Eliminates shear peaks, gains control over energy distribution with its Omega platform

Rob Roden, AVP and Global Head, Continuous Manufacturing Technology, STEER, said, "The Omega allows manufacturers to create brilliant effect pigment masterbatches. The production trials conducted at our Application Development Center in Bengaluru have given us phenomenal results.

"The root of all evil is SHEAR. The standard elements used by the industry today is brutal, it virtually reduces pigment particle size by half due to various inefficiencies and therefore quality of the compound is compromised. STEER brings a revolutionary platform for compounders and producers of end use products to be able to capture the full value and elegance of special effect pigments."

The Omega platform for processing special effect pigment is available in various sizes for defined output.
