Dispersion Equipment

Dispersion Equipment

Coating performance demands that a coating be uniform, smooth and perform as per desired characteristics. Since coatings are a blend of solid and liquid components, certain type of process equipment is used to make sure that the solids in the final coating have the desired and uniform size and are totally wetted out. Most of the architectural, industrial and automotive coatings use either of the following process equipment to incorporate solids in the liquid.

  • High speed dispersers
  • Rotor-stator mixers
  • Media mills

These are used as the first stage processing equipment to manufacture a coating. They are the simplest in construction i.e. similar to propeller type agitators except they use a saw tooth impeller disk to ensure thorough wetting of solids and their incorporation in the surrounding liquid. Most of these dispersers have variable speed drives. Combination of speed and disk configuration allows them to wet the solids and reduce the particle size. Most of the blades are of stainless steel but in abrasive applications high density polyethylene disks of special configuration can be used.

Colloid Mills

A wide range of product viscosity may be processed, limited only by the maximum 150 psig (10 bar) inlet pressure. Higher viscosity products are processed at lower flow rates to stay within the pressure limit. Typical applications include salad dressing, mayonnaise, liquid egg homogenization, tomato based sauces and various personal care products such as lotions and creams.

Features and Benefits:

  • Up to 50% more flow rate with less heat than other mills
  • Easy to adjust, calibrated ring sets spacing, no special tools, less downtime, may be adjusted while operating
  • Easy to disassemble, only 7 basic parts, cleaning and inspection quick and easy, may also be cleaned in place
  • Longer bearing and seal life, shaft and bearing position independent of clearance adjustment, quieter operation
  • Sanitary design for processing food or pharmaceutical products
  • Flow rates: 400 to 2000 GPH (1500 to 7570 liters/hr.)

CR Mixer

Combines product recycling and shear action that can be “tuned” to produce precise effect desired. Varying rotor speed and controlling back pressure at discharge port determine the number of passes the product makes through the mixing zone. For heat-sensitive products (e.g., eggs, latex), incremental mixing moderates temperature rise.

Features and Benefits:

  • Precise, fast, economical mixing
  • Overruns beyond 300%
  • Full control over amount, intensity, duration of mixing, blending, dispersing, beating or whipping action
  • Incremental mixing for heat-sensitive products
  • Process-matched to broad range of products: liquid-liquid, liquid-gas, liquid-solids
  • Ideal for both continuous in-line use or side-arm, sequence use in batch operations

Shear Pumps

A choice of modularly interchangeable stators and rotors makes it versatile for processing a wide variety of products. Variable speed drives may also be used to further adjust the shear and mixing effect. Texturizes to give a smooth body and texture to such products as ricotta cheese and food pastes. Emulsifies to make stable emulsions of products with both oil and water base ingredients, blends to provide continuous, on-line blending without air incorporation or lumps of dry product, reconstitutes to assist reconstitution of powdered products such as milk powders, suspends/disperses to give stable solids in liquid suspension, polishes to improve the appearance of products by providing a smoother and more uniform surface texture.

  • Pumps as it processes (low viscosity liquids)
  • Versatile, choice of modularly interchangeable stator and rotor combinations to texturize, emulsify, blend, reconstitute, suspend, disperse or polish (improve appearance)
  • Economical
  • Sanitary design for processing food or pharmaceutical products
