Co-Axial Agitators, often referred to as Twin-Shaft Dispersers (TSD) in industries like paint and ink, integrate low-speed and high-speed mixing technologies on a single axis. These agitators feature a slow-speed peripheral anchor with a scraper impeller for effective heat transfer and wall cleaning, paired with a high-speed saw-tooth or cowl disc impeller for solids dispersion. Equipped with independent drive and control systems for speed and direction, Co-Axial Agitators ensure precise mixing in pre-mix tanks and other applications requiring efficient heat transfer and dispersion in viscous materials.

Mixing Tips for selection of Co-Axial Agitator

Gums & Thickeners:

• Powder should be added as fast as possible to avoid viscosity buildup. HSD OR Rotor Stator should be designed to rapidly hydrate or disperse the powder.
• This will achieve agglomerate free solution with better productivity.

Mixing of High & Low viscosity Fluids:

• Start with low viscosity fluids as it will require smaller machine. Addition of high viscosity fluid should be at flow suction of impeller.
