Quadro Ytron®/ Products
Ytron XC Powder Dispersion Unit

High Capacity, Single-Pass Dispersion
of Powders into Liquids

The XC Disperser's dual-stage reactor generates a near-perfect vacuum that ensures the intensive wetting of powders while delivering high discharge capacity, to enable concentrations up to 40% by weight to be produced in a single-pass.

Batch-to-Batch Repeatability

Not only does this innovative technology reduce dispersion
times by up to 80%, single-pass processing ensures product
characteristics are completely reproducible from batch-to-batch. And there's no plugging of screens, typical with other
in-line blenders.

High Throughput

Two portable, sanitary-design models of the XC Disperser are
available, offering throughputs up to 200 gpm (760 L/min).
Powder delivery options include feeding from hoppers, bag
dump stations, bulk bags or super sacs and wanding from
bags or our Quadro Vac® vacuum delivery system.

Principle of Operation

The Quadro Ytron XC Powder Disperser has a dual-stage reactor housing designed specifically to incorporate and disperse large quantities of powders (up to 40% by weight) into a liquid stream. The first stage in the reactor creates a strong vacuum ensuring the powders are drawn into the reactor head. Immediately after the powder comes into contact with the liquid, the premix is subjected to directional and velocity changes as the mix repeatedly impinges on stationary baffles. The second stage tangentially discharges a smooth, lump-free, homogeneous product.
