Retrofit of Industrial Dispersers for Paint Factories

Overview

The retrofit of paint dispersers is the process of updating and modernizing industrial equipment focused on dispersing solids in liquids, ensuring greater production efficiency. This solution allows paint, varnish and chemical factories to reuse their existing heavy structures, upgrading agitation and drive systems to achieve ideal fineness in formulations more quickly and economically.

Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, serving the industry in general with high reliability projects. If your plant needs more agility in batch production, upgrading to a Dispersor with Hydraulic Lifting offers quick pan exchange, drastically optimizing setup time between different batches and reducing the team's operational effort.

For plants that already have an infrastructure in place, the Vertical Dispersor is custom-made to be quickly integrated into your pan or existing tank. It is important to highlight that Agimix manufactures its own reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters, but for larger volumes, we supply the complete dispersion system perfectly dimensioned and installed in the structure that the customer already has on site.

Investing in the modernization of industrial dispersers means reducing energy consumption, reducing maintenance stops and increasing the stability of formulations. With highly durable components and cutting-edge technology, our retrofit projects transform obsolete equipment into high-performance machines, ensuring a quick and safe return on investment for your paint and varnish production line.

Frequently asked questions

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

What is scatterer retrofit for the paint industry?

The disperser retrofit is the technological update of old equipment to improve the dispersion of solids in liquids. This process replaces worn-out components (such as shafts, impellers and motors) with modern systems, increasing efficiency and reliability in the production of paints and varnishes.

What are the advantages of modernizing a spreader instead of buying a new one?

The main advantage is cost reduction, as you reuse the heavy structure of the machine and only update the agitation and drive system. This ensures new equipment performance with a significantly lower investment and shorter implementation time.

Can the vertical spreader be installed on my current tank?

Yes, the Vertical Dispersor is manufactured to measure to be perfectly integrated into your pan or existing tank. Our engineering team designs the flange, shaft length and disc diameter to ensure quick installation without complex adaptations in your plant.

How does hydraulic lifting help in paint production?

hydraulic lifting allows quick change of pans during batch production. With the Dispersor with Hydraulic Lifting, the operator lifts the agitator assembly in an automated and safe way, removes the full pan and inserts an empty one in a few minutes.

Does Agimix supply large tanks for the chemical industry?

No, Agimix manufactures its own tanks with a maximum capacity of up to 10,000 liters. For larger volumes, common in large chemical and petrochemical industries, we only supply the complete dispersion system, which is designed and installed in the large tank that the customer already has.

What is the impact of the retrofit on the final quality of the paint?

The retrofit ensures that the disperser propeller (such as the Cowles disc) operates at the correct rotation and power, reaching the degree of fineness required by the formulation. This eliminates the formation of lumps, improves homogeneity and guarantees the stability and perfect finish of paints and varnishes.

How long does it take to retrofit an industrial disperser?

The deadline varies depending on the complexity of the project, but quick integration into the plant is an absolute priority in Agimix projects. As the equipment is designed to measure, the final installation on site is usually agile, minimizing machine downtime in your factory.

What materials are used to renovate the parts in contact with the product?

The parts in direct contact with the product are manufactured in 304 or 316L Stainless Steel, depending on the chemical aggressiveness of the paint formulation. These noble materials guarantee high resistance to corrosion, prevent contamination and facilitate cleaning the equipment between different production batches.
