Advanced dissolver for high-viscosity products

Handle ultra-high viscosity mixing challenges effortlessly with this advanced dissolver, designed to maximize precision and efficiency in complex production lines.

Processes High-Viscosity Materials Efficiently

The KDV series from Wilhelm Niemann GmbH & Co offers a high-speed dispersing solution tailored for processing middle to ultra-high-viscosity materials. Leveraging modern frequency converter technology, this dissolver excels in mixing, dispersing, and evacuating tasks essential for industries such as paint, cosmetics, and adhesives. Capable of handling batch sizes from 750 to 15,000 liters with driving powers between 58 and 315 kW, it ensures efficient processing for products like industrial enamel paints, epoxy floor coatings, and carbon fiber composites. The system is designed with a closed, adjustable-height toothed disc assembly for versatile operations and includes options for ATEX compliance, high-pressure cleaning systems, and stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance. Additional features include viscosity-dependent speed control, recipe-controlled automation via PC/PLC systems, and comprehensive engineering support for customized solutions.
