9.How Does High Speed Disperser And Homogenizer Work?

High-speed dispersers mainly use speed rotation to reduce the size and viscosity of particles in the material. Its working principle is:

Working principle of high speed dispersers-sourced: FRANLI

• High-speed dispersers use a high-speed impeller design. When the equipment is started, the blades with serrated edges will rotate at high speed;
• When the blades rotate at high speed, the strong flow will absorb and continuously mix the materials in the equipment;
• When the impeller speed of the equipment increases, huge shear force will be generated;
• This shear force will continuously shear and reduce the size of the material;
• When the equipment continues to shear and mix, a smooth and highly consistent mixture will be formed in the end;
• Both the size and viscosity of the particles will be reduced.

The working principle of the homogenizer is very simple. It is:

Working principle of homogenizers-sourced: Silverson Machines

• When the equipment is working, huge pressure will be generated through the valve inside the equipment;
• This pressure will form a shock wave, which will impact, tear and destroy the particles;
• When shear force is generated, the high pressure inside the equipment will cause cavitation effect in the center;
• This cavitation effect will further shear and tear the materials in the equipment;
• When the materials in the equipment are torn and sheared, a high-speed fluid will be formed in the equipment;
• This fluid will continuously generate heat to melt and fuse the materials.
