How It Works: Rotosolver® Technology at the Heart of Optifeed
The exceptional performance of the Optifeed system is driven by the integrated Rotosolver high shear disperser. This advanced mixing head design combines a high-speed toothed rotor and slotted stator with the added benefit of high flow and circulation from dual rotor blades. This unique configuration creates a powerful four-stage mixing action:
1. Multi-Directional Material Intake: Product flow is drawn into the mixing head from both above and below. This immediately exposes even the most challenging powders, pulled from the top, to multiple mechanical shear zones.
2. Counter-Current High Turbulence: Converging counter-current streams within the stator generate intense turbulence and hydraulic shear, eliminating momentum loss within the stator.
3. Centrifugal Shear Zone: Centrifugal pressure forces material towards the stator, where it undergoes further shear from the strategically designed expanded slots.
4. High Velocity Radial Discharge: The high-velocity radial discharge combines with the slower moving tank flow, creating additional hydraulic shear and promoting complete circulation throughout the mixing kettles.
