Common Questions About the TVI Tank-Mounted Disperser

What is the TVI tank-mounted disperser? 

The TVI is a variable-speed, single-shaft disperser that mounts directly to the vessel and mixes solid particles into liquid. It dissolves, deagglomerates, disperses, and emulsifies materials, making it well suited to lower-viscosity products such as paints.

What viscosity range can the TVI handle?

The TVI handles viscosities from 1,000 to 50,000 cps. Its variable speed drive and frequency inverter let operators match the mixing action to the material, so the same unit can process both thinner and heavier formulations within that range.

How does the disperser blade work? 

The TVI uses a saw tooth blade rotating at high speed, roughly 5,200 feet per minute peripheral speed. The blade imparts high shear forces that break apart solid particles, and proper blade selection and sizing establish a flow that repeatedly turns the batch over until the product is homogeneous.

How is the TVI mounted to the tank? 

The TVI mounts to the vessel through a bridge or flange design. Rather than exiting the tank, the blade raises and lowers by several feet to control the vortex, using a square column and high-pressure lift system with a directional control valve.

What sizes and configurations are available? 

The TVI ranges from 5HP to 400HP and can be configured for TEFC or XP environments. Each unit is built with durable steel construction and custom vessel and lid designs to fit the specific application and manufacturing environment it serves.

Can the TVI be customized for specific processes? 

Yes. Beyond custom vessel and lid designs, the TVI can be fitted with a second blade on the shaft to boost dispersion efficacy, along with programmable control packages for repeatable, application-specific operation.
