Why High Speed Dispersers Are Revolutionizing Paint Production

The manufacturing of paint was a time consuming, labor intensive process that is decades old. It frequently entailed heavy roll milling and extensive mix cycles to get the fine dispersion necessary to the color strength and consistency. The situation today has been transformed drastically. The high speed disperser lies at the centre of this transformation. Shanghai Rumi Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. as an expert in mixing equipment, every day they witness the benefit of this workhorse machine in making production easier and manufacturing quality paint to the global paint manufacturing companies.

Between Simple Mixing and Intense Dispersion

It is not simply a matter of combining ingredients together to create a great paint, but rather a matter of ensuring that the pigment particles are completely moist and that the agglomerates are dispersed to form a stable uniform suspension. A typical agitator is just not able to provide the required force.

A high speed disperser uses a specially designed blade (usually referred to as an impeller) to generate a strong flow pattern. The rotation of the blade with tip speeds that can normally go into the tens of meters per second, forms a vacuum sucking materials into the blade zone. The high hydraulic shear rate that develops in that location causes clusters of pigment to separate and causes the solvents and binder to settle on individual particles. It is no longer a process that requires hours and now it can be accomplished in a fraction of a time.

The main Advantages to Contemporary Painting Strips

1. Massively Shortened Cycle Times: The speed of dispersion is unbelievably high with high speed. It is able to perform premix and dispersion steps in a short amount of time, boosting your batch production without putting on more floor space.

2. Best Pigment Development: With full dispersion of pigments to the ideal size of the particle, the disperser releases the maximum color power and concealing ability of pigments. This implies that you can get quality equal with a possible lower amount of pigment, which will lower the cost of raw materials.

3. Excellent Batch-to-Batch Consistency: The high and consistent shear field of well-designed disperser provides that each batch is of the same high standards. It is important to repeat the same so that your brand will be associated with quality.

The Tank to the Can: The Ultimate Solution

At Rumi, we are aware that a paint plant is a system that is interrelated. The star of the show is the high speed disperser, which performs well when it is a well-designed production line.

Feeding the Process: The productivity of this process is maximized when combined with our liquid and powder storage/batching systems, providing the consistency of automated addition of ingredients.

Post-Dispersion Processing: The dispersed mill base may then be pumped to a mill where it can be further refined to a fine particle, or may be pumped into a filling machine in case it is a finished product.

Resin Integration: To create more complex resin-based paints, the disperser may be attached to a stainless steel reactors or mix tank and you can now coat the resin cooking, dispersion and letdown in a single vessel.

The high speed disperser has indeed brought a revolution in the production of paints as it has made the production process quicker, efficient and more manageable. It is a credit to the way the dispersing equipment of the right may revolutionize an industry.
