After adding C-Bleach to a boiling suspension, employing an overhead stirrer as a method for achieving uniform particle dispersion, stirring for 15-30 minutes, should give some thought to another method. An overhead stirrer lacks the ability to achieve reduction in particle size.
A high shear homogenizer is the appropriate tool for the application, uniform particle dispersion in less than two minutes vs. 15-30 minutes with an overhead stirrer achieving the same particle size regardless of stir time, from start to finish.
Whichever tool is chosen for this process, an explosion proof device should be employed!

I think the particles in the c bleach would beat up the rotor/stator assembly. We’re not trying to make a stable emulsion with this product. Overhead stirrer would be more appropriate.
Do you have some catalog prices for some of your entry level homogenizers?
We have a customer who’s been using the XP28 Air-Driven Homogenizer for the last 18 months to mix in the C-Bleach. They report no damage to the Generator, Rotor-Stator.
seems like a very useful tool.
However, I don’t see where there is any need for particle size reduction in this particular task. I would even argue that creating fines by reducing particle size would be counter productive for the next step: filtration.
If your user hasn’t noticed an issue, apparently neither the abrasive nature of the particles nor the nominal size of said abrasive particles are as problematic as it looks from the cheap seats.
