| OBJECT: |
Predisperse 50% by weight Dimethyl Urea (flakes up to 1/4" - LINURON) in water/0.5% VEEGUM for flowable herbicide. |
|
PROBLEM: |
Existing process uses disperser in pre-mix tank and colloid mill to reduce particle size. Very slow and very high maintenance costs. |
|
RESULT: |
Reversible Homogenizer performed dispersion in 30% less time. Maintenance costs reduced by 90%. Did both mixing and pregrinding to minus 100 microns. |
|
AB MIXER: |
Model C-3-3 in 1,000 gallon cone bottom vessel. |
|
EQUIPMENT REPLACED: |
Sawblade disperser in pre-mix tank and colloid mill. |
