Abstract
A modular high shear mixer has a shaft guard substantially enclosing the rotating mix shaft thereof and a mixing member guard substantially surrounding the mixing member formed upon the lower end of the mix shaft so as to enhance safety without undesirable affecting the performance of the mixer.. Modular construction facilitates both mechanical and fluid shearing utilizing a plurality of interchangeable mixing members. The mix shaft is driven by a AC motor, the speed of which is determined by a controller so as to eliminate the need for multiple pulleys.
