Daymax
A Unique High-Shear Processor For Dispersion,
Dissolving Emulsification
Unexcelled Productivity And Quality For
Large Volumes Of Varnishes
The quick turnover achieved by the DAYMAX
Disperser is ideally suited for manufacturing of
quality Inks, Paints and Varnishes. Cold cutting
of varnish process time can be cut as much as
50-75 over Std. Open Kettle units. The direct
drive design,allows the bladés input to go
directly into the batch. Quick Temp. rise yields
an improved cycle time.
Ideally Suited To Tough Applications In The
Food Pharmaceutical, Drug and Cosmetic Industries.
With Sanitary Construction and its inherent
design of the mixing tank for easy cleaning.
Major applications Gelatin Capules Fast
High Quality dispersion of fine
colorants. Gelatin Capsules/TiO2 and
Colorants TiO2 Various colorants are
rapidly dispersed into capsules
formulations High Speed Optimum Color quality.
Equipped with the top driven anchor wipe
Assy. It is capable of dissolve adhesives in
the 100 to 200,000 CPS and above. If
equipped for variable speed, it is an
unequalled processor of adhesives and
sealants.

Adhesives
Containment Of Costly Solvents.
The Closed-System design of the Daymax
means that solvents can be contained. This not
only saves raw material costs but minimizes
dusting problems and contributes to a cleaner
working environment.
Higher Quality Dispersions.
Ways in which the Daymax churns up profits for
adhesive producers.
Finer dispersions can be achieved in the
Daymax. Many times, the Daymax alone can equal or
exceed dispersions made with a dissolver and
additional refining equipment.
Up To 30 Times Faster Processing
Energy Efficient
Conventional Dispersers lose 20-25 of power
in transmission. The direct drive of the Daymax
utilizes 100 of the motor power. Result
Energy Savings.
Higher Viscosity Range.
With the Rotating-Baffle, can be used with
heavy viscosity adhesives, up to the 60-80,000
CPS range.
Easy Of Cleaning.
The Daymax is Self-Cleaning, which adds
to increase productivity due to fast cleaning
times.

Varnish
Captive Varnish Making Saves One Ink Maker
300,000 Annually.
How To Reduce Varnish Costs By 25
A medium-size East Coast inkmaker has
documented cost savings of 25 on his varnish
production using the Daymax. This translates
to a savings of up to 30 Cents per pound on
his annual production of One Million pounds
of final ink products. And, in
the bargain, he is attaining a superior
quality of varnish and eliminating varnish aging
problems.
Originally, the Daymax was designed for Mfrg.
Of aniline printing inks containing solid
synthetic resins dispersed hot or cold in
hydrocarbon solvents such as alcohol,
acetone, acetate, and toluene. Today, it is
equally efficient in the produc- tion of
heliographic and othe r water-based inks, litho
ink premixes, newspaper inks, heat-set
offset inks and a variety of varnishes.
Absolute Safety.
The Daymax disperser/mixer, utilizing a closed
proc- essing system, assures operating safety
throughout the range of inkmaking operations.
This is especially critical for In-House varnish
production where explo- sions involving
gas-fired open kettles are not quite uncommon.
The Daymax unit is a smart investment even
without considering its cost saving features.
Unexcelled Productivity and Versatility
The Daymax will disperse much faster than
dissolvers or comparable high speed mixers
2 to 10 times faster. One ink producer
reports dispersing water based flexo-inks in
30 Minutes, as opposed to the One Day and
a Half it took in a ball mill, with
better quality. .

Pigment Blends Daymax Advantages Against
Top Driven Dissolvers
On a typical example, one plant replaced
several top entering dissolvers and
Three-Roll-Mills with considerable savings in
time labor, improvement in quality and in
batch-to-batch uniformity. Daymax units are
dedicated for different colors to minimize
cleaning cross contamination. Previously, 1
Hour 45 Minutes was required to prepare 700 Lbs
through a top entering dissolver and
Three-Roll-Mills. Now they can prepare 7,000 Lbs
TiO2 dispersion batch in 4 Hours. Because of
the nature of operation, more than 50 of the
time is used up in loading the materials. The
mix is run for additional time after
loading, to obtain a dispersion of 4 on Hegman
gauge. As a rule of thumb, this plant allows
about 1/2 Hr of extra mixing time per 1,000 Lbs
of solids in the mix, after all the solids have
been added. Chilled water at 45 to 50 F is
circulated in the jacket. The maximum product
temperature reached during dispersion is about
175 F and is well within the allowable
limits. The Daymax prepares a dispersion of
TiO2 and other pigments in a plasticizer blend
and from here the dispersion is sent to a mixer
for compounding and then to a Banbury mill and a
calendering line. Good quality predispersed
pigment enables this manufacturer to obtain the
maximum color development. The resin compound
is plasticized in a Banbury and the calendering
line is used to produce the vinyl sheeting.
The colored flexible vinyl sheets are used for
various end use applications such as upholstery.
10
Plastisols Daymax Advantages Against
Top Driven Dissolvers
For production of the highest quality plastisols
and organisols. This high shear disperser
thoroughly disperses the PVC resin and
extender pigments in the plasticizer in a minimum
length of time. No milling on three roll mills is
needed following the Daymax dispersion
cycle. You will get approximately a 2-3 gain in
actual yield when the Daymax is used in
dispersion. This increase is due to the fact
that there is not the usual loss of product
caused by transferring it to and from several
vessels and machines. All viscosities except the
very highest are handled on the Daymax. Heat
build-up long a problem in plastisol
manufacturing, is minimized with the Daymax
because the dispersion cycle is generally
very short in comparison with that of other
methods. Heat does not have a chance to build.
Also, the unit is jacketed, for proper
temperature control.
LOWER INVESTMENT FASTER PRODUCTION LESS
MANPOWER ALL-IN-ONE TANK JOB LESS HEAT BUILD
UP
Single Daymax costs less than slow-speed mixers
with three-roll-mills. Batch compounded under
high shear drastically reduces batch times. No
milling personnel needed. Larger Batchs means
less manpower/Ton Higher Yields,2-3 higher.
Easier Clean Dispersion is accomplished so
rapidly that heat does not build up.
