Vessel of GEA INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer
Continuous mixing solutions are often the preferred choice when high product throughputs are required or a considerable amount of automation is involved.
The extremely versatile INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer can be used to improve an existing production line or replace existing equipment. More than just a tank with a bottom-mounted high shear mixing device, the customizable multirotor integrated in the INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer comprises a high shear mixing device for effective dispersion and a centrifugal pump that feeds the downstream process.
Our customers have the opportunity to trial products at our test facilities in Germany and Denmark before scaling up production - contact us to find out more.
Internal and external recirculation
Our INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer can be equipped with both internal and external recirculation. The internal recirculation reintroduces the product into the tank in the opposite direction of the rotor/stator flow. This creates a more chaotic mixing, which then functions as a vortex breaker despite volume. The external recirculation can lead the product to a buffer tank before it is reintroduced to the mixer or for further downstream processing.
Key benefits of the GEA INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer
- A continuous process that can run in-line with the downstream process
- Just-in-time production – preparation of the batch at the time needed
- Zero to minimal storage time of the mixed product before further processing
- High volume powder intake by vacuum
- Rapid wetting of powders into liquids without “fish eyes” or agglomerates
- Hygienic as standard
- Closed vacuum system and powder suction enables highest level of working environment and utilization of ingredients

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
