• Deagglomeration & Dispersion

Microfluidics produces patented Microfluidizer processor equipment with high-pressure, fixed-geometry interaction chambers that impart high shear rates to product formulations. The M-700 generates up to 40,000 psi operating pressure for premium results at an affordable cost.

Key benefits:

• Increased reliability and reduced downtime from less stress.
  
• Significantly quieter operation
  
• Ensures the fewest number of passes; most processes require only 1 pass.

Key features:

• Proven to be highly reliable at operating pressures up to 40,000 psi in pilot and production environments.
  
• Generates the highest shear rates of any fluid processor on the market today. This results, most often, in achieving desired product quality in a single pass.
  
• Patented interaction chamber — wear-resistant construction; geometrically fixed design ensures that entire product stream will encounter equal energy per unit fluid volume.
  
• In-line cleaning with no disassembly required.
  
• All stainless steel construction.

M-700 Constant Pressure Applications

The M-700 CP series offers pilot and production performance levels with specific features amenable to industrial chemical processing of such materials as coatings, waxes, inks, pigments, sealants, etc. The M-700 CP utilizes our patented Microfluidizer® process to deliver the finest and most uniform distribution of submicron particle size at the highest shear rates available of any processor technology. Emulsions and suspensions are more stable, and the performance of your final products are superior.

Operating Principle

The digitally controlled constant pressure M-700 series Microfluidizer® high shear fluid processors achieve a nearly uniform pressure profile. Coupled with its proprietary fixed geometry interaction chambers, the constant pressure equipment ensures that all product is exposed to the same level of shear force. This means that fewer passes are required in production and translates directly to cost savings. Operating at constant process pressure also minimizes component stress, resulting in longer life and significantly increasing machine reliability.

The intelligent built-in pump position transducers automatically adapt to changing requirements and easily maintain constant process pressure. This full digital control of the dual high pressure intensifier pumps ensures that the product flows at constant pressure and velocities through the interaction chambers. This control eliminates pressure spikes, provides extremely uniform processing, and permits the M-700 CP system to operate more quietly and efficiently.

The constant pressure system offers an explosion-proof (XP/ATEX) version which utilizes an explosion-proof motor and sensors and incorporates control technology that automatically shuts the system down.
