Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Dispersers (Dissolvers): Equipment utilizing specially adapted Cowles discs that achieve high rotational and circumferential speeds, offering powerful and efficient dispersion performance through optimized technologies like VOLLRATH's 'double suction disc'. Specialized products for dispersing paints, varnishes, and pastes.Dispersers(Dissolvers):EquipmentutilizingspeciallyadaptedCowlesdiscsthatachievehighrotationalandcircumferentialspeeds,offeringpowerfulandefficientdispersionperformancethroughoptimizedtechnologieslikeVOLLRATH's'doublesuctiondisc'.Specializedproductsfordispersingpaints,varnishes,andpastes.
Bead-Mills (agitator-ball-mills): Characterized by high power density and excellent energy efficiency, with a unique grinding chamber design ensuring high grinding performance. Vertical grinding chambers ensure even distribution of the bead package and maximize geodetic pressure, leading to high grinding performance and color strength. Available in single-chamber and double-chamber types (e.g., VMSM), primarily used for wet grinding of suspensions and pigment pastes.Bead-Mills(agitator-ball-mills):Characterizedbyhighpowerdensityandexcellentenergyefficiency,withauniquegrindingchamberdesignensuringhighgrindingperformance.Verticalgrindingchambersensureevendistributionofthebeadpackageandmaximizegeodeticpressure,leadingtohighgrindingperformanceandcolorstrength.Availableinsingle-chamberanddouble-chambertypes(e.g.,VMSM),primarilyusedforwetgrindingofsuspensionsandpigmentpastes.
Mixers / Stirrers: Primarily used for efficient mixing and homogenizing of solids into liquids or liquid into liquid. When fitted with the 'Lenart-disc', they provide excellent vortex creation and agglomerate breakdown in the paint and coatings industry. Offers various agitator tools such as propellers, butterfly, pitched blade propellers, disc agitators, and anchor agitators. Features frequency converter technology for infinitely variable speed regulation, ensuring high efficiency and overload protection.Mixers/Stirrers:Primarilyusedforefficientmixingandhomogenizingofsolidsintoliquidsorliquidintoliquid.Whenfittedwiththe'Lenart-disc',theyprovideexcellentvortexcreationandagglomeratebreakdowninthepaintandcoatingsindustry.Offersvariousagitatortoolssuchaspropellers,butterfly,pitchedbladepropellers,discagitators,andanchoragitators.Featuresfrequencyconvertertechnologyforinfinitelyvariablespeedregulation,ensuringhighefficiencyandoverloadprotection.
Tanks (Containers): Custom-designed and manufactured tanks and containers, often including bottom and/or wall scrapers, to be used with dispersers, mixers, or anchor stirrers.
