Explosion-proof dissolvers for laboratory use
Ideal for safely dispersing and mixing chemical substances in potentially explosive environments, these dissolvers ensure compliance with strict safety standards while enhancing efficiency in laboratory operations.

Stirs and Disperses High-Viscosity Materials Safely
The DISPERMAT® SC4-EX from VMA-GETZMANN is an explosion-proof industrial dissolver designed for the efficient stirring and dispersing of high-viscosity materials in hazardous environments. It operates using an integrated, adjustable-speed motor with electric height adjustment to ensure precise control over the mixing process. Ideally suited for the production of herbicides, automotive paints, lithium-ion battery slurries, and cosmetics, the SC4-EX safely handles materials within a capacity range of 30 to 600 litres.
With a PLC control system, this dissolver integrates seamlessly into automated production lines offering real-time process monitoring and control. The energy-efficient design reduces power consumption by up to 15% while maintaining high throughput rates. Constructed from durable materials for resistance to chemical corrosion, the SC4-EX meets ATEX Zone 2 requirements, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards. The equipment supports automated clean-in-place (CIP) systems, facilitating easy maintenance and minimizing downtime in demanding production settings. Custom configurations for rotor speeds and scraper systems are available to suit specific manufacturing needs.
