magic LAB®

When do you use the DISPAX-REACTOR®?

- Due to its flexibility and its adaptability to the products to be mixed the DR-module is the one normally used- When single stage dispersing does not produce the fineness of particle distribution requested- For narrow distribution ranges after only one pass - For optimum homogeneity and stability of emulsions and suspensions (maybe 3 x 6F-generators to be used)

When is a mill used?

For wet or fine milling of hard and granular raw materials and for the production of finest emulsions and pastes.

The MK-module (Colloid Mill)consists of two cones with different flow channels on their surfaces. The cones can be shifted one against the other to a minimum distance, thus changing flow and friction. The particle size results from the adjustment of the milling gap.

The MKO-module (Cone Mill)is working according to the same principle as the MK-module. Nevertheless, the outlet area of its cones is coated with non-abrasive WCCO. This results in an enlarged friction surface that enables to produce even finer suspensions at reduced flow. Further technical details are the same as for module MK.

Continuous "solid/liquid" mixing

This module serves for continuous production of dispersions. The solids are quickly wetted, thus avoiding agglomerations. The mixture is homogenized and dispersed, resulting in a ready mixed product in only one pass. The mi-xing relation is controlled by volumetric or gravimetric dosing devices. Solids contents up to 80% and viscosities up to 50 Pas will be possible.

Dispersing in batch operation

- Especially for smallest quantities before swit- ching over to an inline system- For estimation of the necessary shear force- For quick determination of rheological changes such as structure, viscosity, etc.

From inline to batch device

Turn the magic LAB® upside down, give it an UTC tool kit and you can start making the pre-paration in a beaker glass.

Beaker glass sizes up to 1.5 l, special genera-tors on request.

Transport box

The IKA® magic LAB® is stored in a practical transport box. The different modules are placed in clear drawers with premoulded inserts. The drive unit itself can be taken out from the side. The electric plug-in connections to the magic LAB® as well as to the power supply are mounted on the back side of the box. For transport purposes the box is equipped with rolls and a telescopic hand lever that can be adjusted in length.Dimensions of the box: (L x H x W) approx. 350 x 460 x 560 mm.

Operation and information centre

The info centre of the magic LAB® offers a lot of functions, but is nevertheless designed in a very clear and operator friendly way. It only needs a few manipulations and adjustments and the magic LAB® is ready for operation.

First the operation and information centre is connected to the magic LAB® by means of a connection cable. The mains unit can either remain in the transport box or be placed separately. As soon as it is connected to the power supply, the starting screen appears in the infocenter. Via the push-buttons with arrow you can then choose the module of the magic LAB® and the speed range.

It is as simple to adjust the speed and the timer and read-off the actual speed.Moreover you can choose the language (Ger-man, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean).

Using the LabWorldSoft the magic LAB® can also be controlled from a computer and data can be transferred to a computer.
