Road Marking Paint Quality With Integrated Tote Mixers

Line painting presents unique mixing challenges that require innovative solutions. At Dynamix, we’ve spent years developing our Integrated Tote Mixers (ITM) line to meet these challenges. Our mixers and agitators solve numerous quality problems for road marking paint. These problems range from product uniformity and cross-contamination to skinning.   Why Mixing Matters for Road Marking Paint For both private and municipal clients, line painting requires uniform paint composition to ensure quality. During shipping and storage, the solids in road marking paint will separate and settle. Without proper suspension, the paint will have an uneven pigment distribution and fail to meet quality standards. Private clients will be dissatisfied with the inconsistent appearance of the final product. Municipal clients have stringent quality

Key Factors to Lime Slurry Usage in Water Treatment Processes

LIME SLURRY USAGE FOR WATER TREATMENT PROCESSES   FACTORS TO CONSIDER   What is Lime? Not to be confused with the lime you find in your local produce store, Lime is a commonly used chemical for wastewater treatment and can be slaked when water is added and turned into slurry. The use of lime in its various forms has been steadily on the rise. Today lime is the most important chemical used throughout the world for pollution control. It is, therefore, imperative that handling and processing lime be well understood by all those who use this chemical. The Lime used in the water treatment industry is referred to as either quicklime (CaO) or hydrated lime (Ca(OH)², which is hydrated in

Optimizing Polymer Mixing in Water and Wastewater Treatment

Optimizing Polymer Mixing in Water and Wastewater Treatment A major concern in water and wastewater treatment processes is identifying the most effective and efficient way to remove solid particles and other materials found in the liquid stream. The most effective method of eliminating unwanted contaminants is through the use of polymers in a sludge-creating process. Polymers are used to coagulate suspended solids and produce large curds of solid materials (floc) which are more easily removed from the water treatment stream. Polymers are available in a variety of forms and concentrations and are supplied as either dry powders or concentrated liquids.  Each variation presents unique challenges when sizing mixers. Dry Polymers: Polymers supplied in powder form must be wetted out which
