Dispersitron
Continuous Operation
Liquids and solids/powders are metered into an agitated feed tank; after initial mixing the suspension is fed (by either gravity or a transfer pump) through the RH Dispersitron unit that may be configured either as single or dual series in-line arrangement; either within a recirculatory (for difficult to process materials) or flow-through mode.
The RH Dispersitron is available in a variety of designs from simple, chemical duty design through to high-end sanitary design for use within the pharmaceutical and bio-chemical industries requiring the highest degree of cleanliness and cleanability.
In standard configuration the units have a design pressure of 10bar g to permit operation within a pressurised process stream.
Batch Process
For intense mixing or difficult to mix products, recirculation allows a residence time which allows complete ingredient dissolution.
