1INTRODUCTION
KINEMATICA is a specialist for design and manufacturing of dispersing and mixing
machines. The aim of this document is to instruct new users in the effective and safe
utilization of our equipment.
The KINEMATICA Inline homogenizing system MEGATRON®MT 3100 S² has been
designed and manufactured according the EC guidelines, the actual technical
standards and applicable safety rules and is marked with the CE mark.
This document is valid for the KINEMATICA Inline homogenizing system
MEGATRON®MT 3100 S².
The system is designed and manufactured for the intended application consisting of:
•In-Line processing of flowable and pumpable products under the considera-
tions and limitations given in the “Technical Data”.
•The processed media must be compatible with all constructional parts wetted
by the product.
•If suitable precautions to personnel are taken to prevent any harm due to
noise emission.
•The use of the system with no structural, mechanical or electrical changes dif-
ferent from the original scope of supply.
Typical applications:
•Preparing emulsions
•Pharmaceutical or cosmetics products
•Suspending solids in liquids (such as liquid polymers)
•Dispersing fine solids in liquids or molten phases
•Suspending additives and solid polymers in mineral oils
•Extracting enzymes from biomass
•Extracting active ingredients and substances from plants, for example (when
used with REACTRON®)
•Grinding and shredding of solids and fibers in liquids or polymers
If the system is used for purposes different than or over and above the capabilities
specified herein, KINEMATICA does not guarantee proper function and assumes no
obligation or liability.
Should you have any questions which are not answered in this document, please

2.2 WORKING CHAMBER
The working chamber is a flow through in line chamber.
The working chamber consists of the following general parts:
•Bearing
•Mechanical sealing
•Inner chamber with dispersing generator and product inlet/outlet connections
•Cooling/heating jacket (if applicable)

2.2.1 DISPERSING GENERATORS
A dispersing generator consists of a rotor and a stator. Rotor and stator consists of
one or more teeth rows each for different levels of fineness.
Turning with high speed, the rotor creates inside the stator high mechanical shear
forces and shear stress resulting in size reduction and turbulent mixing of the pro-
cessed media.
The generators are exchangeable with different types for different particle sizes.
Please bear in mind due to operation the dispersing generator(s) belong to the wear
and tear parts.

2.2.2 MECHANICAL SEAL
The product side of the working chamber (inner chamber with dispersing generator)
has to be separated from the non-product or atmospheric side of the working cham-
ber. For that purpose, a single mechanical seal is installed inside the working cham-
ber.
The type and material combination of the mechanical seal has been chosen for the
application described in the contract and should therefore not be used for other pur-
poses without the permission of the manufacturer.
A mechanical seal is not allowed to run dry. Moreover, it has always to be lubricated,
flushed and cooled by a suitable sealing lubricant. The lubricant must also be com-
patible with the product and the materials of construction. The lubricant tempera-
ture has always to be 40°C below the boiling point to prevent any damages to the
sealing system.
In the case of a single mechanical seal, a pressureless quench liquid system (flow
through or pressureless tank) is used.
The standard working chambers for the MEGATRON®MT 3100 S² are equipped with a
KINEMATICA quench system TS1 (also available with vessel made of PTFE)

IF YOU DO NOT USE A QUENCH SYSTEM TS1, YOU HAVE TO
CONNECT A FLOW-THROUGH, UNPRESSURIZED COOLING
LIQUID PIPING (E.G. TAP WATER) AND A FLOW RATE ≤ 1 L/MIN
2.2.3 FITTINGS FOR PRODUCT INLET & OUTLET
The standard inlet and outlet connections at the working chamber are inside thread
G1/4”.
The MT 3100 S² working chamber is equipped with tube olive fittings Ø12/8 as stand-
ard. Other fittings available on request.
