Although both dispersers and homogenizers are used for mixing and stirring equipment, they are different in working principle, application field and operation mode:
How it works:
Disperser: The disperser disperses solid particles or liquids into the liquid medium through a rotating agitator, dispersion disc or cutting knife to achieve particle dispersion and mixing.
Homogenizer: The homogenizer mixes solid particles with liquid evenly through a rotating stirrer or stirring blade to form a homogeneous slurry.
Application field:
Disperser: Disperser is mainly used in wet dispersion, mixing and homogenization of particles. Common application fields include pigments, dyes, coatings, inks, cosmetics, fine chemicals, etc.
Homogenizer: Homogenizer is mainly used in the homogenization and mixing of suspension systems. Common application fields include pulp preparation, mixing of chemical raw materials, and food processing.
Operation method:
Disperser: Disperser usually disperses and mixes at high speed, generating strong shear and centrifugal forces through the rotation of the agitator or dispersion plate.
Homogenizer: The homogenizer usually performs homogenization at medium or low speed rotation, and uniform mixing is achieved by the rotation of the stirrer or stirring blade.
To sum up, although both disperser and homogenizer are used for mixing and stirring equipment, they have obvious differences in working principle, application field and operation mode. The specific choice of equipment should be determined according to actual needs and process requirements.
