Agitated Vessels for Paints and Coatings
Agitated vessels for paints and coatings are specialized mixing systems designed for pigment dispersion, resin blending, and coating formulation. These vessels provide the high-intensity mixing required to wet, disperse, and stabilize pigments while blending resins, solvents, and additives into uniform coating products.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for Paints and Coatings?
Paint and coating production requires agitated vessels capable of intense pigment dispersion and thorough ingredient blending. Proper mixing develops color strength, prevents settling, and ensures consistent application properties. High-shear dispersion breaks down agglomerates while gentler blending incorporates sensitive additives.

Agitated Vessels for Paints and Coatings FAQs
What disperser designs are used for paint production?
High-speed dispersers with sawtooth blades provide intense shear for pigment wetting and dispersion. Blade diameter, tip speed, and blade design are selected for specific pigments and viscosities. Media mills provide finer dispersion when required. We design complete dispersion systems for your products.
How do you prevent settling in storage and let-down vessels?
Settling prevention uses low-shear agitators maintaining gentle circulation without air entrainment or excessive power consumption. Proper impeller selection keeps pigments suspended while avoiding overmixing. Tank bottom design and agitator placement prevent dead zones where settling could occur.
