Product Overview
A high-speed disperser, also known as a high-speed mixer or high-speed agitator, is a type of equipment used in various industries for mixing, dispersing, and homogenizing materials. It is designed for robust and efficient mixing, making it ideal for applications where thorough dispersion and rapid mixing are required.

Key Characteristics

• High-speed operation: Operates at high rotational speeds, typically ranging from 500 to 5000 revolutions per minute (RPM). This high-speed rotation generates strong mechanical forces, facilitating efficient mixing and dispersion.
• Motor power: Equipped with powerful electric motors to drive the mixing shaft and agitator blades. Motor power varies depending on the size and application, ranging from a few horsepower to several dozen horsepower.
• Agitator blade design: Features a vertical shaft with an agitator blade or impeller attached at the bottom. Common blade types include saw-tooth blades, cowles blades, and propeller blades, all designed to create high shear forces and turbulence for effective dispersion and mixing.
• Adjustable height: Includes an adjustable shaft height mechanism, allowing operators to raise or lower the agitator blade to accommodate different batch sizes and vessel heights.
• Vessel support: Can be mounted on various types of vessels such as tanks, drums, or containers, with clamps or other mechanisms to securely hold the disperser in place during operation.
• Speed control: Offers speed control options, enabling operators to adjust the rotational speed of the agitator blade for precise control over the mixing process and optimization for different materials and applications.
• Materials of construction: Typically constructed from materials resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions, such as stainless steel, carbon steel with suitable coatings, and sometimes specialized alloys or composite materials.
• Safety features: Incorporates safety features like motor overload protection, emergency stop buttons, and guarding to prevent accidental contact with rotating parts.
• Versatility: Used in a wide range of industries including paint and coatings, chemicals, adhesives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Capable of handling various viscosities and dispersing solids into liquids or creating homogeneous mixtures.
