thanks so just to get some sort of reference point and idea, would this be powerful enough for small batches to 1000ml to start with. Clearly I would like to have more power if I had a bigger budget. I hope to expand my budget if things go well.

The Scilogex OS20-S LED Digital Overhead Stirrer Specifications:

Maximum stirring capacity	:	20 Liters
Maximum torque	:	40Ncm
Viscosity maximum	:	10000mPas

this looks like good value at $589 on amazon with blade and stand- is this enough power for mixing up to 1000ml of creams and lotions. I am thinking that a standard light face cream would not be as much as 10,000 cps

the more i look the more confused I get as to which ones include stand and shafts in the price or not. Max torque etc etc…

maybe model this is better with max torque 100 N cm rather than 10 N cm How much torque do I need for a cream batch up to 1000ml only?

wow thank you all so much for your time in helping me - so very much appreciated.

I had been looking at the high shear mixer that Bobzchemist linked to, but like other people I have seen comment on the forum, I was very very wary of buying a cheap Chinese model. I have had bad experiences in the past and simply can’t afford to throw $500 in the trash bin after a few months.

However, assuming the mixer head part remains ok, does anyone think I could get the motor fixed fairly easily if it went wrong. In the country where I now live, there are numerous small ‘outfits’ that tinker and fix things as people are unable or unwilling to just throw away and buy new (unlike in the UK where I am from originally).
