MegaShear from Ross is a patented ultra-high shear rotor/stator mixer for high-throughput emulsification, dispersion, and homogenization. The device features 11,300 ft/min tip speed and can reach a level of shear typically only seen in high-pressure homogenizers.

The MegaShear Model HSM-706M-50 (pictured) comes equipped with a 50HP motor for creating high-quality dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions for the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical, chemical, coatings, electronics, and composites industries. The MegaShear is also less sensitive to clogging and changes in viscosity compared to other high-pressure homogenizers.
