DLM/H
Inline Homogenizer
High shear mixing for emulsifying and dispersing
The INDAG Inline Homogenizer type DLM/H is used for effective dispersing (emulsifying) and for producing a suspension from liquids and solids. Furthermore, solids can be crushed in liquids. Examples for the use of the DLM/H are: the production of stable emulsions from oil + water + emulsifier; the dilution of sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) with water; the production of paints, lacquers, detergents, adhesives. With an INDAG DLM/H, compared to batch systems, the process time is shortened and the product quality is improved.
Advantages of DLM/H
- Very good self-cleaning during CIP-cleaning
- Efficient introduction of mixing energy
- Optimal completely heatable
- Hygienic construction
- Applicable at high pressures and high temperatures
- Variable mixing energy by speed change via frequency converter
Technology of DLM/H
INDAG homogenizer type DLM/H consists of a rotor and stator equipped with axial positioned mixing/shearing elements. The stator can be designed to be cooled or heated. The DLM/H is offered in compact design (KB) and in bearing block design (LB). In the compact design, the rotor is mounted by the output shaft of the motor. In the bearing block design, the rotor is mounted by its own bearing block. With own bearing block, narrower shear gaps and thus a more intensive shear effect can be realized. Furthermore, this design is also suitable for mixing under high pressure or high temperature. The type of rotor seal is selected to suit each application. For the supply of the double acting mechanical seal INDAG offers the suitable barrier fluid system. INDAG mixers are designed likewise for explosive areas and substances (ATEX).
