The optimization of vertical dispersers with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is the advanced simulation process used to maximize efficiency in the production of paints and varnishes. This technology guarantees the best geometric and operational configuration of the Vertical Dispersor, ensuring the perfect dispersion of solids in liquids and the efficient breaking of agglomerates in the first stages of the industrial process.
In the chemical industry, achieving ideal paint homogeneity requires high shear rates and tight flow control. Through CFD simulation, our engineers are able to map the behavior of the fluid, identify dead zones and adjust the profile of the dispersing propeller (Cowles type). The final equipment is custom-made for the customer's existing pot or tank, ensuring quick and seamless integration into the plant.
Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, providing robust equipment, agitators, reactors and dispersers for the industry in general. Our expertise combined with computational engineering allows us to deliver dispersion systems that drastically reduce batch time and increase the quality of the final product.
Investing in an optimized dispersion system means reducing energy consumption and avoiding the waste of high-cost raw materials, such as pigments, fillers and resins. The design validated by fluid analysis ensures that the motor, shaft and disc operate at the exact rotation required for grinding and dispersing high viscosity varnishes, delivering superior and reliable performance.
The disc profile is optimized via CFD to ensure maximum shear rate, resulting in rapid and uniform agglomerate breaking.
The Vertical Dispersor is manufactured specifically for the customer's existing tank, ensuring installation without the need for major structural adaptations.
The flow simulation eliminates dead zones inside the pan, accelerating the homogenization of the paint and increasing daily productivity.
The precise sizing of the motor and frequency inverter prevents oversizing, reducing electrical energy consumption during dispersion.
Shafts and discs are made of high-resistance stainless steel, withstanding the severe abrasion typical of grinding pigments and mineral fillers.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
Optimization with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is the use of computer simulations to analyze and improve the flow of liquids within the tank. This ensures that the vertical disperser operates with maximum efficiency, eliminating dead zones and improving the mixing of paints and varnishes.
The equipment uses a high shear disc to disperse solids in liquids, breaking down pigment particles and mineral fillers. This process is essential to guarantee the color, brightness and stability of the paint in the final product.
No, our Vertical Dispersor is custom-made to be installed in the existing pan or tank that the customer already has. We supply the entire agitation and dispersion system perfectly sized for your current reservoir.
The main advantage is the predictability of the fluid's behavior, allowing the size of the Cowles disc and engine power to be adjusted before manufacturing. This results in shorter batch time and significant energy savings in the industrial plant.
The parts in contact with the product are manufactured in 304 or 316L stainless steel, ensuring high resistance to corrosion and abrasion. This robustness is essential to withstand pigment grinding and contact with solvents in the chemical industry.
Yes, the system is designed with high-power motors and frequency inverters to handle fluids up to 50,000 cP. CFD analysis helps define the exact torque needed to move dense masses without overloading the equipment.
Installation is quick and straightforward, as the project is based on the exact dimensions of your industrial tank. Our engineering team ensures that the fixing flange or lifting system fits perfectly into your existing infrastructure.
Yes, all of our dispersers can be equipped with control panels and frequency inverters. This allows the operator to adjust the shaft rotation in real time, adapting the shear to the specific phase of paint or varnish production.
