K-Super Reactor® inline & circulation dispersing machines (Horizontal system)
For years K-Super Reactor® has been synonymous with high performance dispersing machines in process engineering circles.
The development of these machines is based on Prof. Willem's discovery
of the effects of mechanical high frequencies on stator-rotor systems with
high peripheral velocities. After proving in the chemical industry: the range of
applications has been expanded to include other areas.
Reasons for the wide spectrum of applications are not only to be found in the
excellent dispersing performance of K-Super Reactor® machines, but rather
also the rugged, mature design and minimal power consumption of the drive
system, which assures highly cost effective operation. The fine dispersions
which have been achieved with these machines are the result of complex
interaction between several fragmentation mechanisms, whereby the turbulent
forces at the shear gap also make a decisive contribution.
3-dimensional, local, time phased velocity fluctuations occur to this end,
which are coupled with high frequency pressure fluctuations.
Individual geometric layout of the stator-rotor design (generators) make the
K-Super Reactor® machines adaptable to any process goal.
Thus the applications range of K-Super Reactor® machines covers the
entire spectrum of dispersion technology. It includes the production of
emulsions, (liquid-liquid), suspensions (solid-liquid) and Iyosols (gas-liquid), as
well as homogenization. Because the intensity of mass transfer is increased
by forces caused by the rotor-stator system, the dissolving of mono, as well as
macromolecular materials is accelerated.
If a reliable recommendation concerning the selection of a machine is
not possible despite extensive practical experience, we will determine the
requirements for correct dimensioning of K-Super Reactor® machines in our
technical applications department.
Practical Tips:
• The nominal throughput volume is reduced by about 20% per approx 1,000 mPas (rule of thumb).
• Thus a pump is required at the inlet side as of about 3,000 mPas.
• The pump should be as pulsation-free as possible.
• When a pump is used, motor power consumption from the K-Super Reactor® must be taken into consideration.
• Observe temperature carefully for small throughput volumes; consider installing a pump at the inlet side and increasing throughput.
