Our PYR Hydraulic Lifting High Shearing Emulsifier can narrow the particle size of liquid, solid and liquid materials through the mechanical shear force between the working head and rotor, so that one phase can be evenly distributed to another or more phases, so as to achieve dispersion, homogenization and emulsification effects, thus forming a stable suspension or emulsion system.

The POLYC PYR Hydraulic Lifting Shearing Emulsifier narrows the particle size of liquid and solid materials through the mechanical shear force between a high-speed rotor and a fixed stator working head, so that one phase is evenly distributed into another to achieve dispersion, homogenization and emulsification and form a stable suspension or emulsion system, on a floor-standing hydraulic column suited to medium and large batch production.

Choosing the Right Hydraulic Emulsifier
How to ChooseMatch power and vessel
Choose motor power from 4 to 75 kW (PYR11, PYR22, PRY37, PRY55) with a vessel from 200 to 5,000 L, matched to your medium and large batch volumes and the fixtures your line uses.
Match speed and droplet size
Run the rotor-stator head at 1,500 to 3,000 rpm to reach droplet sizes of 1 to 20 micron depending on formulation, so the emulsifier delivers the fineness a disperser alone cannot.
Confirm lift, material and mounting
Specify the electric hydraulic lift with mechanical lock for fast vessel change, choose stainless steel 304 or 316L contact parts, and pick floor-standing column or tank-mounted mounting to suit your layout.

How it works
The POLYC PYR hydraulic lifting high-shearing emulsifier narrows the particle size of liquid and solid materials through the mechanical shear force between a high-speed rotor and a fixed stator working head, so that one phase is evenly distributed into another to achieve dispersion, homogenization and emulsification and form a stable suspension or emulsion system. The PYR series covers motor power from 4 to 75 kW with vessel sizes from 200 to 5,000 L, built on a floor-standing hydraulic column for medium and large batch production. A high-speed rotor turns inside the fixed stator working head at 1,500 to 3,000 rpm, generating intense shear, impact and turbulence in the rotor-stator gap that breaks agglomerates and pulls one phase into another, typically producing droplet sizes of 1 to 20 micron depending on formulation. The electric hydraulic lift with a mechanical lock raises and lowers the working head clear of the vessel for swift vessel change, cleaning and maintenance, and the head can be matched with pulling cylinders and fixtures for different vessel sizes. Contact parts are stainless steel 304 or 316L for hygiene and corrosion resistance, and the machine is offered as a floor-standing column or tank-mounted to suit the layout. POLYC supplies the emulsifier with the vessel and fixtures required by the line and provides installation guidance and spare-part support for medium and large production.

Working Principle
- 1
A high-speed rotor draws material into the narrow rotor-stator gap.
- 2
Mechanical and hydraulic shear, turbulence, and repeated circulation reduce droplets or agglomerates.
- 3
The processed phases become a finer, more uniform suspension or emulsion when formulation conditions are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the POLYC hydraulic lifting shearing emulsifier?
The POLYC PYR hydraulic lifting high-shearing emulsifier narrows the particle size of liquid, solid and liquid materials through the mechanical shear force between a high-speed rotor and a fixed stator working head, so that one phase is evenly distributed into another to achieve dispersion, homogenization and emulsification and form a stable suspension or emulsion system. It is built on a floor-standing hydraulic column for medium and large batch production.
What motor power and vessel size does it cover?
The PYR series covers motor power from 4 to 75 kW across models PYR11, PYR22, PRY37 and PRY55, with vessel sizes from 200 to 5,000 L depending on model. The units are matched to medium and large batch volumes and can be specified with the vessel and fixtures your line needs.
How does the rotor-stator working head work?
A high-speed rotor turns inside a fixed stator working head at 1,500 to 3,000 rpm, generating intense mechanical shear, impact and turbulence in the gap between rotor and stator. This breaks agglomerates and pulls one phase into another, producing a homogeneous, stable emulsion or suspension.
What droplet size can the emulsifier achieve?
The emulsifier typically produces droplet sizes of 1 to 20 micron depending on formulation, rotor-stator gap and speed. It is well suited to stable suspensions and emulsions where a disperser alone would not reach the required fineness.
What does the hydraulic lifting system do?
The electric hydraulic lift with a mechanical lock raises and lowers the working head clear of the vessel, which makes operation brief and lifting swift for fast vessel change, cleaning and maintenance. The head can be matched with pulling cylinders and their fixtures for different vessel sizes.
What contact materials and mounting options are available?
Contact parts are stainless steel 304 or 316L for hygiene and corrosion resistance, and the machine is offered as a floor-standing column or tank-mounted to suit the layout. The vessel is specified per model from 200 to 5,000 L.
What industries is the emulsifier suited for?
It suits medium and large sized production in paints and coatings, inks, adhesives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and specialty chemicals where a stable suspension or emulsion is required, and where batch flexibility matters more than continuous throughput.
How does an emulsifier differ from a disperser or bead mill?
A high-speed disperser only premixes and wets powder; an emulsifier uses a rotor-stator head to reach 1 to 20 micron droplets for true emulsification; a bead mill grinds with media to sub-micron size. Choose the emulsifier for batch suspension or emulsion, the disperser for premix, and a bead mill for final fine grinding.
