Energy-efficient mixing and dispersion technologies
The Conti-TDS powder wetting and dispersing machine (photo) is available in two sizes: Conti-TDS 2 and 3. In the Conti-TDS, the processes of wetting and dispersing are concentrated in a dispersing zone with an effective volume of only about a quarter of a liter. Compared to a dissolver operated in a vessel, the disperser generates about 30,000 times higher volume-specific power, which is crucial for successful dispersion. Using a rotor-stator system, the disperser also builds up shear forces that are 1,000 times higher. The dwell time is extremely short, so that only a fraction of the energy is needed compared to the High Speed Dissolver. At the stand, the company is presenting the Conti-TDS 2 together with a Jetstream Mixer as a compact process system. The Conti-TDS 3 disperser will be presented together with a Jetstream Mixer, a textile silo and the Flex FSA discharge aid for poorly flowing powders as a complete process system. In addition, the Multipurpose unit with the X100 tool shaft will be presented. By simply exchanging the shafts, Multipurpose systems can realize different tasks such as jet mixing, mix-dispersing, dispersing and wetting powders with only one system.
