how to select a pump for high-shear applications
High-shear applications reshape materials with intense mechanical forces, vital in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical industries. Selecting the appropriate high-shear pump requires understanding factors like shear rate, viscosity, and flow patterns. Various pump types—including centrifugal, rotary lobe, peristaltic, gear, and diaphragm—offer distinct advantages for processes such as emulsification and homogenization. Additionally, material compatibility and durability are essential to ensure efficient and reliable performance in demanding environments, enhancing both operational efficiency and equipment longevity.
