Mix Scale is used to quantify the mixing intensity needed for a given process as well as provide a frame of reference for mixing scale-up.

Blade Style, diameter, the material of construction, wear treatments need to be considered when ordering a dispersion baldes.  

Tanks are available in all shapes and sizes and fabricated out of a wide variety of materials. We offer small tanks for laboratory use through large storage tanks. Tank Designer calculates the volume of vertical and horizontal tanks allowing for different head types including dished, coned, and sloped bottom tanks.

Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps are a common meany of supply material to Net Weight Fillers.  Proper plumbing is important to insure consistent fills.  

Review of the function and operation of planetary-centrifugal mixers. Published July 2010, Adhesives and Sealants Industry Magazine.

In 1967, the NFPA Technical Committee on Electrical Equipment in Chemical Atmospheres established recommended practices, entitled "NFPA 496 - Purged and Pressurized Enclosures for Electrical Equipment." Since then, the NFPA has expanded its document by adding recommendations for enclosure ventilation and dilution.

Today’s modern chemical facilities often contain both flammable gases and ignitable dust, which pose explosion risks. To prevent explosions from happening in harsh environments whereby flammable gases or combustible dusts are present directives and guidelines are put in place to protect both the public, workforce, and environment.

The need to place general-purpose equipment in hazardous (classified) locations is not new, yet in the last three decades, the need has grown dramatically.

Our new Website is up and running. A new server, updated database, and programming extensions allow us to offer significantly faster performance and better reliability.

Cleaning Process tanks used in the manufacture of high viscosity products and products that are not dissolved by the cleaning solution is a huge challenge facing manufacturing. Washing your tanks is not a simple feat. In many plants, this duty falls to the least experienced operators and involves; rags, scrapers, solvents, and TIME.

The Theoretical Spread Rate or coverage of a coating is a function of the coating's solids content. This value is useful in comparing coatings systems. In actual applications, there are losses. The practical spreading rate accounts for these losses. Losses result from application technique, losses to wind and environment, application equipment, and type of the substrate to be coated and substrate surface profile.

Due to the high tip speed of the dispersion blade, dispersion blades are subject to wear. Depending on formulations this wear can be severe. DisperseTech offers several wear treatments.
