Base Emulsifier for Paints and Varnishes

Overview

The bottom emulsifier for paints and varnishes is an industrial equipment designed to act on breaking down lumps and emulsions directly at the base of tanks and process reactors. This solution is fundamental to guarantee the stability, uniform dispersion of pigments and the perfect homogeneity required in the manufacture of high-performance coatings.

When operating with the rotor and stator system, the Bottom Emulsifier Agitators (Rotor and Stator) works as an indispensable assistant in chemical production. It creates a high mechanical shear that reduces particle size, optimizing color development and preventing unwanted sedimentation in the final product.

Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, serving the industry in general with excellence. For the paint sector, we supply everything from complete systems with our own reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters to the integration of the high shear emulsifier into large tanks that the customer already has in their manufacturing plant.

Investing in an industrial emulsification system from Agimix means ensuring energy efficiency and batch repeatability. Our equipment is custom-sized to withstand the high viscosity of varnishes and the abrasiveness of mineral fillers present in paints, raising the quality standard of your chemical production line.

Frequently asked questions

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

What is a base emulsifier for paints and varnishes?

The bottom emulsifier for paints and varnishes is high shear equipment installed at the base of industrial tanks. It is used to break down lumps and emulsions, ensuring that the pigments and resins mix in a perfectly homogeneous way.

How does the rotor and stator system work in paint production?

The system works by sucking fluid into a mixing head where the rotor rotates at high speed inside a fixed stator. This process generates high mechanical and hydraulic shear, essential for dispersing solid particles and creating a stable emulsion in the varnish or paint.

Does Agimix supply the complete tank for paint production?

Agimix manufactures complete systems with its own reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters. For higher volumes common in large chemical industries, we supply and install the emulsification system directly in the tank or reactor that the customer already has in their plant.

What is the advantage of using an emulsifier at the bottom of the reactor?

The main advantage is the ability to process materials that tend to settle, ensuring that solids are constantly drawn into the shear zone. The Bottom Emulsifier Agitators (Rotor and Stator) acts as an excellent assistant to prevent the accumulation of material at the bottom of the tank.

What materials are used in the manufacture of the emulsifier?

The equipment is predominantly manufactured in 304 or 316L stainless steel, materials that offer excellent resistance to corrosion caused by solvents and chemical components. This robust construction guarantees the durability of the industrial emulsifier even in aggressive environments.

Can the equipment handle high viscosity varnishes?

Yes, the equipment is designed to withstand high viscosity fluids. The motor and rotor and stator assembly are specifically sized to overcome varnish resistance, promoting efficient homogenization without overloading the electrical system.

Is it possible to integrate the emulsifier into an existing stirring system?

Yes, integration is completely viable and highly recommended in the chemical industry. The bottom emulsifier works perfectly as an auxiliary to a top agitator, combining global flow with localized high shear to optimize process time.

How is the bottom emulsifier sealed to prevent solvent leaks?

Sealing is carried out using a high performance mechanical seal, which can be single or double depending on the aggressiveness of the product. This sealing system is rigorously tested to ensure complete safety against solvent and resin leaks during continuous operation.
