The Anchor Stirrer is used at a low speed in high viscosity fluids. With a tangential flow (moving fluid horizontally around the vessel) the Anchor Stirrer will not break/damage sensitive materials and is ideal for the distribution of high mineral content in fluids. Suitable for emulsions, suspensions, gels, colour cosmetics. Can be used with products that contain large particles or beads that you do not want to be broken. With little vertical flow you may use the anchor stirrer at very low speed for higher viscosity surfactant formulations (shampoos, body washes etc) to minimise foaming.
