The ILD
Inline Disperser

The ILD Inline Disperser utilizes rotor-stator technology to process inline/batch applications. It quickly produces homogenous mixtures, suspensions, and emulsions for a wide range of products including chemicals, foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and many others.

  • Compact size allows for simple integration with current process
  • Disperses and mixes simultaneously as product is sheared between teeth of rotor
  • Multiple inline configurations – single stage, dual stage, and more
  • Various rotor and stator sizes available to meet production needs

For a similar, but post-mounted option, find the VRS Rotor Stator. Need to process powders and liquids together? The ILD Inline Disperser Cart System is a common answer. For maximum shearing or particle reduction, browse our Media/Bead Mills.

How Does an Inline Disperser Work?

Inline dispersing is a highly efficient process used in various industries, including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more to create homogeneous mixtures, suspensions, and emulsions. The process involves drawing the product into the disperser where it is sheared between the teeth of a rotor and a stator. This shearing action effectively disperses, grinds, and mixes the ingredients.

The product enters through the front inlet and is subjected to intense shearing as it passes through the rotor-stator assembly. This action ensures that powders and liquids are uniformly combined, resulting in a consistent and high-quality end product. The ILD Inline Disperser offers various configurations, including single-stage and dual-stage setups, to cater to different processing needs. The discharge can be oriented to any direction, facilitating convenient integration into downstream processes. With its compact design and customizable features, the ILD Inline Disperser is an adaptable solution for diverse industrial applications.
