Laboratory disperser for powder induction and wetting

Optimize your pilot and laboratory processes with a high-speed disperser that efficiently incorporates powders into liquids, eliminating dust and ensuring consistent, high-quality results.

Induces, Mixes, and Disperses Powders and Liquids

The YSTRAL PiloTec/PiloTec-Plant is a versatile lab and pilot-scale disperser designed to integrate seamlessly into R&D and production processes. It features Conti-TDS technology for efficient powder induction, dispersion, and emulsification under vacuum, promoting dust-free and loss-free operation. This multifunctional equipment supports a range of processes, including homogenizing, wet grinding, and de-agglomeration, with a flexible capacity from 5 to 200 liters. Its modular design allows for easy expansion, incorporating powder and liquid handling systems, automation, and more. Crafted from AISI 316 L stainless steel, it ensures corrosion resistance and is CIP-capable for hygienic operations. The PiloTec is ideal for chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries, providing reliable scale-up from laboratory tests to production. Customization options include explosion-resistant designs and specific voltage or power configurations, backed by comprehensive engineering support.
