Hockmeyer’s Nexgen Rotor Stator Optimizes Deagglomeration, Dispersion and Particle Size Reduction

Hockmeyer Equipment Corporation has introduced Nexgen Rotor Stator, a new equipment line. The patented technology [patent #11,110,409] achieves maximum particle deagglomeration and dispersion by combining mechanical and vacuum forces.

While the powerful shear tears up agglomerates, the vacuum removes the air trapped inside. Liquid fills the void, encapsulating each particle, achieving thorough wetting and enhanced stability.

The product is pulled from both the top and bottom of the rotor and passes through a unique shear pattern of vertical and horizontal slots for dynamic impact and maximum open area for maximum flow.

In the 10-liter model, the 12-inch rotor pumps up to 300 GPM @ s.g. 1 with tip speeds up to 5000 fpm. These properties plus the tight tolerance between the rotor and the stator create the ideal environment to maximize deagglomeration and dispersion. It is ideal for developing dispersions of tough-to-grind pigments to continue on to nano milling, the company reported.
