Epsilon Inline Disperser

Product catalog summary
Overview
The NETZSCH Epsilon inline disperser is a unique system for dispersing solids in liquids, differing from conventional rotor-stator systems by eliminating the stator and narrow shear gaps. This results in minimal product warming, reduced shear forces, and effective deaeration.

Key Benefits
  • Minimal warming and shear forces.
  • Effective deaeration and high availability.
  • Insensitive to small foreign objects.
  • Consistent product quality and gentle processing.
  • Dust and emission-free operation.
  • Automatic mode for process reliability.

Technical Specifications
  • Models: Epsilon 30 and Epsilon 90.
  • Solids intake: 50 - 5,000 kg/h (Epsilon 30), 150 - 12,000 kg/h (Epsilon 90).
  • Suspension flow: 15 - 30 m³/h (Epsilon 30), 40 - 80 m³/h (Epsilon 90).
  • Drive power: 30/37 kW (Epsilon 30), 75/90/110 kW (Epsilon 90).
  • Max speed: 3,600 rpm.
  • Max discharge pressure: 5 bar.

Operating Principle
The Epsilon disperser operates with a product tank in circulation, using the rotor's centrifugal effect to create a vacuum that draws in powdered solids. This process eliminates the need for external vacuum generation and reduces energy input, resulting in less product warming.

System Integration and Options
  • Compact installation and operation on one level.
  • Continuous batch production with multiple tanks and mills.
  • Turnkey plant design and modernization.
  • Options for explosion-proof models and process control integration.

Applications
  • Digital Inkjet: Improved printability and stability.
  • Water-based coatings: Better fineness and deaeration.
  • Solvent-based clear coats: Enhanced fineness and temperature control.
  • Predispersion for grinding: Optimal wetting and consistent quality.

Epsilon Inline Disperser-2

The NETZSCH Epsilon inline disperser is unique on the market. Dispersion does not occur according to the conventional rotor-stator principle, in which high shear forces and a high energy input are used to disperse powder in liquid. The dispersion principle of the NETZSCH Epsilon has no stator through which the product flows, and no narrow shear gaps between the rotating and stationary parts. The resulting benefits are also unique: ■ Minimal warming of the product ■ Minimal input of shear forces ■ Deaeration of the product following powder intake ■ Insensitive to smaller foreign objects ■ High...

Epsilon Inline Disperser-4

Operating Principle The Epsilon works together with a product tank in circulation. After the machine is started, the liquid flows to the Epsilon and is pumped back into the tank. Due to the strong pumping action of the rotor, a strong negative pressure is created in the process chamber of the Epsilon. This vacuum is used to draw in the powdered solids. No external vacuum generation or addition of external air is necessary. Powder that has been prepared in a hopper, silo, bag loading station or BigBag station is automatically drawn in by the machine when the powder feed is opened. After the powder...

Epsilon Inline Disperser-5

All powders contain air. The amount of air contained in the powder is the ratio of the bulk density to solid density and can be from 75 to more than 90 percent by volume. For a good dispersion result, this air must be completely replaced by liquid and the particles separated. In the state of expanded air, the powder is drawn directly into the liquid and surrounded by it. As the process continues, the powder enters the outer region of the process chamber in which there is a strong overpressure due to the centrifugal effect of the rotor. Here, the previously expanded air is strongly compressed...
