The main agent in the dissolution process is agitation. If the mixing speed is too slow, the polymer will not dissolve in water. Too fast and the polymer breaks down its fibrous structure, rendering it inactive. To overcome this problem, FREETA-α is designed to control the stirring motor. Additionally, the structure with many partitions ensures a sufficiently long retention time in the polymer solution line. The purpose is to completely dissolve.
After dissolution, the long twisted filamentous structure of the polymer must undergo a certain waiting time for this twisted structure to stretch. FREETA-α can be incubated at an optimal time of 30-60 minutes, depending on the machine capacity required. Dissolved polymer products have high viscosity, are bubble-free and contain no undissolved polymer particles. Concentrations ranging from 0.15 – 0.2%.
FREETA-α is available in many versions with different volumes to suit all your needs.
