POWDER HANDLING AND DISPERSING
The Ystral Conti-TDS is a machine for the dust-free induction, wetting and dispersing of powders into a liquid with a single machine. It is designed according to the rotor-stator-principle and creates the required vacuum to induct the powder into the shear zone of the dispersed and highly accelerated liquid stream by itself. It has been certified by 3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc. (3-A SSI) to meet its sanitary standards and carry the 3-A Symbol.
As with other Ystral TDS-machines, the Conti-TDS system offers the following advantages:
- Dust-free handling without any loss of powder, no decanting, no exhaust systems, no filter systems are required
- Direct induction from bags, silos, bulk bags or powder containers
- Immediate and complete wetting, directly into the liquid stream, no partially wetted crust at the wall of the vessel and/or the mixing shaft
- Higher degree of dispersion compared to conventional mixing and dispersing principles
- Even liquids and gases may be inducted
- CIP-cleaning without disassembly
Other product features include:
- Unlike other Ystral TDS-machines, the Conti-TDS machine is not installed into, but placed outside of the respective vessel. With this set-up, all energy is concentrated into wetting and dispersing into a very small volume in the mixing head.
- Liquid and powder enter the mixing chamber from different sides. They are dispersed in a rotor-stator-system and leave the mixing chamber completely wetted and dispersed through the liquid outlet of the chamber.
- The machine may either be placed in a horizontal or in a vertical position.
- The machine is mainly operated as an inline system attached to a vessel. Another option is to already induct powder while filling the vessel
- The Ystral Conti-TDS is not self-priming and requires some static pressure at the inlet of the mixing chamber (static filling level or a pressurizing pump).
- Best induction results can be achieved by installing the induction machine as close as possible to the vessel.
- The angle between product inlet and product outlet is variable. It is very easy to adapt the system into existing installations.
