If
your production line requires a sanitary mixing device
which promotes intense vortex control, superior wetting
out of powders and an easy-to-clean head design that meets
3-A requirements, the Rotosolver disperser may be the
solution. The Rotosolver is a top-entry mount high shear
mixer with the following advantages:
- High-Intensity Optimum
Shear
- One Piece Clean-in-Place
Mix Head
- Meets 3-A Standard #73-00
- Meets USDA-AMS and USDA-Dairy
Requirements
- Single Shaft, Obstruction
Free Design
- All Stainless Mix Head,
Shaft, Drive and Motor available
- 100% Dissolving, Hydrating
or Suspension
- Lab Models and Production
Sizes up to 100 HP
How It Works
The
Rotosolver combines the shearing capabilities of a high
speed toothed rotor and a slotted stator with the additional
advantage of high flow / circulation from the dual rotor
blades. This unique mixing head design provides a four-stage
mixing action:
1.
Product flow is drawn into the mixing head from above
and below. All materials are immediately mechanically
ripped by the teeth on the rotors at the top and bottom
of the stator.
2.
The two high-velocity, counter-current streams converge
within the stator causing high turbulence and hydraulic
shear, without momentum loss from obstructions within
the stator.
3.
Centrifugal pressure forces material to the periphery
of the stator where it is subjected to further mechanical
shear as material passes through the sharpened edges.
4.
The high velocity radial discharge combines with slower
moving tank flow for additonal hydraulic shear and circulation.
