ULTRA-TURRAX UTL
The IKA® ULTRA-TURRAX UTL 2000 is a high-performance single-stage
dispersing machine used for the production of emulsions and suspensions
in continuous operations. The UTL 2000 uses the rotor-stator principle
and is best suited for continuous applications that cannot be
accomplished using conventional stirring methods.
The UTL single stage dispersing machine is equipped with a high flow
mixing tool that provides moderate shear for the general purpose of
blending and homogenizing processes. In order to configure the UTL to
meet a variety of application needs, IKA offers a wide selection of
generators for all machine sizes. Different generator designs allow
adjusting the level of dispersing energy. In addition, they are also
designed to accommodate materials of different viscosities and initial
particle size.
The ULTRA-TURRAX in-line machine UTL uses similar shear principles as
the popular ULTRA-TURRAX machines UTC for batch operations. The UTL can
be used for single pass operations or in a recirculation loop with a
batch tank or reactor. Minimized volume of the mixing chamber ensures
uniform shear on the product. In batch process the machine UTL is
arranged in recirculation over a mixing vessel
During the full continuous process the components to be mixed are fed
into the machine at an appropriate rate through various inlet
connections. These components are then thoroughly mixed, dispersed or
homogenized within the machine and discharged from the machine through
the outlet. Thus, all particles or droplets are treated producing a
narrow particle or droplet size distribution with minimal
concentration/quality variations. Additionally, the UTL 2000 creates a
pumping action which can be used for transfer purposes at low to
moderate viscosities with a maximum of about 20 m (ca. 2 bars).
The high shear dispersing machine ULTRA-TURRAX UTL 2000 is available in
eight sizes. The possible throughput varies from 50 l/h up to 125,000
l/h. All sizes of machines work with the same circumferential speed of
the rotor which provides for a reliable scale-up.
IKA® engineers and application experts are available to assist you with
selection of machine type and dispersing tool as well as provide you
with advice regarding installation of the machine into existing or new
process systems.
UTL Single Stage Inline Dispersing
The UTL is a single stage dispersing machine used for the production of
emulsions and suspensions requiring a coarse to medium particle size
with a narrow distribution. A wide variety of rotors-stator combinations
(generators) are available for adapting the machine to the application.
The UTL high shear mixer single stage dispersing machine is equipped
with a high flow mixing tool that provides moderate shear for general
pupose blending and homogenizing processes. The 2P generator can also be
used for materials that are shear sensitive, or particles that are too
large to process in traditional high shear mixing tools.
