The Spiral Stirrer is used at a low to medium speed in medium to high viscosity fluids. With an axial flow (drawing from the bottom to the top) the Spiral Stirrer is ideal for homogenous mixing and for cooldown phases with heat exchange from bottom to top. The Spiral Stirrer is very good for even distribution of particles (exfoliating beads, active particle beads) and pigments throughout a product. Can be used with sensitive materials. Suitable for emulsions, suspensions, gels, color cosmetics.
Important notification : if you purchased a turbo agitator tool from 300 range (ref. PC0038) prior to 01/05/2024, the spiral tool will not fit. You will need to purchase the new generation reduction box PC038.0.
This statif is intended to be associated only with the following MISCEO blockmotors : PC145 or PC165. Any other association shall make the person making the association responsible for compliance with the safety requirements in accordance with the regulations in force.
The Dissolver/Dispersion Tool with medium/high shear is used at a medium to high speed in low viscosity fluids to reduce particle size and break down agglomeration (clumping of particles forming a mass). With a radial flow (drawing from both the top and the bottom) this medium/high shear tool creates high turbulence and is ideal for particle fragmentation and dispersion. Ideal in low viscosity for dissolution of powders, homogenous pigment dispersion and use with materials that are not shear sensitive. Once particle reduction and agglomeration break down has been achieved you may choose to continue with a lower shear tool such as the Turbo Agitator Tool, the Anchor Stirrer or the Spiral Stirrer for the remainder of your product.
The Anchor Stirrer is used at a low speed in high viscosity fluids. With a tangential flow (moving fluid horizontally around the vessel) the Anchor Stirrer will not break/damage sensitive materials and is ideal for the distribution of high mineral content in fluids. Suitable for emulsions, suspensions, gels, colour cosmetics. Can be used with products that contain large particles or beads that you do not want to be broken. With little vertical flow you may use the anchor stirrer at very low speed for higher viscosity surfactant formulations (shampoos, body washes etc) to minimise foaming.
