High Speed Disperser Components
High Speed Disperser Working Principle
About Dispersing Disc | |
1. Too Slow | A dispersing disc that spins too slowly will result in long dispersion times and possibly material settling. Good dispersion speed is between 4000 - 6000 fpm. Shaft rpm x .262 x disc diameter (in inches). |
2. Too Fast | Faster is not always better regarding disc speed. Going too fast will result in air in the product, excess heat build-up and low quality dispersion. |
3. Too Small | A disc that is too small for the tank will not get good product movement and some settling of solids will occur in addition to longer dispersion times. |
4. Too Big | A disc that is too big for the tank will not get good product movement and will put air into the product. |
5. Too Low | Dispersing disc that is too low in the tank will decrease product flow and create dead spots that will not be dispersed. |
6. Too High | Dispersing disc that is too high in the tank will cause flow to the bottom of the tank to be decreased, and will allow some solids to settle and not get dispersed. This also introduces air into the mix. |
7. Off Center | If the tank is too big for the high speed disperser and the disc is off center, it is difficult to get a good dispersion, although there are times when it is advantageous to have the disc slightly off center. To minimize the vortex in the tank with a lift mounted disperser, move the disc 1/2 to 1 disc diameter off center (with the machine off). |
