High-efficiency mixing, pumping, and transfer machinery engineered to optimize chemical additives, silicone suspensions, and solids dispersion for release paper and release film production.
By transforming dynamic hydraulic pressure into kinetic suction, the Jet Mixer achieves continuous in-line ingestion of powders without aerating the release coating matrix, preventing micro-bubble defects on ultra-smooth PET and paper substrates.
The intense shear field generated within the mixing chamber shatters particulate aggregates into discrete sub-micron particles, ensuring flawless coating smoothness, consistent release force ratings, and uniform cure kinetics across high-speed web coaters.
Transition effortlessly from intermittent batch mixing to high-throughput continuous inline blending, saving up to 40% on additive raw materials, drastically reducing tank footprint, and slashing batch cycle times by more than 65%.
In solventless silicone release coatings, platinum-catalyzed thermal curing systems require strict homogeneity between vinyl-functional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers, crosslinkers, inhibitors, and anchoring additives. A Solids Control Jet Mixer facilitates the rapid, micro-controlled addition of silica-based anti-mist additives and specialized release modifiers. The controlled shear profile minimizes degradation of delicate molecular structures while ensuring that anti-misting agents are completely blended without forming air entrainment that leads to pinhole voids at line speeds exceeding 800 m/min.
Release base paper (such as supercalendered Glassine and Clay Coated Kraft) requires dense, defect-free barrier layers to prevent costly silicone strike-through and solvent penetration. Jet Mixers blend water-soluble polymers (PVA, CMC, modified starches) and delaminated clays at solids contents exceeding 60%. The immediate wetting eliminates unhydrated gelatinous clumps that cause streak defects on doctor blades, slot dies, or gravure cylinders.
As the release liner market expands toward ultra-thin PET films (12µm - 25µm) for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), die-cutting tapes, and EV battery electrode liners, the demands on solids control equipment have intensified:
| Operational Metric | Traditional Open Impeller Tank | Solids Control Jet Mixer System | Impact on Release Paper / Film Production |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydration & Wetting Rate | Slow, relies on random vortex turnover (30-90 min) | Instantaneous at Venturi nozzle entrance (< 2 sec) | Eliminates agglomeration, boosts line productivity by 300% |
| Air Entrainment & Bubbles | High vortex air intake; requires extensive defoamers | Closed suction loop; sub-surface discharge prevents aeration | Zero pinhole defects; reduces defoamer additive costs |
| High-Solids Handling | Limited to 45%-50% solids without motor overloading | Capable of handling 65%+ solids smoothly | Less water to evaporate in drying tunnels, saving huge energy |
| Batch Consistency | Prone to dead zones and bottom sediment cakes | 100% homogeneous recirculation through continuous shear | Guarantees identical release values (cN/25mm) from roll to roll |
Tailored for complex slurry transfer, clay dispersion, heavy solids separation, continuous mixing, and clean recycling across chemical processing and release substrate lines.
