Used disperser mixers for sale: high-speed blending for pigments, emulsions and viscous liquids

Shop used, surplus and secondhand dispersers from IPP – in stock for coatings, chemicals, inks and personal care production

Achieve uniform dispersion fast with IPP’s ready-to-ship disperser mixers for high-shear applications

Used dispersers are high-speed mixers designed to rapidly incorporate powders, pigments or immiscible liquids into a base fluid. These mixers are ideal for creating uniform dispersions, stable emulsions and consistent viscosities across a range of products. With more than 47 years of experience in process equipment, IPP supplies used, secondhand and surplus disperser mixers from 20 global process plant sites and maintains a massive inventory of 15,000+ systems ready to ship.

IPP carries disperser mixers from top brands like Hockmeyer, Myers, Schold, IKA, Charles Ross & Son, and Morehouse Cowles.

Applications and industries

• In paint and coatings, for pigment dispersion, resin mixing and viscosity adjustment
• In adhesives and sealants, for uniform polymer blending and filler distribution
• In cosmetics and personal care, for lotions, gels and suspensions requiring particle breakdown
• In chemical and specialty formulations, for waxes, slurries, and emulsions with fine particle targets

Types of materials processed

• Powders like titanium dioxide, carbon black and silica
• Liquids of varying viscosities including oils, surfactants and resins
• Semi-solids that require quick deagglomeration
• Shear-sensitive materials that benefit from rapid but controlled dispersion

Common materials of construction

Dispersers must withstand mechanical stress, abrasion and chemical exposure:

• 316L stainless steel for sanitary and corrosion-resistant use
• Carbon steel for general-purpose industrial applications
• Explosion-proof motors for volatile solvent environments
• Jacketed vessels or shafts for heating/cooling during mixing

Key features of disperser mixers

• High-speed saw-tooth blades for aggressive mixing
• Hydraulic or pneumatic lifts for raising/lowering the mixer head
• Variable-speed drives for precise shear control
• Tank-mounted, portable or inline options
• Compatibility with sealed or open vessels for different environments
