Agglomerates often form, air enters the product, dust develops or solvents escape. Solid-liquid mixing prevents these side effects: it wets the solids and then combines mixing, homogenising and dispersing in a single pass.<\/p><div class=\"svt-ptiles\"><div class=\"svt-ptile\"><i class=\"fa fa-cloud\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><strong>No dust<\/strong><span>No swirling up and no deposits on the lid.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"svt-ptile\"><i class=\"fa fa-th-large\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><strong>No agglomerates<\/strong><span>Solids are distributed evenly.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"svt-ptile\"><i class=\"fa fa-eur\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><strong>Lower costs<\/strong><span>Less staff, cleaning, disposal and energy costs.<\/span><\/div><\/div><h2>Typical problems when agitating solids<\/h2><p>This agitation task is called <a href=\"\/suspension\/?lang=en\">suspension<\/a>. The solids can be soluble or insoluble. With a simple agitator, the following often occur:<\/p><ul class=\"svt-checks\"><li>Agglomerates and air entrainment<\/li><li>Heavy dust formation or solvent emissions<\/li><li>Solids sticking to the agitator tool<\/li><li>Quality deviations and raw material losses<\/li><\/ul><h2>Physics of solid-liquid mixing<\/h2><p>Physically, solid-liquid mixing is a three-phase system of solid, surrounding gas phase and liquid. When a liquid meets a moving solids mixture, its quantity and spreadability determine how well the individual particles are <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wetting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wetted<\/a>. Spreadability depends mainly on:<\/p><ul class=\"svt-tags\"><li>Surface tension<\/li><li>Viscosity of the liquid<\/li><li>Porosity of the solid<\/li><li>Lipophilic or hydrophilic<\/li><li>Efficiency of distribution<\/li><\/ul><h2>Applications<\/h2><p>Incorporating powders, granules or bulk materials into liquids is a complex process in many industries. In the pharmaceutical industry, for example, tablet coatings are made from solids and aqueous solutions. Suspensions of colour pigments are typical in dye production. Further examples:<\/p><div class=\"svt-sgrid\"><a class=\"svt-scard\" href=\"\/colour-pigments\/?lang=en\"><span>Colour pigments<\/span><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"svt-scard\" href=\"\/suspensions\/?lang=en\"><span>Suspensions<\/span><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"svt-scard\" href=\"\/toothpaste\/?lang=en\"><span>Toothpaste<\/span><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/div><h2>What matters<\/h2><ul class=\"svt-checks\"><li>The entire amount of solids gets completely into the liquid<\/li><li>No residues remain in feed containers and lines<\/li><li>The solid does not swirl up or stick to the lid<\/li><li>The suspended solid is evenly distributed, without agglomerates or sedimentation<\/li><li>Powder induction with a premixing section and no rewetting of the solids<\/li><li>Agitators that reach every point in the vessel with sufficient flow<\/li><\/ul><p>Here too, precise design in advance is necessary, depending on raw materials and process.
