High-shear dispersion system

rotor-statorbatchcontinuous-flow

Product overview
EmulXion vacuum-assisted powder induction and dispersion systems provide fast, dust-free powder incorporation, controlled wetting, rapid hydration and consistent dispersions for production environments. Systems generate a high-velocity, low-pressure induction zone that draws powders into the liquid stream; wetting occurs in the induction zone and the wetted material is immediately processed by inline high-shear rotor‑stator dispersers for complete incorporation.

Benefits

• Dust-free operation — enclosed vacuum-assisted induction prevents airborne powder, improving operator safety and housekeeping
• Controlled wetting — rapid, uniform powder wetting without clumping or fish-eyes
• Repeatable dispersions — high-shear processing breaks agglomerates and ensures consistent product quality
• Reduced processing time — hydration and dispersion occur in one pass, lowering batch times
• Scalable configurations — available from laboratory and pilot systems to full-scale production

How it works

• Powder induction — powder is drawn into the liquid stream under vacuum into a localized induction zone
• Instant wetting — powders contact liquid in the induction zone and are rapidly wetted without floating or clumping
• High-shear dispersion — wetted powder is processed through an inline rotor‑stator to de-agglomerate and disperse
• Consistent output — uniform, fully dispersed product ready for downstream processing or final formulation

Equipment families / Configurations

• Stand-alone powder induction units — compact, enclosed systems for dust-free powder incorporation
• Powder induction with inline high-shear mixers — rapid induction and dispersion in continuous-flow designs

FAQ (selected)

• Q: How does vacuum-assisted powder induction work? A: Liquid flow through a rotor‑stator assembly creates a localized low-pressure zone at the powder inlet; powder is drawn into the high-energy shear zone where wetting, de-agglomeration, hydration and dispersion occur simultaneously before powder can float or clump.
• Q: What problems does a powder induction system solve? A: Eliminates floating powders, excessive dusting, fish-eyes and inconsistent hydration; provides immediate wetting, complete dispersion, consistent hydration and improved operator safety.
• Q: Which powders can be inducted? A: A wide range including gums, stabilizers, proteins, starches, sweeteners, thickeners, salts, flavors, pigments, fumed silica and other fine, difficult-to-wet powders.
• Q: Can powder induction integrate with existing tanks? A: Yes — systems install as inline loops on new or existing vessels and can be supplied as complete skids with hopper or bag-dump stations, flow control, instrumentation and automation.
• Q: How much faster is powder induction than conventional mixing? A: Because wetting, hydration and dispersion happen in one pass through the shear zone rather than long tank recirculation, hydration times are often reduced from hours to minutes for many gum and stabilizer systems.
