===High shear dispersers===
{{main article|high-shear mixer}}
High shear dispersers create intense shear near the impeller but relatively little flow in the bulk of the vessel. Such devices typically resemble [[circular saw]] blades and are rotated at high speed. Because of their shape, they have a relatively low [[drag coefficient]] and therefore require comparatively little torque to spin at high speed. High shear dispersers are used for forming emulsions (or suspensions) of immiscible liquids and solid deagglomeration.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hockmeyer.com/technical/publications/73-dispersion-tips-help.html |title=A Practical Guide to High Speed Dispersion |date=18 December 2012 |publisher=Hockmeyer.com |access-date=2017-06-23 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170610072344/http://www.hockmeyer.com/technical/publications/73-dispersion-tips-help.html |archive-date=10 June 2017 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
