The NETZSCH Epsilon 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 of the NETZSCH Epsilon 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.
The resulting advantages are:
Minimal product heating
Lowest input of shear forces
Deareation of the product after the solid intake
Insensitive to small foreign objects
High availability Application Fields:
Shear-sensitive products
Temperature-sensitive products
For products that require dispersion with more energy, the NETZSCH Epsilon 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 deagglomeration of powders that are difficult to disperse.
The Advantages of the Rotor-Stator Version:
More intensive dispersion of agglomerates that are difficult to disperse
Shorter dispersion time
Application Fields:
Solids that are difficult to disperse
Shear-insensitive products
