Equipment Guidance
The SDF550 Laboratory Disperser For Paints/Coatings handles high-shear dispersion and homogenisation. It is used for Architectural Paints, Industrial Coatings, Printing Inks, normally ahead of milling or filling.
It handles viscosity up to up to approximately 25,000 cP. Product-contact parts are Stainless steel 304 / 316L.
The sawtooth or rotor-stator head breaks agglomerates and wets out powder into the liquid phase. Final dispersion quality is confirmed by a material trial.
Capacity is 1 - 30 L with motor power 0. Models cover batch and in-line duties depending on the process route.
Batch dispersion suits multiple products and frequent changes; in-line dispersion suits continuous or high-volume single products. POLYC recommends after reviewing your route.
Industry Applications
