CMS
The IKA CMS 2000 provides an extremely high suction capacity that is
ideal for wetting out difficult to mix powders. The high shear rotor and
stator provide a homogeneous, agglomerate-free product. The high
capacities of the CMS can greatly reduce process times. The CMS can be
installed in a once-through arrangement, or in a batch (re-circulating)
arrangement.

The CMS can be fed by loading the powders into each of the machines.
Powders can be manually loaded, or for semi- or fully automatic
operation, a conveyor, pneumatic loader, or other transfer system can
load the solids.
Powders can be suctioned out of a bag or bin with a suction wand. The
CMS minimizes handling of the powders, avoiding contamination. The CMS
also reduces man-power requirements by making it easy to feed in the
solids.
Incorporating powders into liquids, without lumps and without dust, is
an important part of many processes. The CMS 2000 utilizes a specially
designed rotor that creates enormous suction to draw in solids, while it
pumps the liquid at the same time. The liquid can then be re-circulated
until all powders are incorporated. Even difficult to wet out solids
can be incorporated at high flow rates. In some cases, solids
concentrations of up to 80% can be achieved! Additional dispersing can
be accomplished by continually re-circulating without adding more
powder.
