Processes
Dispersing
During a dispersing process,
solid particles or droplets have
to be reduced to a defined size.
The correct adjustment between dispersing machine and
product to be treated is very
important. ystral dispersing
machines offer a variety of
tools to allow this adjustment.

Mixing
Homogenous mixing means
uniformity of the entire
contents of a vessel. The
ystral Jetstream mixer works
according to the principle of
vertical mixing without
induction of air. The Jetstream
mixer offers the necessary
flow for suspending heavy
sediments, but without causing
a vortex.

Mixing and dispersing

If a processing task requires
not only homogenous mixing
but also simultaneous
dispersing, then we talk about
mixing and dispersing. Under
the name DISPERMIX, ystral
has developed a machine
that ideally combines the
benefits of a Jetstream mixer
and a batch disperser.

Powder wetting
Another special field for
ystral. Powder induction,
powder wetting and de-agglomeration the ystral machine
development offers excellent
results and a high potential of
rationalising.

Jetstream mixer
The predominant mixing principle
Function:
A fast rotating rotor creates a

is directed towards the bottom
of a tank or a vessel. At the
vessel bottom, the stream is
diverted and forms a stream
upwards on the wall of the
vessel.

hout strong turbulences and

homogeneously distributed in
the medium. Jetstream mixers
reduce the energy input to
the product. Up to 90% of the
energy is transferred directly
into vertical product motion.

Principles:
Turbulences in the mixing head
and a strong vertical circulation are conditions for optimal
mixing of the entire contents
of a vessel or a tank. Only
the principle of a Jetstream
mixer provides a balanced
relationship between a micro
and macro mixing action.

Technology:
Highest quality materials
guarantee fault-free operation.
Motor and mixing shaft
are assembled separately.
Rotating parts are protected
against accidental contact.
Optional modular design offers
an ideal and individual adaptation to the mixing process.
Jetstream mixers can be used
under pressure or vacuum in a
vessel or tank. The mixers can
be fitted from top, from the
bottom or to the side of a
vessel. A variety of different
machines are available to cope
with different mixing processes.

Process:
The mixing of the medium
is carried out without any
incorporation of air by a vortex
or along the mixing shaft. The
entire contents of the vessel,
even with materials of high
viscosity, is fully influenced.
A complete turnover of all product components is achieved
throughout all levels in the
vessel. The medium does not
rotate in the vessel as happens
with conventional stirrers, and
baffles are not required. Heavy
sediments are suspended wit-

The ystral DISPERMIX is used when

simple mixing is not sufficient but
dispersing with a high-shere rotorstator-system is too intensive. The
DISPERMIX causes intensive mixing
in both the micro and macro range
of the product and simultaneously
disperses the product completely in
one operation. An additional second
step with a high shear machine is no
longer required. The DISPERMIX offers
optimum mixing and dispersing energy,
high economy of operation and simple
handling, and fulfils the needs of any
demanding production process.

Dispermix
Mixing and dispersing with one machine
Function:
Together with the DISPERMIX
stator, a high-speed rotor
creates two liquid streams in
different directions. A partial
vertical stream is directed to
the bottom of the vessel or
tank where it is diverted and
reflected and causes strong
turbulence in the entire vessel
or tank. The second partial

through the dispersing zone
of the DISPERMIX.

Technology:
High-quality materials guarantee reliable continuous operation. Motor and mixing shaft
are assembled separately.
Rotating parts are protected
against accidental contact.
Optional modular design offers
an ideal and individual adaptation to the mixing process.
The DISPERMIX can be used
under pressure or vacuum in a

Principles:
Turbulences in the DISPERMIX
head and strong vertical forces
are essential for optimum
mixing of the entire contents
of the vessel or tank. The
patented ystral DISPERMIX
head works according to the
principle of a rotor-stator
system and causes strong
turbulence in the vessel or
tank, as well as particle
size reduction of solids and
agglomerates.

Multipurpose

The advantage of the ystral

Multipurpose aggregates is given by
the modular design exchangeable
shafts and/or exchangeable mixing and
dispersing tools. Previously this was
only known from the laboratory field.
With the ystral Multipurpose, this
advantage now can be used in production applications as well. With only
one machine a variety of products and
product volumes may be produced
with the most suitable tool. For the
requirements in the sterile or pharmaceutical production, all connections are
sealed following the GMP guidelines.
A variety of drives and stands enhance
the Multipurpose systems.

The ystral high-speed dispersing

machines work according to the
rotor-stator principle using high
peripheral speed. The extremely fine
distribution of solids (suspension) and
liquid (emulsion) in a basic liquid is
given by the interaction of different
particle size reduction procedures.
The high precision dispersing tools are
individually adapted to the respective
process application.

Certified acc. to

Disperser
Function:
The ystral inline and batch
dispersing machines work
according to the principle of a
rotor-stator system. Due to the
narrow gap between rotor and
stator, and also the high peripheral speed of the rotating
rotor, very high shear gradients
are applied. The product passes
through slots of the rotor teeth
into the shearing zone and lea-

ves it through the slots of the

stator. In low and medium
viscosity products, the machine
performs the pumping action
itself. The multi-tooth system
of the rotor and stator apply
other mechanical forces to the
product to increase the rate
of particle size reduction.

