Dispersion
In mechanical process engineering, dispersion refers to the breaking down of agglomerated solids, usually powder, into fine particles and their subsequent distribution in another medium (liquid or gas). When particles or materials are “agglomerated”, this means that they have come together to form larger groups or clumps.
The aim of dispersion is to achieve a uniform mixture of the particles, to reduce the size of the particles or to increase the reaction speed by increasing the particle surface. In this context, dispersing machines are often important because they are used to achieve dispersion through the application of shear forces, stretch forces or other techniques.
Dispersion is an important process in many industrial applications. These include the production of paints, varnishes, pharmaceuticals, yogurt, baby and other foodstuffs plus many other products.
YTRON-XC - Energy efficiency through YTRON technology
Our YTRON-XC powder dissolving system, specifically developed for dispersing dry materials, is a prime example of our commitment to energy efficiency. Compared to some of our competitors' machines, our InLine powder dispersing machines only require half the connected load. The key is to separate the pumping action from the dispersing action. This process usually saves time and money.
Own pumping effect
The downstream pump wheel supports the discharge of the dispersion.

Agglomerated powder? No problem with YTRON-XC
One of the biggest challenges when dispersing powders is their tendency to clump or stick together. YTRON offers you the option of introducing various dry substances inline and dispersing them in one pass. As a rule, the special rotor/stator technology prevents lump formation and eliminates agglomeration.
The dispersion process: efficient and gentle
Our powder dissolving system works in two stages for optimal results. In the first stage, the reactor creates a strong negative pressure and sucks in the dry substances. Immediately after contact with the liquid phase, these are thrown against the baffle plates of the stator and finely dispersed or deagglomerated by high-frequency impact. The effective dispersion with low input of shear forces ensures that the product properties are retained. In the second stage, the already homogeneous, wetted product is discharged without any problems.
