Dilution Plants
The IKA DPV dilution plant is suitable for all those applications where
two or more liquids are to be quantity-based and homogeneously mixed by
using a one pass operation. The continuous process enables a highly
efficient and economical production
The core of the plant is a single-stage inline dispersing unit
ULTRA-TURRAX®, which is sufficient for the most standard applications.
When it comes to higher demands concerning dispersing quality, the
homogenizer can be replaced by a three-stage machine DISPAX-REACTOR® or a
colloid mill type MK.
The ingredients are metered with a high accuracy into the dispersing
unit by means of pumps that feature very stable characteristics. Various
sensors and an electric control with optional upgrades for the process
automation round out the entire unit. All devices of the plant are
arranged on a common base frame as a compact skid with full piping and
internal electrical wiring. The plant is tested for operation before
delivery and the requirements for the installation on site are herewith
minimized. After connecting the feed lines and utilities, the plant is
ready for operation.
The distinctive feature of the IKA dilution plant is the optimal
procedure of the dispersing process. The phases to be mixed don’t come
in contact with each other until right before the dispersing tool. This
entirely prevents unwanted reactions such as lump formation.
The main application of the standard IKA dilution plant type DPV is the
thinning of 70% lauryl ether sulphate (LES) down to a concentration of
approx. 28% during the production of liquid detergents. Due to the
delivery of concentrated LES and on-site dilution, transportation costs
are greatly reduced so that a DPV plant is amortized in a short period
of time. In addition, the unit provides high flexibility in the
adjustment of the concentration as well as for the formulation of
multiple ingredient mixtures. Whether it’s utilized for the production
of household dish liquid or of skin care products, the DPV plant has
proven itself many times over.
Depending on individual customer demands, the following options can be realized:
Manual or automatic control
Fully automatic starting and stopping sequence
Measurement and regulation of the single flow rates
Recipe management
Receiver tank for ingredients
Additive dosing
The IKA dilution plant offers the following advantages:
Considerable time saving due to the production of the mixture in one passage
Homogeneous and fully lump-free results as well as constant dispersing quality
No foam formation: The fully closed system excludes the intrusion of air into the mixture
Extremely low space requirements as large mixing and storage vessels are not necessary
High level of flexibility relating to the production quantities
The plant can also be effortlessly utilized when the starting materials possess strongly varying concentrations and viscosities
