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.

Benefits

  • Enhances safety with ATEX-certified design for hazardous areas.
  • Increases production efficiency with precise speed adjustments and real-time monitoring.
  • Reduces operational costs by optimizing energy usage with a variable-speed motor.
  • Provides excellent chemical compatibility with corrosion-resistant materials.
  • Streamlines maintenance and ensures quick turnaround with integrated CIP systems.
