Conical Screw Mixer

Conical Screw Mixer is a batch mixer specially designed for segregative, free-flowing powders and pastes. The Conical Screw Mixers is famous for its low-intensity mixing and is a pioneer in mixing technology. It especially suited to delicate products and processes where very accurate results are required and is synonymous with gentle mixing of large volumes of up to 100,000 liters. The basic design consists of a cylindrical screw located at the vessel wall that conveys product from the bottom of the conical vessel to the product surface. The screw is attached to an arm which rotates around the perimeter of the vessel causing convective mixing and shear. The particles at the surface opposite the screw accelerate downward in a mass flow by gravity as the diameter of the vessel decreases. The three actions result in a unique three dimensional mixing action.

Advantages:

• Cantilevered Screw design (no bottom support)

• Belt drive systems available for sanitary applications – no lubrication inside the vessel

• Clean in place designs CIP/SIP

• Designed for chemical, pharmaceutical, mineral & food

Applications:

• Mixing and homogenization of powders, pastes and slurries

• Granulation or agglomeration of powders

• Addition or injection of liquids into dry powders

• Reaction under vacuum or pressure conditions

• Heating and cooling of powders

• De-aeration or densification of powders

• Homogenization of particle size and color

Mid Shear Mixture

Inline Disperser

For the best possible wetting and dispersion of the powdered solids in liquid, the pressure differences created by the pumping and centrifugal action of the rotor are utilized. Air contained in the powder expands in the negative pressure of the suction area and the powder enters the liquid, which is pressed into the core of the powder structure in the positive pressure area of the rotor.

Powders wetted in this way can be finely dispersed with considerably less energy input. As a result, products that do not require further grinding can be manufactured with permanently reproducible quality.

Products that require further homogenization in a rotor/stator or further grinding in an agitator bead mill can be processed with optimized parameters, such as higher throughput or smaller grinding media. Here, the consistent quality of the pre dispersion has a positive effect on the reproducibility of the grinding result.

Advantages

· Minimal heating of product

· Minimal input of shear forces

· De aeration of the product after addition of powder

· Time savings through efficient and effective dispersion of powder

· High degree of availability

· dispersing Solids in Liquids

Standard Version

The Inline Disperser Is Unique On The Market. In The Standard Version, Dispersion Is Not Based On The Conventional Rotor-Stator Principle, In Which High Shear Forces And A High Energy Input Are Used To Disperse Powder In Liquid. In This Version, The Dispersing Principle It Does Not Use A Stator Through Which The Product Flows And No Narrow Shear Gaps Between The Rotating And Stationary Parts.

The Pressure Differences Created By The Pumping And Centrifugal Effect Of The Rotor Are Used To Achieve The Best Possible Wetting And Dispersion Of The Powdered Solids In Liquid

Advantages :

· Minimal Product Heating

· Lowest Input Of Shear Forces

· De Aeration Of The Product After The Solid Intake

· Insensitive To Small Foreign Objects

· High Availability Application Fields:

· Shear-Sensitive Products

· Temperature-Sensitive Products

ROTOR-STATOR VERSION

For products that require dispersion with more energy, the can also be equipped with a classic rotor-stator version. The dispersion principle is the same as in the standard version. Vacuum expansion of the contained air and wetting by overpressure also takes place here. However, the stator, through which the product flows, introduces significantly higher shear forces into the product.

The result is higher shear forces in the product for de agglomeration of powders that are difficult to disperse.

Advantages:

More intensive dispersion of agglomerates that are difficult to disperse

Shorter dispersion time

Application Fields:

Solids that are difficult to disperse

Shear-insensitive products

Homogenizers

The design of the homogenizer determines the quality of your dispersions.
Only with optimum utilization of the shear energy can the required particle/droplet sizes and size distributions be achieved. In addition to economy, efficiency is paramount when selecting a homogenizer. And of course, a universal application for your various products must be possible.

Our particular focus is on the development of an optimal tooth geometry, on the dispersion tooth, as well as on the design of the entire homogenizing system, in order to produce both the highest shear rates / shear energies and thus to ensure the finest droplets / particles. In addition, all homogenizers are CIP-capable.

The homogenizers ensure high flow rates, especially in the upper vacuum range. With the homogenizer we meet all the demands of the market.

A variety of options and versions makes the following possible for you:

· Homogenization

· Dispersing

· Suction of different phases directly into the area of the homogenizer (e.g. hot-cold)

· Dilution of either sulphate in a continuous process

· Induction of powders

· Dosed feeding of liquid phases at the same time and much more
