Review of some new dispersing and mixing equipment

Of direct interest to readers of this journal, is a vibrational processing unit for laboratories which lends itself to scaling‐up. Basically, the unit is centred on the Megapact vibrational ball mill, which consists of two tubular, stainless steel chambers, oscillated at 2,800 cycles/min. Product to be processed is pumped through the oscillating chambers, to be subjected to hundreds of thousands of impacts, taken into a receiving tank and re‐circulated until such time as required to achieve the end‐product quality.