For the direct inline process,

the required degree of dispersing can be achieve using a
multiple shear ring machine.
All ystral machines may be
operated in horizontal or in
vertical position.

speed

Flow rate

Principles:
The product is forced through
the rotor-stator system. The
inner rotor ring accelerates the
product to maximum speed.
The stator reduces the speed
of the product to zero and
then the next rotor ring again
accelerates it. This results in
a very effective particle size
reduction and a homogeneous
distribution of the solid
particles and/or droplets in
the liquid product.
Process:
Three forms of operation are
possible:
batch dispersing directly
in a vessel
batch dispersing in a loop
with an external inline
dispersing machine

High shear gradients with the rotor-stator principles

Technology:
The rotor-stator system may
be equipped with up to three
dispersing stages and up to six
dispersing rings for each stage.
The size of the slots is determined by the process and may
vary from stage to stage or for
each shear ring.
If necessary, the dispersing
chamber may be equipped with
a cooling or heating mantle.
Depending on the application,
different types of sealing may
be installed:
Single action seals cooled
and lubricated by the
product itself
double action seals cooled
and lubricated by an external
cooling system
pressurised cooling and
lubricating system.

TDS induction mixer

The best way of handling powders

is to use a process that does not
allow the formation of dust at all.
Higher product quality by effective
wetting, dispersing and better
utilisation of the raw material are
further arguments in favour of the
ystral Transporting and Dissolving
System (TDS). With TDS induction
mixers, sophisticated processes may
be undertaken easily and
economically. It is possible to
induct liquids or gases as well.

Dust-free inducting and wetting of powders

Function:
The ystral TDS induction
mixer inducts the powder into
the liquid and simultaneously
suspends the product in the
vessel. All the advantages of
a Jetstream mixer are provided.
Sedimentation is avoided
and absolute homogeneity is
guaranteed during the whole
process.

Principles:
Powder is inducted through
an induction hose and brought
into the liquid below the
surface. The powder is finely
distributed and immediately
wetted and dispersed. The
required vacuum to induct
the powder is created in the
mixing head of the machine
itself according to the Venturi
principle. The fine distribution
of the powder when it comes
in contact with the liquid
results in a spontaneous and
complete wetting of all powder
particles.
Process:
The treatment of e.g. Aerosil,
Cab-O-Sil or similar is carried
out without any development
of dust with very short wetting
and suspending times. No dust
concentrations dangerous to
health come up. No dust comes
out from the surface of the
liquid. The treatment of
Activated Carbon is carried out

without polluting the environment by the carbon particles

and with the function as a
mixer the Activated Carbon
may be kept in suspension.
Technology:
The machine is operated in
two speed ranges: high speed
for the induction and low
speed for mixing and suspending after powder induction.
A separate cleaning connection
allows the inner parts of the
machine to be cleaned. Motor
and mixing shaft use separate
bearings. Seal and bearings
are arranged outside of the
submersed parts. All rotating
parts are protected against
accidental contact.

Dust and loss-free emptying of

containers, feeding of powder, dosing
and adding, wetting and dispersing to
a completely agglomerate-free result
all processing steps in one machine
the ystral Conti-TDS. By combining
all the processing steps into one
machine, enormous rationalisation
potential is offered. Production time
is minimised, partial processing steps
are completely avoided, production
cost is reduced to a minimum. The
basic idea of the Conti-TDS technology
is that not only the powder is wetted,
but also dispersed into a liquid under
vacuum. Agglomerates are avoided,
better reactivity, higher efficiency of
the raw material and higher product
quality are the results.

Conti-TDS
Powder inducting, wetting and dispersing
Function:
The Conti-TDS system is based
on the principle of an inline
dispersing machine. A rotorstator system transports and
disperses liquid with high shear
energy. The liquid that flows
through the dispersing chamber
builds up a high induction
vacuum. This vacuum inducts
powder without dust or

Process:
Typical installation is operation
in recirculation, attached to
a vessel. The machine may be
attached to several vessels or
may be placed on casters and
installed to vessels in different
working areas. It is easy to
integrate the machine into
existing processing systems.
A continuous process may be

container directly into the
liquid. Induction may be done
directly from a paper sack,
powder hopper, container,
barrel, Big-Bag or silo. After
powder induction, the machine
may be used as an inline

and further disperse the
product.

realised by using two vessels

working in flip-flop, a combination of batch and storage
tank or as a min/max processing system. Several powders
may be inducted and dosed in
a given sequence; swelling and
dispersing time can be adjusted.
De-aeration is no problem.
Product changes are easy to
handle. Continuous inline process is possible as well with the
same machine. For extremely
high viscosity products such as
offset printing inks, silicon
sealants, knifing filler or glue,
the machine is used in combination with a volumetric pump.

Principles:
The dispersing of the liquid
causes an enormous enlargement of the liquid surface that
is used for the wetting process.
The vacuum causes an expansion of the air content in the
powder to a multiple of the
original. The distance in-between the powder particles are
enlarged proportionally which
facilitates penetration and
increases the wetting capability
of the liquid. Even difficult to
wet powders, spontaneously
swelling or sticky powders
may be treated without any
problem.
