Process Engineering
Working Principle
- 1
One or more shafts combine high-speed dispersion with low-speed bulk circulation inside a jacketed vessel.
- 2
The high-speed tool wets and disperses solids while the low-speed agitator maintains uniform turnover.
- 3
Optional vacuum, heating, cooling, weighing, and PLC control coordinate the complete batch sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mixing duties is the Multi Function Dispersing Kettle designed for?
The Multi Function Dispersing Kettle is built for Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Food. It is selected when the batch has to be blended homogeneously without the shear damage a disperser would cause.
What viscosity range can it handle?
It works up to up to approximately 100,000 cP depending on agitator. Product-contact parts are Stainless steel 304 / 316L.
How is mixing uniformity achieved?
The agitator geometry keeps the whole batch moving rather than only the zone around the shaft, so colour, filler and additive distribution stay consistent from batch to batch.
What capacity range is available?
Capacity is 100 - 5,000 L, with motor power 4 - 75 kW. Vessel size is matched to the batch and the available floor space.
What discharge and cleaning options are available?
Bottom discharge, side discharge and hydraulic discharge arrangements are offered, with vacuum and jacket options where the formulation requires them.
