Versator Operation and Process Actions
The principle of operation for the Cornell Versator is the same for all three (3) sizes of Versator. During operation, the material-in-process is drawn into the Versator Chamber under vacuum and travels through the Feed Assembly towards the center of the rotating Versator Disc. At the end of the Feed Assembly, the Spreader Ring spreads the material-in-process into a thin film on the Versator Disc’s surface. Centrifugal forces then drive the material-in-process towards the Versator Disc’s outer edge. While in transit, the rotation of the specially designed Versator Disc combines with the vacuum in the Versator Chamber to create an unusual combination of shear, turbulence, and frictional force on the material-in-process. Within fractions of a second, the material-in-process is constantly thinned and the entrapped bubbles are drawn to the film’s surface and broken. The Scoop Tube Assembly then picks up the material-in-process at the Versator Disc’s outer edge and discharges it from the Versator Chamber. The Versator’s operation is simple, but it can accomplish a variety of actions during the fraction of a second that the material is being processed:
Mixing/Blending • Deaeration • Defoaming • Degassing • Dispersion • Emulsification • Homogenization
Resulting in:	• An effective removal of entrapped air, foam, or gas • An efficient mixing, blending, homogenizing, dispersing, emulsifying action
Improve your Product’s	• Appearance • Composition • Filling & weight in packaging • Process & Production Time • Quality • Shelf Life • Uniformity
The Versator’s unique process design	• does not apply mechanical pressure to the material-in-process • can work on any hot or cold flowable material • can work in continuous or batch process • creates minimal loss of product • is easy-to-clean with a low amount of maintenance • has few parts that are subject to wear
