The Turbo mixer is specifically designed for the efficient mixing, homogenising and volume dispersing of powders in liquid media, particularly where effective solids wetting and fine dispersion are required at comparatively low energy input levels.
With its height adjustable dispersion disc and mixer scraper the Turbo mixer is especially suitable for dispersing temperature sensitive materials like colour additives in paint or PVC compounds.
The Turbo mixer can handle viscous liquids up to 25.000 cP at solid contents up to ± 80%. The mixer is designed and manufactured according to PED guidelines for full vacuum and pressures up to 6 bar.
All turbo-mixers can be executed with the option whereby light pigments and additives can be drawn into the vessel below the liquid surface to achieve good wetting out coupled with minimum dispersion times. Examples of their application are in the manufacture of paint and lacquers, polymers, printing inks, adhesives, resins, coatings and other viscous products.
Important features:
Closed system
suitable for full vacuum and over pressure
Low energy input levels.
Automatic height adjustment of dispersion disc
Conical execution for variable batch sizes
Heating- or cooling jackets available.
High dispersion efficiency
Minimum dispersion time
Capacities from 500 up to 10.000 litres
High dispersion quality
The standard Turbo mixer is fitted with a centrally mounted static, high speed dispersion disc with fixed diameter and a slow speed, mixer scraper to prevent build up of product on the vessel wall and to provide secondary mixing of the product, thereby complimenting the main dispersion disc. This combination will give you an effective mixing result with low energy input levels.

“Raise and Lower” device
A further, optional, feature is the “Raise and Lower” device. The control can be automatically set via a microprocessor which continually searches for the highest shear absorbed by the main drive motor. The combined action of these 3 features: main disc, mixer scraper and height adjustment create a high dispersion quality.
