Twin Shaft Disperser

Product Overview

The MIKRONS Twin Shaft Disperser is a powerful industrial dispersing system designed for mixing ultra-high viscosity materials—up to 300,000 centipoises. This dual-action mixer combines the high-shear force of a high-speed dispersing disc with the strong flow of a heavy-duty anchor impeller, delivering both vertical and horizontal mixing action for highly efficient processing.

Ideal for adhesives, sealants, putties, and other heavy pastes, the Twin Shaft Disperser ensures uniform dispersion, reduced processing time, and effective deaeration through optional vacuum systems. Engineered for flexibility and performance, it is the perfect choice for demanding industrial applications.

Product Highlights

  • Dual Shaft Design Two independently driven shafts: one with a high-speed dispersing disc and the other with an anchor-type impeller for sweeping motion and wall scraping.
  • Handles Extremely High Viscosity Built for pastes and materials exceeding 300,000 centipoises, such as sealants, coatings, and polymers.
  • Double Suction Cowl Disc Impeller This impeller improves batch circulation and reduces dispersion time by up to 40%, although it increases motor horsepower by ~20%.
  • Vacuum Mixing Available Optional vacuum models eliminate air entrapment during mixing and improve product consistency.
  • Side Wall Scraper System Optional side scraper with separate drive ensures thorough cleaning of vessel walls and enhanced material turnover.

Applications

The Twin Shaft Disperser is ideal for processing high-viscosity and multi-phase materials in various industries:

  • Sealants and Putties
  • Adhesives
  • Printing Inks and Pigment Pastes
  • Coatings and Varnishes
  • Construction Chemicals
  • Cosmetics and Creams
  • Silicone & Resin Blends

How the Twin Shaft Disperser Works

The twin shaft design incorporates two separate yet synchronized mixing actions:

  • The high-speed disc impeller creates a strong vortex and delivers intense shear forces to break down agglomerates and disperse particles.
  • Simultaneously, the low-speed anchor impeller rotates along the tank wall, continuously moving high-viscosity materials toward the mixing zone while scraping material buildup from the vessel wall.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • 1. What’s the main advantage of using a twin shaft disperser over a single shaft mixer?

    Twin shaft dispersers are specifically designed for high-viscosity and multi-phase materials. They combine high-shear dispersion and bulk movement, making them far more effective for dense pastes.

  • 2. Can the machine be customized for vacuum operation?

    Yes, MIKRONS offers vacuum-ready models with full sealing systems for air-sensitive or foam-prone materials.

  • 3. What’s the benefit of the double suction cowl disc impeller?

    It significantly reduces batch processing time (up to 40%) by improving material flow into the shear zone, though it increases the motor's horsepower requirement by about 20%.

  • 4. Is it possible to control each shaft independently?

    Yes, both shafts are powered by individual motors and controlled via Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for precise speed adjustments.

  • 5. What industries commonly use this mixer?

    Twin shaft dispersers are widely used in adhesives, sealants, coatings, cosmetic creams, putties, and other viscous material processing industries.
