Incorporation of Carbopol® and 40% Carbamide Peroxide into Glycerine.
Carbopol® is difficult to disperse into Glycerine because the low pH Glycerine
solution results in instant hydration and viscosity increase.
40% by weight Carbamide Peroxide is added to the Carbopol solution in a
recirculation to the mixing vessel.
Need to increase production without expanding the facility.
Quadro Liquids Solution
ZC1 in line disperser, skid mounted with a dual PD pump arrangement for performance with high viscosities and high solids addition rates and automated Q-Vac vacuum powder addition system.
Controls to allow (3) pre-set operating points on inlet and discharge pumps:
Carbopol addition
Carbamide Peroxide addition
Auxiliary setting
Automated powder valve with level sensors in the hopper to control powder on/off addition.
ZC Powder Disperser Advantages
75% reduction in overall batch time vs. conventional in-tank mixer processing.
Rapid incorporation & dispersion of solids without lumps or "fish-eyes".
Improved product consistency from batch to batch.
Increase in viscosity, customer was able to reformulate and use less polymer.
Eliminated requirement to filter undispersed powders.
No over-processing common with conventional mixers preserving the rheological properties of shear-sensitive products.
Significantly reduced air entrainment.
Elimination of quality problems associated with cross batch contamination.
No excessive dusting from bag dumping into process vessels.
No solids build-up on process vessel walls.
Elimination of the requirement to expand the manufacturing area to increase production.
