Shaffer® High-shear mixer is built to handle demanding applications with dense, high-fat, or aerated batters. Whether producing sweet baked goods or creamy fillings, these mixers combine shear power with precision control. Their hygienic design and high-capacity range make them an excellent solution for continuous production lines requiring speed, repeatability, and sanitation.
Available in enclosed or hybrid open frame designs, each mixer features stainless steel construction, customizable operator interfaces, and a patented rotary face shaft seal system for long-term reliability.
Reliable, sanitary, and scalable
With batch capacities ranging from 1,500 to 2,800 pounds (680–1,270 kg), the mixers are suited for both mid-size and large-scale production. Optional load cells and Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems further support automated, high-throughput workflows.
All contact surfaces, including the bowl, agitator, and canopy, are constructed of stainless steel. Positive pressure bowl seals and metal-detectable components ensure food safety compliance and clean operation.
Operator-focused design
From the intuitive touchscreen interface to hydraulic tilt and flexible canopy configurations, the mixer prioritizes ease of use and integration. The Watershed® panel enclosure allows for streamlined, waterproof control, while ergonomic bowl tilt systems simplify discharge and sanitation.
