Customer challenge
A representative solvent-based coatings line required rapid powder incorporation and reliable dispersion while meeting site hazardous-area requirements. The process also needed a safer approach to vessel handling, static control, and material transfer.
POLYC MACHINE solution
POLYC MACHINE configured a double-shaft high-speed disperser around the material viscosity and required shear level, with explosion-proof electrical options, grounding provisions, vessel handling, and controls reviewed against the plant classification.
Typical implementation results
- High- and low-speed agitation can be coordinated for powder wetting and final viscosity.
- Safety features are specified as a system with transfer, ventilation, and controls.
- Process reviews focus on the site classification and local compliance requirements.
Important: This representative application is not a substitute for a site-specific hazardous-area assessment.
