Disperser & Homogenizer

Proven and precise technology for homogenizing


The IKA range of dispersers are used for volumes ranging from 0.5 to 50,000 ml (H2O) and come equipped with a digital display. These homogenizers offer a wide speed range up to 30,000 rpm that enables users to work at high circumferential speeds even with small rotor diameters. The high performance drive ensures immense speed stability. Due to their broad spectrum of dispersing tools, IKA dispersers are highly effective for a variety of uses.

The Complete Homogenizing Portfolio

The IKA T-series, globally renowned by the trade name ULTRA-TURRAX, has more than 70 years of history. The T-series range from the handheld T 10 basic to the flagship benchtop T 25 series and right to the floor-standing T 65 series.

The IKA homogenizers use the principle of the rotor-stator where the shaft comprises of two components, the internal rotor which rotates at very high speeds during the operation of the disperser surrounded by the stationary stator. This results in an extremely high shearing effect as the sample passes through the rotor-stator head and the product can be sheared to very small particle sizes (min: 1 micron).

    Rotor-stator homogenizers are ideal for:

  • Making very fine emulsions
  • Dissolving immiscible samples in a liquid medium
  • High speed mixing of products
  • Preventing clumping of powders in a liquid medium
  • Powder wetting applications
Due to their versatility of use, homogenizers are an indispensable instrument to process samples in a variety of industries such as food, chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and agriculture.

BRUSHLESS MOTOR TECHNOLOGY

Brushless Motor Technology

MINI DISPERSERS

Compact but powerful — the ideal dispersers for operating under tight space constraints with low-viscosity mediums. The mini dispersers now feature a larger illuminated display, timer/counter functions, and even offer the possibility to automate the homogenisation process.

The T 25 mini control, in particular, features a complete suite of interfaces for automation and data logging, allowing compatible communication to a wide range of systems — making it the smartest disperser in its class.

Dispersing Tools

DISPERSING TOOLS

IKA dispersing technology works by using the rotor-stator principle. The system consists of a rotor within a stationary stator. Due to the high circumferential speed, the medium to be processed is drawn axially into the dispersion head and then forced radially through the slots in the rotor-stator arrangement. The high speed and minimal gap between the rotor and stator produces extremely strong shear forces, resulting in better dispersion within a very short time frame.

A wide variety of rotor-stator configurations and seals are required to process different mediums. To adapt the device to specific needs, two dispersing tools are sometimes necessary for achieving coarse to fine particle size reduction. The quick-connect coupling facilitates easy exchange of dispersing tools.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions for Disperser and Homogenizer

What does "continuous operation" mean for dispersers? Are 4 hours OK?
4 hours equate to continuous operation. A further particle size reduction with rotor-stator systems does not happen after more than 15 min. Only heat (due to friction) is transferred into the medium. For the drive itself, continuous operation is not a problem.
Due to the technical data, the ambient temperature of a disperser is 5 – 40 °C. What can be done, if the sample requires higher temperatures?
The prescribed ambient temperature of 5 – 40 °C is only valid for the drive. Of course, it is possible to work in mediums with higher temperatures, e.g. a dispersing element with PTFE Bearing (N) can be used in mediums up to 180 °C.
Is it possible to disperse abrasive materials such as sand, glass or similar material?
In general, it is possible to disperse abrasive material, but a frequent change of the bearing is necessary. In addition, the shaft and spindle can wear off very quickly under these conditions.
Is it possible to disperse frozen samples?
Yes, in general this is possible if the sample is processed in liquid. However, it is not possible to work with liquid nitrogen.
The teflon seal (PTFE) of my dispersing element is ripped. Can a new one be ordered?
Those PTFE parts are slotted and it is not a defect. They are used as a bearing. If necessary, a new seal may be ordered from the spare parts list.
How often can the disposable dispersing elements for the T 10 basic, T 18 digital and T 25 digital be used?
The disposable dispersing tools are designed for single use only.
Does IKA offer high pressure dispersers?
Yes, it is possible to work under a pressure of up to 6 bar with dispersing tools having "KV" in their product description. IKA also offers high pressure homogenizer systems with our process division.
How can foam formation during dispersion be avoided?
To avoid this scenario, a ULTRA-TURRAX® disperser with KV, KD or KG-HH tools is recommended. These tools are closed systems, which avoid the generation of foam.
The ULTRA-TURRAX® dispersing elements should not run dry. Does that mean that the bottom bore hole has to be in the medium?
Yes, the circulation hole should be in the medium on all accounts. This is the only way to guarantee the optimum cooling effect on the internal bearing to prolong its longevity.
Which is the right dispersing tool to crush vegetables and fruits? How should one clean this properly (sterile)?
The Saw Tooth (ST) dispersing tools and a T 50 digital with cutting head S 50 N - W 65 SK are suitable for this application. The tools can be cleaned e.g. with acetone or every commonly used sterilization method.
