What is a Rotor Stator ?
A Rotor Stator is a single shaft mixer with an impeller rotating in close proximity to a stationary housing. It is used to rapidly break apart solid particles in a liquid or emulsify liquids into liquids. The impeller, or rotor, imparts high shear forces to the ingredients mechanically. Clumps of particles are also broken apart by the hydraulic shearing forces generated as they are ejected through openings in the stator into the rest of the batch. Rotor Stators are particularly effective at chopping coarse particles such as rubber or flake resin. The stator directs the flow and confines the particles while the rotor imparts shear.

Features/Options Available

• Typically designed for atmospheric operation, but vacuum or pressure designs are available
• Electrical components for hazardous or safe environments

The Hockmeyer Difference
Hockmeyer Rotor Stators are designed with a robust shaft and bearing housing that keeps the rotor in precise alignment with the stator during operation. For this reason, our Rotor Stators do not require a bushing at the base of the shaft. Bottom stabilizing bushings must be submerged in the product being mixed, and require regular maintenance. Hockmeyer Rotor Stators require little maintenance and are easy to clean.
