Eliminate Your Pump Requirements

The Quadro Ytron Z Emulsifier with pumping tooling has been designed to provide continuous in-line high-shear mixing, emulsifying and homogenizing while eliminating the requirement for infeed and/or discharge pumps. The toothed rotor/stator heads are engineered to extremely fine radial tolerances to process the product at high differential velocities. The result is consistent, repeatable quality at capacities exceeding those of conventional multiple-pass technology, such as in-tank high-shear mixers, colloid mills and shear pumps.

Tooling Flexibility

Rotors/stators for the Z Emulsifier come in a wide variety of slot widths which allow for a high degree of multiprocessing flexibility. Through tooling selection and varying rotor tip speed the amount of shear can be precisely controlled.

Scalable Throughput

The pumping tooling option is available on three sanitary design models providing scalability from pilot plant capacities to >200 gpm (760 L/min). By maintaining the same tip speed while changing the tooling diameter, throughput can be scaled up or down while maintaining product characteristics, texture and particle size distribution.

 

 

  

Quadro's Approach

  1. Product is drawn into the housing axially from the inlet pumping rotor.
  2. One or more liquid phases and suspended particles are pumped through the toothed rotors/stators.
  3. Controlled, high-intensity shear is delivered equally to all fluid elements, regardless of product characteristics.
  4. Shear rate is constant, dependent only on rotor/stator tooth selection and rotor tip speed.
  5. Product is pumped from the housing via the discharge pumping rotor.
