K-Super Reactor® inline & circulation dispersing machines (Horizontal system)

For years K-Super Reactor® has been synonymous with high performance dispersing machines in process engineering circles.

The development of these machines is based on Prof. Willem's discovery of the effects of mechanical high frequencies on stator-rotor systems with high peripheral velocities. After proving in the chemical industry: the range of applications has been expanded to include other areas.

Reasons for the wide spectrum of applications are not only to be found in the excellent dispersing performance of K-Super Reactor® machines, but rather also the rugged, mature design and minimal power consumption of the drive system, which assures highly cost effective operation. The fine dispersions which have been achieved with these machines are the result of complex interaction between several fragmentation mechanisms, whereby the turbulent forces at the shear gap also make a decisive contribution. 3-dimensional, local, time phased velocity fluctuations occur to this end, which are coupled with high frequency pressure fluctuations.

Individual geometric layout of the stator-rotor design (generators) make the K-Super Reactor® machines adaptable to any process goal.

Thus the applications range of K-Super Reactor® machines covers the entire spectrum of dispersion technology. It includes the production of emulsions, (liquid-liquid), suspensions (solid-liquid) and Iyosols (gas-liquid), as well as homogenization. Because the intensity of mass transfer is increased by forces caused by the rotor-stator system, the dissolving of mono, as well as macromolecular materials is accelerated. If a reliable recommendation concerning the selection of a machine is not possible despite extensive practical experience, we will determine the requirements for correct dimensioning of K-Super Reactor® machines in our technical applications department.

Practical Tips:

• The nominal throughput volume is reduced by about 20% per approx 1,000 mPas (rule of thumb).

• Thus a pump is required at the inlet side as of about 3,000 mPas.

• The pump should be as pulsation-free as possible.

• When a pump is used, motor power consumption from the K-Super Reactor® must be taken into consideration.

• Observe temperature carefully for small throughput volumes; consider installing a pump at the inlet side and increasing throughput.
