YTRON-XC powder dispersing unit. It is used for dissolving / dispersing of large quantities of solids such as Sodium- and Potassium-Caseinates, Milk Powder, Starch, Sugar, Silicates, Pigments and actives. YTRON-XC is used widely for the production of base mixes and concentrates before spray drying, in three shift productions.
Powders and compounds with a tendency to form lumps are continously incorporated from a BigBag or silo and efficiently dispersed inLine. The motor power used for standard applications typically ranges between 5,5 kW and 15,00 kW . This indicates the efficiency of the YTRON. The quantity of powders incorporated is up to approx. 12.000 kg/h, depending on the powders used.

|
YTRON-Y ByPass system - Incorporation of free flowing powders without a tendency to stick of form lumps such as Silica, Active Carbon, HPMC, Cocoa, Flour, Carbon Black, can be drawn in below liquid level by the negative pressure created by the rotor/stator system. The venturi shaped stator and the negative pressure created by the flow it affects, draws the powder in, dispersing it instantly and homogeneously into the liquid. The formation of lumps is eliminated.
Certain powders with a low bulk density can be sucked directly and dust-free from a bag or other container.
Liquids such as S.L.E.S., concentrates, additives, and pastes can as well be pumped in via the YTRON-Y ByPass tube, directly into the turbulent zone in the YTRON-Y mixing head. They are then quickly and instantly diluted or dispersed into the batch. The mixing efficiency of YTRON-Y remains unchanged.

YTRON-Z is a powerful unit for dispersing, desagglomerating, emulsifying, wet grinding and homogenising in a single pass. The professional reactor head of YTRON-Z houses up to three rotor/stator sets, carrying each 3 slotted rows of teeth with different slot widths to allow for adaptation to the specific application. Even shear sensitive products such as Yoghurt and sour cream are treated gently. This has lead to the development of the yoghurt STRETCHING ® process which revolutionised the process of yoghurt production.
The use of YTRON-Z for YTRONising of liquid products lead to results fully comparable to the products formerly processed via high pressure homogenisers, in some cases the results got even better at a significantly reduced production cost.
The use of special, shear intense tooling in continuous processing allows for production of emulsions (O/W und W/O) with a very fine particle size distribution or, in suspensions, an efficient wet milling or desagglomeration process. YTRON-Z is used in Food Processing, Chemical Production, Cosmetic Industry and Pharmaceutical Industry.

| YTRON-ZC powder disperser. Instantly wetting and thorough dispersing of extremely difficult to wet powders and concentrations of 50% and more, leading to highest yields in viscosity. Only a single pass is required to achieve a perfecly wetted product. Typical products to be processed are difficult to wet thickeners and binders such as CMC, Guar, Locust Bean Gum, Alginates, Carrageenan, Pectin, Xanthan Gum as well as other polymers with a tendency to form lumps such as Polyacrylic Acids, Carbopol ® etc. The wide range of YTRON-ZC types ensures that specific requirements from lab size up to production size for incorporating of more than 5.000 kg/h of powders is possible using the standard production range. |
|
| YTRON-PID (Powder-Inject-Disperse). The thickener or gelling agents is drawn out of a hopper, BigBag or a silo into an injection chamber where it is pre-wetted by the liquid phase. This pre-wetting process is designed to occur without product hold-up. The forced passage through the rotor/stator system ensures a perfectly wetted out product. A pump installed downstream achieves a controlled discharge of the product. The tendency of powders to stick or form lumps on the contact surfaces of the powder/liquid injection chamber is totally eliminated during either continuous or short process intervals. Typical applications are: Alginate, Blanose ® Carbopol ®, all powdery MC or CMC types, Guar, Xanthan, Neutragel ®, Polyelectrolytes, etc. |

The Silverson AX range of High Shear Rotor/Stator professional mixers is designed to bridge the gap between laboratory scale mixing operations and larger production units. Ideal for pilot plants, research institutes and hospital pharmacies etc., AX models have a capacity of up to 50 litres, depending on product viscosity. A complete range of interchangeable workheads is available, allowing the user to match the unit’s mixing action to their process requirements. All AX range models can be supplied with a spring assisted adjustable bench stand.
The standard Model AXR is powered by a single phase motor, offering variable speed up to a maximum of 3500 rpm. All wetted parts are constructed in grade 316 stainless steel. The unit is finished in a tough, easy to clean, non-chip white nylon coating.
Increased power is offered by the AX3, which can be supplied with a range of 3 phase hoseproof, TEFV or ATEX approved Flameproof motors. With a maximum speed of up to 6000 rpm with an industrial inverter, the higher rotor tip speed makes the AX3 suitable for more heavy-duty applications including particle size reduction.
The AX/AIR is powered by an intrinsically safe manufacturer of air motor, designed for use in flameproof areas. This 0.33 kW unit also offers variable speed up to a maximum of 3000 rpm.
The AXV has an inverted workhead, which draws materials downwards into the workhead from the surface of the mix. This was developed to overcome the problems traditionally experienced with light powders which tend to float or “raft”. The increased surface movement also makes the AXV suitable for some higher viscosity products.

