| OBJECT: |
Complete dispersion, deaeration and defoaming of Methocel (HPMC) in water for suspension polymerization. |
|
PROBLEM: |
1% concentration prepared in 3,000 gallon batches with axial flow turbine requires 24 hour preparation time to allow complete dispersion with minimum foam. |
|
SOLUTIONS: |
Model D-6000 Vacuum Dispershear installed above 1200 gallon batch reactor. |
|
AB MIXER: |
Model D-6000 Vacuum Dispershear |
| BENEFITS: |
Vacuum Dispershear prepared 2.5% Methocel/water in 1200 gallon batch in one hour without foam or aeration. |
