Mixing and dispersing technology specialist ystral at the European Coatings Show: innovative process engineering solutions for more energy and resource efficiency
Ballrechten-Dottingen / Germany – 19 February 2025 +++ The energy- and resource-saving production of lacquers, paints and coatings is the focus of ystral's trade fair appearance at ECS 2025. The European Coatings Show and Conference will take place in Nuremberg / Germany from 25 to 27 March.
At ECS, mixing and dispersing technology specialist ystral is focusing on the enormous efficiency gains that are possible in the production of lacquers, paints and coatings with innovative process technology. “We would like to enter discussions with manufacturers in these industries about how they can significantly reduce the energy and resource requirements of their processes – and how we can support them with our technologies, our in-depth industry knowledge and our expertise, which has grown over decades,” says Dr. Hans-Joachim Jacob, Senior Expert Process and Applications at ystral.
In hall 4 (booth no. 4-553) the company is presenting two technologies, the powder wetting and dispersing machine YSTRAL Conti-TDS and the YSTRAL Jetstream Mixer, which enable energy and process time savings of up to 90% compared to the agitators and dissolvers commonly used in the production of lacquers and paints.
30,000 times higher volume-specific power with the YSTRAL Conti-TDS
In the YSTRAL Conti-TDS, a vacuum and very high shear forces are concentrated in a very small volume. The vacuum separates the particles and then disperses them at a shear rate that is 1,000 times higher and with a volume-specific power that is 30,000 times higher compared to conventional technologies. “The result is significantly shorter process times, lower energy consumption and temperature rise, the highest quality and significant savings in costs, raw materials and space requirements,” says Jacob.
100% homogeneity with the YSTRAL Jetstream Mixer
YSTRAL Jetstream Mixers rely on a consistently vertical mixing principle and combine a turbulent micro-mixing zone in their mixing head with an almost turbulence-free vertical macro-mixing of the entire vessel contents. Unlike when a conventional agitator is used, the product is actually completely homogeneously mixed at the end of the mixing process – without unmixed zones, without sediments – and consistent results are achieved regardless of the batch size.
