Verso Laboratory In-Line Mixers
The Silverson Verso is a bench top In-Line mixer ideal for laboratory or pilot scale applications. The unit offers excellent reproducibility when scaling up and provides an accurate and easy means of forecasting the performance of larger In-Line mixers under full-scale working conditions.
The Verso is equipped with a digital tachometer, ammeter and programmable timer, invaluable for applications where process validation and reproducibility are required. It is also compatible with the Silverson “DataLogger” program.
Features:
- Touch pad control panel
- Powerful 1 hp (0.75 kW) motor with infinitely variable speed control
- Single or multistage interchangeable workheads available
- Self-pumping
- Maximum operating pressure 150 psi (10 bar)
- 0.75” Tri-clamp inlet/outlet connections
- Single mechanical shaft seal

In addition to the standard model, the Verso range includes two additional models:
Verso UHS: An Ultra-Sanitary version of the standard model, the Verso UHS is designed for stringent applications in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industries as well as Food, Cosmetics and other clean industries.
Verso-UHS-HV: The Verso-UHS-HV is designed for mixing high viscosity products. It incorporates the same unique and innovative ‘pumping rotor’ design as the production scale UHS-HV In-Line mixers. This substantially increases its self-pumping capacity, allowing it to process products such as gels, creams, sauces and gum solutions on a laboratory scale.
How It Works
Silverson's Verso Pilot Scale In-Line mixer offers a great many advantages to the processor - speed, versatility, self-pumping, aeration-free, guaranteed efficiency. At the heart of every mixer is Silverson's high performance rotor/stator workhead.
The high-speed rotation of the rotor blades within the precision-machined mixing workhead exerts a powerful suction, drawing liquid and solid materials into the rotor/stator assembly.
Centrifugal force then drives the materials towards the periphery of the workhead where they are subjected to a milling action in the precision-machined clearance between the ends of the rotor blades and the inner wall of the stator.
This is followed by intense hydraulic shear as the materials are forced, at high velocity, out through the perforations in the stator, then through the machine outlet and along the pipework. At the same time, fresh materials are continually drawn into the workhead, maintaining the mixing and pumping cycle.

Verso – How It Works
Workheads
A comprehensive range of workheads and screens is available for all Silverson high shear mixers. These easily interchangeable workheads offer great versatility by allowing any machine to be adapted to perform a wide range of mixing operations including emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating, dissolving, dispersing, blending, particle size reduction and de-agglomerating. Changing from one head or screen to another is quick and simple.
General Purpose Disintegrating Head
Used for a wide range of applications, this head will give the greatest throughput. Suitable for the blending of liquids of similar or greatly varying viscosities, its uses include the disintegration of solid and semi-solid materials.
Square Hole High Shear ScreenTM
The configuration and fine internal tolerances of this stator provide exceptionally high shear rates which are ideal for the rapid size reduction of soluble and insoluble granular solids. It is also suitable for the preparation of emulsions, gels and thickeners and fine collodial suspensions.
Slotted Disintegrating Head
For the disintegration of fibrous materials such as animal and vegetable tissue, as well as the disintegration and solubilization of “elastic” materials such as rubbers and polymers.
Emulsor Screens
These screens are suitable for liquid/liquid preparations and are especially useful for all emulsions. Emulsor screens are available in fine or medium perforations.
