YTRON-ZC Powder Disperser – Efficient Powder Dispersion with Minimal Energy Consumption
Did you know that YTRON machines require significantly less power than many competitors? Our inline powder dispersers, in particular, operate with less than half the usual power consumption – without compromising performance.
Why is the YTRON-ZC Powder Disperser so efficient?
Our unique technology is the key: YTRON dispersers deliver optimal dry material distribution without relying on maximum pumping power. In contrast, inline dispersers with integrated shear pumps often struggle with powder incorporation, particularly at higher viscosities.
YTRON helps you save time and energy every hour of production – day in, day out. The payoff is clear.
Optimized Powder Wetting for Best Results
Powder intake is driven by strong vacuum in the ZC reactor, causing the dry materials to disperse and wet immediately upon contact with the liquid phase. This process is completed before the powder is fully hydrated.
Thanks to the extremely short shear exposure, the product is treated very gently. Even shear-sensitive thickeners and gelling agents achieve maximum viscosity in a single pass.
Rely on the YTRON-ZC powder disperser for top efficiency, minimal energy use, and exceptional dispersion results!

Top Benefits of the YTRON-ZC
- Efficient Powder Wetting: Even hard-to-wet powders are fully dispersed in a single pass.
- Optimal Viscosity Control: Targeted shear creates the STRETCHING® effect, increasing viscosity through a special mechanism.
- Air-Free Processing: Minimal air inclusion prevents foaming and oxidation of the product.
- Maximum Efficiency: Reduced process time thanks to rapid and intensive powder dispersion.
- Cost Savings: Lower material usage due to highly efficient powder processing.
- Fast Further Processing: Perfect dispersion with minimal soaking time.
The YTRON-ZC powder disperser separates dispersing and pumping power, making the dispersion process both reproducible and economical. Only a small portion of the energy input is used for pumping – the majority is devoted to intensive dispersion and wetting of the dry materials in the liquid phase. Combined with the optimal pump for the liquid phase, this achieves high efficiency. Centrifugal pumps are used for low viscosities, while positive displacement pumps are employed for higher viscosities.
In the high-viscosity range, up to 80% of energy can be saved compared to conventional methods. The dispersion process delivers reproducible results in a single pass. The product is homogenously and uniformly dispersed without requiring additional flow to bypass the dispersing tools.
Common Use Cases for the YTRON-ZC
The YTRON-ZC disperser is ideal for processing difficult-to-disperse substances such as thickeners, binders, stabilizers, and gelling agents. These include, among others:
- MC
- CMC
- HPMC
- Guar
- Carob bean gum
- Pectin
- Agar-agar
- Alginates
- Starches
- Carrageenans
- Xanthan
- Milk and whey proteins
- Polymers such as polyacrylic acids and Carbopol
In a special configuration, the YTRON-ZC is also suitable for high dry matter content in a single pass or under recirculation – for example, for silicates and binders in high-viscosity liquids such as sugar syrup or chocolate mass.
Special Feature: For most products, a single pass through the YTRON-ZC is sufficient to achieve an agglomerate-free product. This makes the process particularly suitable for shear-sensitive materials. Even with multiple passes, the shear effect remains reproducible.
YTRON-ContiCone – Precise Inline Powder Dispersion with High Control Accuracy
The YTRON-ContiCone disperser is an advanced development of the proven YTRON-ZC powder disperser, enabling the immediate dispersion of a defined amount of powder with controlled liquid flow.
The ContiCone technology offers high control accuracy and allows continuous inline dispersion at concentrations of up to 50% or higher. Its closed design minimizes dust in the production area, ensuring clean and efficient processing. This technology can be combined with all common powder dosing systems and is suitable for almost all low-viscosity liquids.
Typical applications include the food industry, cosmetics, and chemical processes where precise and uniform dispersion is required.
YTRON-ZC Powder Feeding Table – Efficient Dispersion Without Agglomerates
The YTRON-ZC disperser with powder feeding table simplifies the addition of dry materials thanks to its low construction height. Bags can be placed on the table during addition, providing an operator-friendly and ergonomic workflow.
The compact design is available in various configurations, making it ideal for the food and chemical industries.
YTRON-ZC ViscoTron – Efficient Dispersion at High Viscosities
The YTRON-ZC ViscoTron was specifically developed for applications with high viscosities and high dry matter content. By combining the proven YTRON-ZC technology with a positive displacement pump at both the inlet and outlet, a stable process is achieved even at high viscosity.
Thanks to the vacuum generated at the powder inlet, the YTRON-ZC ViscoTron can be easily fed using a suction lance – ideal for efficient and low-dust processing.
