Standard Production Plant SPP250
- Due to its unique vessel geometry and integrated tilting mechanism, the SPP has the advantage of unlimited access to the internals and very low installation height. Concentration on the major process requirements enables easy access for all maintenance work or visual checks with a minimum space requirement.
- The robust anchor agitator with fixed flow breaker moves the entire batch volume even at extreme viscosities and serves for the basic mixing. A highly advanced scraper design keeps the vessel inner surfaces free from scaling and ensures the best heat transfer between product and double jacket.
- The DBI 2000 is the heart of the Standard Production Plant. Its innovative design ensures quicker processing times and optimum dispersing quality over an extremely wide range of viscosities, e.g. up to approx. 100 Pas without additional pump. The unique and patented IKA DBI 2000 involves a two-stage operation:
- The first stage has a specially designed pump rotor with high circulation performance that creates turbulence in the vessel for the blending and mixing purposes as well as sufficient pressure and throughput for CIP cleaning of the system.
- The second stage is equipped with a high shear rotor-stator system that ensures dispersions with narrow particle size distribution and consequently long-term stability. The design of the DBI and its outstanding flow rate creates a local vacuum in the dispersing chamber, which results in reliable inline feeding of the product components to the batch volume.
- Depending on the process requirements, an integrated valve allows the product either to be pumped without shear through the first stage only or to be processed and dispersed in the second stage. Flow rate and pressure of the DBI are more than sufficient to feed the spray nozzles of the integrated CIP system, thus no additional CIP-pump is required.
- The Standard Production Plant SPP series comes in 8 sizes ranging from 25 to 4,000 liters production volume.
