Dispersion Mixers

Dispersion Mixers

Dispersion Mixers are most commonly used in the rubber and plastics industries. This mixer with its uniquely designed rotors, rotor blades, mixing chamber and pressure lid allows for thorough material flow and controlled shear mixing within the mixing chamber. This intensive mixing achieves a uniform compound mixture with exceptional dispersion of materials.

Working Principles

This is typically accomplished using a "saw tooth" blade rotating at high speed (approximately 5200 feet per minute peripheral speed). The blade imparts high shear forces to the ingredients being dispersed, breaking them apart. Through proper blade selection and sizing, a flow can be established that will repeatedly turn over the batch and yield a homogeneous product. Dispersers are most often used to mix low viscosity products such as paints.

Typical Features

Dissolves, deagglomerates, disperses, emulsifies Sizes range from 5HP to 400HP Maximum utility through wide varied drive and frequency inverter speed ranges Optional 360° rotation for multiple tanks Efficient transmission of horsepower
