  • What mixing device is best for high viscosity dispersion?

    Posted by mattd9159 on December 4, 2019 at 1:58 am

    Looking to buy a device to evenly disperse cbd distillate into a muscle gel with some viscocity.
    What type of mixer is best for this?
    A high shear mixer? 
    Is a overhead stirrer enough?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated

    If you aren’t going to solubilize it in something else first, then the best way to find out would be:
     choose an incorporation method (say overhead mixer)- try taking your base in using the mixer alone first. Does it move easily? Will leaving it on there interfere with the desired viscosity of the product?
    Mix until you believe it has uniform appearance
    Then sample from some different areas of the batch and send out for potency testing.
