Rotosolver® High Shear Mixer for Cosmetics | Admix

Written by Admix | October 8, 2025

In cosmetics manufacturing, every formula demands precision. Whether you’re blending creams, gels, or color dispersions, the goal is consistent texture, flawless appearance, and long-term stability. The Rotosolver® high shear mixer from Admix delivers that — and more. Designed for challenging powder dispersion, emulsification, and homogenization, the Rotosolver helps you create smoother, more stable products faster and more efficiently than conventional mixing systems.

The Challenge: Complex Formulas, Complex Mixing

Cosmetic formulations often include powders, gums, waxes, and active ingredients that resist uniform blending. Traditional agitators or propeller mixers struggle to pull in and disperse these materials efficiently, often leading to:

  • Incomplete powder wet-out and clumping
  • Long batch times and inconsistent viscosity
  • Poor color or texture uniformity
  • High energy consumption

For formulators working with everything from pigments and thickeners to emulsions and dispersions, inefficient mixing leads to wasted time, rework, and lost productivity.

The Rotosolver Solution: High Shear, High Impact

Admix’s Rotosolver head is engineered to deliver controlled, high-intensity shear for vigorous mixing and complete dispersion — without overprocessing your ingredients. It combines the benefits of a homogenizer, disperser, and inline mixer in one design, ideal for cosmetic production environments where efficiency and product quality are everything.

  1. Complete Powder Induction and Wet-Out
    Powders are quickly drawn into the liquid stream and fully wetted, eliminating fisheyes, dry spots, and lumps — even with gums, pigments, or clays.
  2. Consistent, Stable Emulsions
    Uniform droplet size and excellent shear distribution result in smooth, stable emulsions with ideal texture and shelf stability.
  3. Shorter Processing Times and Higher Throughput
    High shear energy is applied exactly where it’s needed, cutting batch times while reducing energy use and maintenance costs.
  4. Scalability from Lab to Production
    Whether in an R&D lab or full-scale manufacturing line, Rotosolver technology scales seamlessly — ensuring the same reliable, repeatable results every time.

 

Applications in Cosmetics

  • Pigment dispersion: Uniform color distribution and fine particle reduction
  • Emulsion blending: Creams and lotions with smooth, stable textures
  • Gum and polymer hydration: Rapid dispersion of xanthan, carbomer, and other thickeners
  • Powder induction: Efficient mixing of powders into liquids without dusting or waste

Across all these applications, the Rotosolver consistently reduces batch time, boosts yield, and enhances overall product quality — helping manufacturers streamline production and stay competitive.
