VHS High-Speed Disperser Features
Versatile Motor Options
With sizes ranging from 3 to 300 HP, the VHS High-Speed Disperser provides the power needed to tackle tough materials, including high-viscosity applications. Whether you’re working with light fluids or dense mixtures, the motor options ensure consistent and thorough processing.
Robust, Stable Design
The computer-analyzed structural design of the VHS ensures stability, even at high speeds. This minimizes vibration and allows for uniform dispersion, eliminating issues like particle clumping or uneven mixing.
Adjustable Tub Holder
The quick-adjust tub holder accommodates various mix vessel diameters, offering flexibility for different batch sizes. A pneumatic chain-locking mechanism keeps the vessel secure, ensuring consistent performance without disruptions.
Advanced Safety Engineering
To address the risks associated with high-speed dispersing, the VHS High-Speed Disperser includes telescoping shaft guards, double-handed lift actuation, and multiple safety switches. For added protection, an optional integrated lid design is available, creating a safer working environment for operators.
Precision-Tuned Shaft
The stainless or carbon steel shaft is precision-machined and balanced to ensure minimal run-out during operation. This accuracy prevents excessive heat generation and ensures even particle distribution for a consistent, high-quality result.

What is High-Speed Dispersing?
Ideal for applications such as paints, inks, coatings, adhesives, and sealants, high-speed dispersing ensures consistent texture, color, and stability in the final product. By optimizing mixing time and energy use, this process supports production for both small and large batches across diverse industries.
Need maximum particle reduction? The VHS High-Speed Disperser is common as a pre-mix step before running the product through a media/bead mill. For milling equipment options, check out our EMI Mills division. Between Schold and EMI, we can engineer a complete process system to suit your requirements.
High-Speed Dispersing Challenges
Addressing these challenges requires precision-engineered equipment capable of delivering consistent results while maintaining efficiency and safety, such as the features offered by the VHS High-Speed Disperser.
