At Kady International, our industrial mixers are engineered to deliver exceptional performance across a wide range of applications, and the production of paper coatings is no exception. With over 70 years of expertise in mixing and dispersion technology, we provide innovative solutions that enhance the quality and efficiency of paper coatings’ manufacturing processes. Our high-speed rotor-stator dispersion mills and custom mixing systems are tailored to meet the unique demands of this industry, ensuring paper coatings’ consistency, durability, and performance. This article explores how Kady International’s industrial mixers are utilized in crafting paper coatings’ superior properties, showcasing their critical role in modern paper production.

The company specializes in packaging inks. The mill will be utilized for dissolving solid resin, producing printing varnishes, dispersing extenders for flexographic inks and producing fine dispersions for solid white bases to name a few.

Custom milling and mixing equipment, such as those developed by Kady International, offer significant benefits for continuous processing systems, particularly in industries that require high-efficiency and high-quality output. These mills are designed to integrate seamlessly into continuous production lines, providing a consistent, uninterrupted flow of material. By using rotor-stator technology, Kady's equipment ensures precise and uniform dispersion of solid materials into liquids, resulting in high-quality products with enhanced texture and consistency.

In an exciting development for Argentina's ink sector, two cutting-edge mills from Kady International are set to revolutionize production at a leading ink company in the country. The General Ink factory (in Argentina) was introduced to us by a major US ink manufacturer that has been using Kady Mills for 40 years. This company just added a refurbished 500B to their Kady Mill line up!

Answer: Kady International Mills save on pigment costs with their high speed mixer through several key mechanisms:

1. 1. Improved Color Development and Dispersions: The high speed mixers from Kady International are designed to disperse pigments more effectively. This leads to better color development, which means that less pigment might be needed to achieve the desired shade, thereby reducing costs. The mixers can handle high solids content, dispersing up to 75% clay solids and 65% TiO2 solids, which allows for more concentrated mixtures and potentially less material use.
