during storage.
Through this process, the system is able to produce materials with uniform consistency and stable performance across different applications.

Q What is the role of a homogenizer in a vacuum emulsifying mixer？
A The high shear homogenizer plays a central role in a vacuum emulsifying mixer by reducing droplet or particle size and ensuring uniform distribution of different phases within the formulation.
It operates based on a rotor–stator structure. As the rotor rotates at high speed, materials are forced through the narrow gap between the rotor and stator, where they are subjected to intense shear, turbulence, and mechanical forces. This process breaks down larger droplets or agglomerates into finer particles, allowing immiscible phases such as oil and water to form a stable and uniform emulsion.
Through continuous circulation and repeated shear action, the homogenizer helps improve product consistency and supports the formation of a finer internal structure, which contributes to overall stability.
In vacuum emulsifying mixers, the high shear homogenizer is typically operated within a speed range of 0–3000 rpm. The speed can be adjusted according to process requirements to achieve the desired level of emulsification and dispersion.
