| OBJECT: | Disperse ceramic colored glaze powders into water to coat large electric power line insulators. |
PROBLEM: | Ceramic powders must be fully dispersed requiring high shear mixing, but ceramics are hard enough to cause abrasive wear on stainless steel surfaces of rotor and stator. |
RESULT: | Excellent dispersion below 25 microns in 100, 200 and 300 gallon batches. |
AB MIXER: | Model C-2-1 http://www.arde-barinco.com/Model-C-2-1-33-Immersion--C224.aspx and C-2-3 http://www.arde-barinco.com/Model-C-2-3-60-Immersion--C241.aspx Reversible Homogenizers equipped with abrasion resistant packages including 17-4 PH hardened rotor, stellite bearing and protective shaft sleeve and cover nut to protect shaft end threads. |
| Benefit: | Excellent dispersion in shortest time with long (MTBM) maintenance interval. |
EQUIPMENT REPLACED: | High speed disperser mixers that required higher horsepower, longer mix times and lost impellers due to abrasive wear. |
