Paints, coatings and printing inks

ystral machines for mixing your dyes

In the coating and inks industry, the right mixer is essential to ensure an optimal product. The mixing and dispersing machines from ystral ensure your chemical products are manufactured in a smooth and safe process. All machinery and systems from ystral can be designed for ATEX compliance – a particularly important criterion in the coating industry.

Pigments, fillers, lightweight fillers, thixotropic and matting agents, resins and other solids are dispersed dust-free and without any loss in a matter of seconds using ystral mixers. Our process engineering machines and systems also support companies in the coating and inks industry in many other process steps.

Saving energy with more efficient process technology

State-of-the-art mixing and dispersing technology can significantly reduce energy requirements compared to conventional processes with agitators or dissolvers. Depending on the application, energy requirements can be reduced by up to 90%. Discover the eight key levers that manufacturers can use to reduce the energy requirements of their production processes and find out how processes can be implemented in an energy-efficient way using technologies from the mixing and dispersion technology specialist ystral.

Shortening process times

State-of-the-art mixing and dispersing technologies can dramatically shorten process times – this results in a significant reduction in energy requirements even with a higher output.

Minimising the use of grinders

Grinding times can be significantly reduced using state-of-the-art dispersion technology – in many applications, subsequent grinding can even be dispensed with completely.

Realising cold processes

Many processes, which previously had to be carried out at high temperatures, can be implemented by means of dispersing under high shearing and optimised pressure conditions.

Reducing space requirements

For the same output, a state-of-the-art mixing and dispersing system requires only 25% of the building volume that would be required if conventional technologies were used.

Achieving reproducible results

Reworking the product – previously common practice in the production of paints and coatings, for example – is no longer necessary when using state-of-the-art technologies, meaning the risk of faulty batches is also minimised.

Working on the best efficiency point

It is difficult to work at maximum efficiency with a dissolver, for example, but easy to achieve in a circulation process with state-of-the-art mixing and dispersing technology.

Optimising cleaning

Through optimisation and automation of cleaning processes and a size reduction of systems, the expenditure of time as well as energy for cleaning can be reduced.

Dispensing with intermediate storage

Using effective mixing and dispersing technology, the product can be transported directly to the filling station without the need for space and energy-consuming intermediate storage, which is otherwise often necessary.
