Platform High Speed Disperser (PSD Series)
Platform High Speed Disperser (PSD Series): PSD Platform High Speed Disperser: Heavy-Duty Dissolving on Steel Mezzanine Platforms. Capacity range 600 - 6,000 L. Typical applications: Architectural Paints, Industrial Coatings, Printing Inks, Pigment Pastes, Construction Chemicals.
PSD Platform High Speed Disperser: Heavy-Duty Dissolving on Steel Mezzanine Platforms
The POLYC PSD Platform High Speed Disperser is a heavy-duty dissolving and pre-mixing system engineered for structural mounting on steel mezzanine platforms or factory ceilings. A single central disperser head can serve multiple stationary tanks in sequence through a 360-degree electric slewing mechanism, so large-batch paint, coating, ink and chemical production runs on one machine instead of several. Standard models handle 600-6,000 L batches; custom configurations reach 15,000 L, with hydraulic lifting and remote control for safe platform-level operation.

In furniture and joinery plants the PSD runs as a wood coating mixer for nitrocellulose, waterborne and PU lacquer batches where consistent blending matters more than high shear, and as a protective coatings mixer for industrial wood and metal finishes. In large paint plants with fixed vessel positions it also serves as a latex paint disperser and an emulsion paint disperser for high-volume base grinding.
Description
How it works
The POLYC PSD Platform High Speed Disperser is engineered for large-batch paint, coating, ink and chemical production. Mounted on a steel mezzanine or ceiling, it dissolves and pre-mixes formulations while saving valuable floor space.
With platform or ceiling installation and optional 360-degree electric slewing, one central disperser head services multiple stationary tanks in sequence, maximising equipment use and reducing capital investment. A hydraulic lift and height-adjustable Cowles disc keep dispersion performance consistent across batch volumes.
A remote control station supports safe platform-level operation, and heavy-duty construction sustains continuous duty up to 15,000 L. Custom configurations for explosion-proof, vacuum-sealed and sanitary processing are available, with POLYC direct manufacturing supporting 30-45 day delivery.

Process Engineering
Working Principle
- 1
The high-speed motor drives a toothed Cowles disc rotating at up to 1,450 rpm, creating intense shear and turbulence in the material.
- 2
The rotating disc generates a strong vortex that draws material from the vessel walls downward through the disc, ensuring continuous circulation and uniform dispersion.
- 3
Hydraulic lifting system raises and lowers the disperser shaft, allowing the disc to be positioned at optimal depth for different batch volumes and enabling tank access for cleaning.
- 4
In multi-tank slewing configurations, the entire disperser head rotates 360 degrees electrically to position over successive tanks, eliminating the need for multiple disperser units.

Equipment Guidance
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a platform high-speed disperser?
A platform high-speed disperser, or PSD series, is a heavy-duty dissolver mounted on a steel mezzanine or ceiling. A single central head can service multiple stationary tanks in sequence through 360-degree electric slewing, so large-batch paint, coating, ink and chemical production runs on one machine instead of several.
Platform disperser vs standard single-tank disperser - when should I choose platform?
Choose a platform disperser when you run multiple formulations in sequence at plant scale. One slewing head serving several tanks maximises equipment use and cuts capital cost, while a standard single-tank disperser suits lower-volume or single-product lines.
What capacity and power does the PSD series cover?
Standard PSD models handle 600-6,000 L batches with 18.5-90 kW motor power, and custom configurations reach 15,000 L with up to 312 kW. The structured working capacity is rated 600-5,000 L with motor power 18.5-90 kW.
How does multi-tank slewing improve production?
The entire disperser head rotates electrically up to 360 degrees to position over successive tanks, eliminating the need for multiple disperser units and shortening changeover between batches.
What tip speed and viscosity can the PSD handle?
Tip speed reaches up to 24 m/s for efficient pigment wetting and deagglomeration, processing viscosities up to approximately 30,000 cP.
Is the platform disperser available with explosion-proof or vacuum options?
Yes. Custom configurations for explosion-proof certification, vacuum-sealed operation and sanitary SS304 / SS316L processing are available depending on material and regulatory requirements.
What structural and installation factors should I plan for?
Platform load calculations and ceiling structural requirements must be confirmed before installation; POLYC engineers provide consultation for platform load and slewing layout planning, and motor voltage and frequency can be matched to the target market.
How do I select the right PSD model?
Select by batch capacity, viscosity and throughput: PSD18.5/22/30 for 600-2,000 L, PSD37/45 for 1,000-3,000 L, and PSD55/75/90 for 3,000-6,000 L, then decide single-tank or multi-tank slewing and confirm safety and metallurgy requirements.

What manufacturers say about working with POLYC MACHINE
These summaries reflect published application cases. Company names and roles are representative of the industries we serve.
“
The plaster and wall-material production line supplied by POLYC MACHINE integrated premixing, milling and transfer in one compact route. We reached consistent fineness across batches, and the local technical line made after-sales support responsive.
“
For our short gravure-ink runs, the small-batch grinding and dispersion route from POLYC MACHINE gave repeatable colour and fast changeover. The trial plan proposed before manufacture confirmed our fineness window without over-specifying the machine.
“
Our 1000L basket mill from POLYC MACHINE handles pigment and ink batches with the temperature control we needed for heat-sensitive formulations. Across multiple sites, the consistent basket-mill configuration simplified operator training and spare-parts planning.
