- Typical capacity
- High-speed dispersers of this class are commonly used with batch volumes ranging from 200 to 1,000 litres, often directly into tote bins or process vessels.
- Power supply
- Units like the Greaves VHSD10 typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor ratings for this type of equipment often between 5.5 kW and 18.5 kW.
- Speed range
- High shear dispersers are characterised by variable speed capabilities, typically offering a range from approximately 200 rpm for gentle mixing up to 1,500-3,000 rpm for high shear applications.
- Construction material
- For hygiene and corrosion resistance, units in this category are typically constructed from stainless steel, with contact parts often in 304 or 316 grade stainless steel.
- Lift mechanism
- Electro-hydraulic lift mechanisms are standard for this type of disperser, allowing for precise positioning of the impeller within various vessel sizes and easy cleaning.
- Control features
- Common control features include variable speed adjustment, timer functions, and emergency stop, often with integrated motor protection.
