Paints and coatings play a significant role in our lives; without them, life would be dull and even monotonous. Their role extends beyond color: they protect objects and structures from corrosion and deterioration, contributing to the sustainable use of resources. Special coatings can also reduce flow resistance or create a pearled finish that makes objects easier to clean and reduces contamination.
Paints and coatings generally consist of binders, fillers, pigments, solvents, resins, perylene, and additives. During production, these substances must be mixed homogeneously. Depending on the process step and boundary conditions, different agitators are used, including dissolvers.
Low-shear mixers in storage tanks help prevent coatings from separating. Paints and coatings may also require stirring during transport to their point of use. Geppert offers optimized mixing concepts for these tasks.
Our product range extends from agitators for drums, roll containers, and IBCs¹ through tripod agitators to agitators with retractable stirring elements. Whether mixing takes place in open or closed containers, during manufacture, storage, or transport of paints and coatings, Geppert offers a solution suited to the application.
