- 11. 11 NETZSCH MASTERMIX® Dissolver Dispersing units with high-speed dis- persion disk used for dispersing, fine distribution and mixing of solids in liquids Ease of operation reduces costs and expenditure of time Large selection of optional equip- ment for great process reliability Various easily-exchangeable dispersing tools for increased efficiency Mixing is one of the basic operations in mechanical processing engineering. In this way, at least two starting substances are combined into one substance that should be as homoge- neous as possible. The mixing process is commonly followed by de-aeration since, during the processing of liquid to highly-viscous Mixing, Dispersing, Kneading and De-aeration products, pockets of air or gas often cause problems. Pockets of air, hence oxygen, can have negative effects on the product (oxidation). In contrast, de-aerated products are usually more chemically stabile and more durable.