The Duplex is an immersion mixer which consists of two rotor/stator workheads mounted on a single shaft. The upper workhead is inverted so that it draws materials down from the surface of the mix and subjects them to an initial coarse disintegration. The lower workhead then draws this liquid and solid material upwards from the base of the vessel and provides further high shear processing. This system can rapidly reduce solids to a fine particle size, resulting in considerably faster disintegration and solubilisation. The improved product movement produced by the two workheads also makes the Duplex ideal for use on high viscosity materials and for incorporation of powders which tend to float and are difficult to wet out.
The Duplex was originally designed for rapid disintegration and solubilisation of solid rubbers and polymers for the luboil and professional adhesive industries. However, the considerable advantages offered by the system has led to its introduction into other applications, including in the food, chemical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. Duplex machines are available in a range of sizes from laboratory scale units up to the KDD, one of the largest immersion professional mixers in the Silverson range.
Typical applications include:
Rapid solution of rubbers and polymers into lubricating oils, solvents and bitumen
Disintegration and dissolving of solid resins into varnishes, professional inks and other coatings
Dispersion and blending of professional press cakes or professional filter cakes
Rapid incorporation of pigments and fillers
Recovery of waste sugar confectionery
Preparation of plant extracts
Disintegration of frozen meats, bone slurries, meat pastes/purées

Silverson offers a range of High Shear In-Line industrial mixers developed for the disintegration & solubilisation of polymers into bitumen for the production of modified bitumens. The cylindrical body walls are jacketed for oil heating, ensuring that the product cannot cool & solidify inside machines.
Because processing products that solidify when cold requires thorough heat saturation before start-up, the machines ensure heat reaches all areas where residue accumulates.
Sealing is by means of a graphite/carbon fibre gland packing, designed for operation on bitumens. Standard mechanical shaft seal rings are available according to the application. Like all Silverson units, interchangeable stators can adapt the machine for varying processes.
Modified bitumen production Polymers & rubbers such as SBS, APP, PVC, EVA & Butyl are blended with bitumen primarily used in the production of road surfaces & roofing felts. The polymers modify bitumen to improve its physical stability, flexibility & resistance to extreme temperatures.
Some polymers such as SBS are more difficult to dissolve/disperse & require high shear to achieve a satisfactory mixing time. Silverson Jacketed In-Line mixers attain this. The bitumen/polymer mix is recycled through the Silverson In-Line mixer where the high shear rotor/stator workhead rapidly disintegrates the polymer pieces. This high shear action exposes constantly increasing areas of fresh polymer to the surrounding bitumen, reducing the process time.
Typical applications: Polymer modified bitumen (production of modified road bitumen & roofing felts), Bitumen emulsions, Underseals & waterproofing compounds, Bitumen cable insulation |

For optimised particle size distribution: The Nebulasizer
The NARA Nebulasizer is designed to optimise the particle size distribution of soft granulates and extrudates. This standardization is possible both with wet and dry granulates.
During the process the oversized agglomerates will be reduced in their size and simultaneously fine-grained resp. dust particle are applied on bigger agglomerates. In one step the coarse particles are eliminated and the fine particles are agglomerated, but without an unwanted crushing. A following process step like sieving is not needed.
Because of his simple layout the machine is easy to clean, why the Nebulasizer is of interest for the pharmacy and the food processing industry in equal measure.
The GMP construction consists of a minimum of components with a highly polished surface that makes disassembling and cleaning in no time.
Besides the stainless-steel construction there is also an alternative for heavy industry available. This construction is able to convert building material like moulding compound or ceramics.
Nara’s especially developed innovative principle of comminution minimises the shearing strain of the particles, so that a crushing of particle size is not given.
Because of the screenless construction a breakage of the screen is out of the question.
The Nara Nebulasizer is now available as a milling tooling in the new generation of Nara-Pharmamills. It can be integrated perfectly into existing productions.
