MEETING

TIGHT DELIVERIES THROUGH

FASTER, MORE CONSISTENT PROCESSING

Predictable, consistent quality. Easy to clean. These are the demands that are challenging process engineers in large-scale manufacturing today. However, traditional in-tank fluid mixing continues to impose limitations on productivity causing bottlenecks that industry has reluctantly learned to live with, or work around by introducing costly additional processes.
This in-tank velocity profile of a conventional mixer shows high velocity at the impeller, and low velocity throughout the bulk of the tank (blue and green areas). The result is random distribution of shear, which is impossible to control. Quadro Ytron single-pass technology delivers uniform shear to all material in a predictable, repeatable and scalable process.

Quadro Ytron s breakthrough, single-pass process delivers

high product quality that is not only predictable, repeatable and scalable, it can dramatically reduce batch times and energy consumption by as much as 75%. In-line processing offers a host of additional advantages. Powder wastage, air entrainment and batch-to-batch crosscontamination are virtually eliminated. Clean-up is fast and easy. Whats more, Quadro Ytron technology is flexible enough that a single device can even process multiple applications feeding several batch tanks. No wonder single-pass processing is rapidly gaining momentum among leading processors. As pioneers in this revolution, Quadro offers the expertise, track record and advanced technology to meet the growing demand.

"Not only did Quadro Ytrons speed and versatility allow us to reduce our batch times from 72 to 8 hours, we were able to free up manufacturing space, plus reduce inventory and warehouse demands while still meeting tight 3-day deliveries."
Quadro was approached by a large personal care product manufacturer producing privatelabel shampoos, creams and lotions for global distribution by health & beauty product retailers. Their conventional in-tank process was impeding productivity, and limiting batch quality and consistency. Deliver y deadlines were potentially at risk. At the Quadro R&D Test Center, we audited their process, providing a solution that eliminated lumps, fish eyes and air entrainment, rapidly dispersing high-viscosity thickeners such as Carbopol, HPMC and Keltrol into water and alcohol during the liquid fill cycle. In addition, wax flakes are instantly dissolved at reduced temperatures, saving cooling time.

In-line vs. In-tank Distribution of Shear

Conventional hit-and-miss
Percentage of process solution

Traditional in-tank dispersion and emulsifying methods are, at best, hit-and-miss. Powders and immiscible liquids introduced into a vessel of liquid must find their way to the mixing impeller in order to be effectively sheared and dispersed. In theor y, the vor texing created by a conventional impeller draws the powder down into the action zone. In reality, only a por tion of the material introduced will reach the tooling for processing. The result? Random, uncontrollable rates of shear. Some materials are continually recirculated back into the action zone leading to over processing. Other components, most often in "dead zones" nearer the vessel walls and sur face, remain virtually untouched. This incomplete dispersion not only promotes waste as materials "raft" on the tank sur face or build-up on walls and baffles, it encourages the creation of "fish eye" lumps.

Its easy to see why even the most power ful mixer often has limited impact. To compound the situation, traditional vortexflow induction introduces unwanted air into the batch mix, fur ther compromising the desired results. And because these results are the product of so many randomly impacting processing variables, batch-to-batch quality and consistency becomes wholly unattainable. Processors have traditionally attempted to overcome these problems by extending processing times or using more costly, higher horsepower mixers. However, these approaches can damage heat- and/or shear-sensitive products.

Intense shearing
The advanced design of the ZC Dispersers rotor/stator and reactor head provides for intense shearing of powders prior to hydration, to produce homogeneous dispersions that are completely free of lumps and "fish eyes".

Dramatic powder and batch time savings

A near-perfect vacuum, created by the liquid seal between the rotor and stator, permits concentrations up to 25% by weight to be generated in a single pass with minimal air entrainment. Because the powder is completely hydrated, yield is maximized and wastage is reduced or eliminated, translating into powder savings of up to 30%, compared to processing with in-tank or other in-line

Sanitary design options

There are three sanitar y-design models available, offering liquid throughputs up to 120 gpm (454 L/min). An optional vacuum deliver y system is also available, for completely dust-free operation.

The Quadro Ytron PID Powder Inductor Disperser uses ZC technology to convey, incorporate and disperse difficult-to-wet powders with the push of a single button.

2. Rotor creates a liquid ring, generating a significant vacuum build in the reactor head. 3. This vacuum ensures that powders from the hopper above are drawn into the head where they are sheared into the liquid phase, before hydration takes place.

The Y Jet Mixers strong axial flow pattern produces a uniform velocity profile, throughout the vessel with no stratification or dead areas, improving heat transfer rates and reducing batch blending times by as much as 80%. The Y Jet Mixers flow characteristics are ideal for the suspension and re-suspension of high-settling-rate solids.

An axial flow impeller within a unique, finned stator eliminates radial flow to deliver a strong axial discharge.

HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY,

WITHOUT FACILITY EXPANSION

"With Quadro Ytron weve been able to substantially increase production, without having to expand our facility. In addition to reducing overall batch times by 75%, the increase in viscosity we achieved has allowed us to re-formulate and use less powder saving time and money."
A leading North American developer of innovative professional dentistr y products brought us their challenge. They needed to rapidly and uniformly disperse Carbopol and 40% carbamide peroxide into a low pH glycerine solution, without overprocessing. After analyzing the problem, Quadro engineered a solution that not only met their requirements, but optimized batch-to-batch consistency, reduced air entrainment and eliminated the need for filtering undispersed powders.

From stand-alone, in-line emulsifiers to integrated process skid systems incorporating automatic powder feed, liquid flow control and product transfer, each solution can be custom configured for easy integration with your process train. And to ensure successful integration into your plant environment, we of fer on-site demos, lab testing, monthly rentals and extended proof-of-performance programs.
