Industrial Disperser for Graphic Inks and Varnishes

Overview

The disperser for graphic inks and varnishes is an industrial equipment designed to break down pigment agglomerates and homogenize resins at high speed. This solution is essential to guarantee the covering power and gloss required by the graphic printing market, acting directly in the pre-grinding and fine dispersion stage.

The manufacture of high viscosity compounds requires absolute precision to avoid lumps and inconsistencies in the batch. With 15 years of experience in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market, Agimix develops robust projects that support the continuous regime of chemical industries, delivering an optimized dispersion process that reduces machine time and increases plant profitability.

To meet this demand with maximum operational efficiency, Disperser with Hydraulic Lifting stands out as the ideal choice. This equipment allows the quick change of pots, facilitating batch production of different colors and formulations without generating bottlenecks in the filling line.

The hydraulic column lifting system provides ergonomic safety to operators and allows fine adjustment of the height of the dispersing disc during the process. This guarantees the perfect formation of the vortex, an essential condition for the incorporation of additives and mineral fillers in the production of varnishes and printing inks.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is a disperser for graphic inks and varnishes?

The industrial disperser is a high-shear equipment used to mix resins and break down pigment agglomerates. It is the main machine in the initial manufacturing stage, ensuring that the paint base reaches the appropriate fineness before passing through the microsphere mills.

How does the spreader lifting system work?

The system works through a hydraulic lifting column that automatically raises and lowers the motor and shaft assembly. This allows the operator to adjust the height of the dispersion disc according to the product level in the pan, in addition to making it easier to remove the container after the batch is complete.

What is the advantage of using interchangeable pans in paint production?

The main advantage is the agility in batch production. While a batch is being dispersed in the Dispersor with Hydraulic Lifting, another pot can now be prepared with raw materials or taken to the filling area, eliminating downtime.

Does the disperser replace the mill in the manufacture of graphic inks?

No, the equipment performs the initial pre-dispersion and homogenization of the formulation. Although it can achieve an excellent degree of fineness, graphic inks with very high gloss and coverage requirements still need to go through a mill for the final grinding of the particles.

What is the manufacturing material of the parts in contact with the varnish?

The shaft and disperser disc are made of AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel. This choice of material is mandatory to avoid contamination of the paint by oxidation and to resist severe abrasion caused by mineral fillers and hard pigments.

How does the equipment deal with the high viscosity of printing inks?

The equipment uses high-power motors combined with a frequency inverter. This allows the machine to start rotation smoothly and gradually increase torque, maintaining the stability of the mixing vortex even in extremely viscous formulations.

Is it possible to adjust the rotation speed during the process?

Yes, speed control is fully adjustable via the electrical control panel. The operator can change the cowles disc rotation in real time to adapt to viscosity changes that occur as additives and pigments are incorporated into the resin.

What volumes can the column disperser process?

Column dispersers are designed to process volumes typically ranging from 100 to 2,000 liters per batch. The exact sizing of the equipment and the pan will depend on the production demand of your factory and the specific density of the chemical product.
