Introduction
Dispersion machines are integral to industries that require uniform particle distribution in liquids or solids. These machines play a critical role in chemical, paint, ink, and food processing industries, among others. Understanding how dispersion machines work aids in selecting the right equipment for specific applications.
Principles of Dispersion Machines
Dispersion machines operate on the principle of breaking down agglomerates into finer particles for homogeneous distribution. The process involves three primary actions: wetting, mechanical breakdown, and stabilization.
Working Mechanism
The core component of a dispersion machine is the rotor-stator assembly, where the rotor rotates at high speeds within a stationary stator. This action creates hydraulic shear and imparts kinetic energy to the medium, leading to particle size reduction and uniform distribution.
Critical Parameters in the Dispersion Process
- Shear Rate: Effective dispersion is achieved at shear rates ranging from 10,000 to 25,000 s-1.
- Rotational Speed: Typically, speeds vary between 1,000 and 10,000 RPM, depending on the viscosity of the medium.
- Temperature Control: Optimal dispersion requires maintaining temperatures between 20°C to 80°C to prevent thermal degradation.
- Viscosity: The process suits viscosities up to 50,000 mPa·s, beyond which alternative methods may be necessary.
