CASE NO: 508
| MATERIAL: |
Agricultural flowable, Herbicide. |
|
PROBLEM: |
Premix and disperse flowable to 100% minus 100 mesh. Avoid settling and plugging in subsequent fine grinding step. |
|
RESULT: |
Recirculates mix at 100 gpm. Dispersion and particle reduction completed in 2-3 hours. |
|
AB MIXER: |
Model 6 x 3, toothed impeller/liner, 30 HP, 3600 RPM, 1/8" grid. Installed in recirculation loop to 5,000 gallon mixing tank. |
| BENEFITS |
1. Batch time reduced by 50% (2-3 hours instead of 4-6 hours).
2. Solid settling and plugging problems eliminated
3. 2 deg. F rise across the Dicon. This totals 4 deg. F rise in the
5,000 gallon batch after 2-3 hours of recirculation.
4. Premix step is prior to a final grinding to 10 microns in an Attritor. |
