Dissolver for high-viscosity products through floor installation

Optimize production of ultra-high viscosity products with this versatile dissolver designed for seamless through-floor installation, enhancing batch consistency and reducing processing time across large-scale operations.

Mixes and Disperses High-Viscosity Batches

The KDV series from Wilhelm Niemann GmbH & Co. is engineered to masterfully handle the intricate demands of high-viscosity mixing and dispersion tasks in industrial settings. This through-floor dissolver is an indispensable tool for manufacturers in the chemical, paint, and varnish industries, offering dynamic batch processing capabilities from 2,000 to 15,000 liters. Equipped with a robust motor, available from 44 to 315 kW, and innovative frequency converter technology, it ensures precise control over rotation speeds ranging from 40 to 1,000 RPM. The dissolver excels in mixing, dispersing, and evacuating processes for products such as acrylic emulsion paint, epoxy coatings, and PVC flooring tiles. Its adaptable design allows seamless integration into existing production lines with options for semi-automatic and fully-automatic operations. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, it complies with ATEX Zone 0 standards for explosion protection, while offering various material choices for mixing containers. Customizable options like vacuum execution and cleaning systems enhance operational efficiency and maintenance.
