Powder handling and dispersing
The ystral Conti-TDS is a machine for the dust-free induction, wetting and dispersing of powders into a liquid.
It is designed according to the rotor-stator-principle and creates the required vacuum to induct the powder into the shear zone of the dispersed and highly accelerated liquid stream by itself.
Different to other ystral TDS-machines, the machine is not installed into but placed outside of the respective vessel.
With this set-up all the energy is converted to wetting and dispersing energy into a very small volume in the mixing head.
Same as all other TDS-machines, this system offers the following advantages:
- Dust-free handling without any loss of powder, no decanting, no exhaust systems, no filter systems are required
- Direct induction from bags, silo, BigBag or powder container
- Immediate and complete wetting, directly into the liquid stream, no partially wetted crust at the wall of the vessel and/or the mixing shaft
- Higher degree of dispersion compared to conventional mixing and dispersing principles
- Even liquids and gases may be inducted
- CIP-cleaning without disassembly
Set-up and Installation
- Liquid and powder enter the mixing chamber from different sides. They are dispersed in a rotor-stator-system and leave the mixing chamber completely wetted and dispersed through the liquid outlet of the chamber.
- The machine may either be placed in a horizontal or in a vertical position
- The machine is mainly operated as an inline system attached to a vessel. Another option is to already induct powder while filling the vessel
- The Conti-TDS is not self-priming and requires some static pressure at the inlet of the mixing chamber (static filling level or a pressurising pump)
- Best induction results can be achieved by installing the induction machine as close as possible to the vessel
- The angle between product inlet and product outlet is variable. It is very easy to adapt the system into existing installations.
