Hydrocolloids which are generally known are mainly resins and thickeners such as alginate, carrageenan, CMC, gelatin, guar gum, broad bean gum, gum, starch and xanthan gum. Although these substances are composed of different components, the difficulty in hydrating these substances is the same. The hydrated colloid is highly prone to agglomeration, and the hemihydrate encapsulates the dry powder to form a mass. Traditional methods require experienced operators and long processing times to be filtered to produce a qualified product. Traditional methods are difficult to achieve full hydration. IKA high shear emulsification equipment has found a solution.
Advantages of IKN mixing and dispersing equipment for hydration colloid production
Reduce process time. The IKN stator system produces severe shear forces that can break up the agglomerates and expose the powder to liquids. Therefore, the operator can add the powder more quickly and rapidly hydrate it.
Reduce operators. The PLD and PLC mixers produced by IKN can add powders according to a specific ratio, and can be fully automatic continuous production by configuring a feed pump, a powder feeder and a PLC control.
Reduce production costs. Hydration colloids are usually one of the most expensive materials. Hydration solutions from IKN industrial equipment reduce raw material consumption by reducing waste. Glue manufacturers have also introduced "easy to disperse" hydration colloid products. IKN industrial equipment can handle all colloids, and users can choose low-cost colloids for processing.
