AVSp-100 Vortex Layer Device (Semi-Automated)
1 µm milling | Mixing | Portion | Semi-automated
GlobeCore is the world’s only high-tech company for production of operating vortex layer devices with real applications in the industrial sector which deliver the expected results.
The AVSp-100 vortex layer device (semi-automated) is designed for cyclic dispersion of multicomponent systems, as well as mixing of dry flowing materials (with the exception of explosive mixes); it can be used for the purposes of research in pilot plants with a wide range of products and small amounts of dry materials processed, as well as in laboratory conditions.
The AVSp-100 consists of a stand, an enclosure that contains the rotating field induction coil, a reaction chamber with a cooling jacket and a replaceable inset. The top part of the stand has a drive to move the reaction chamber.
On the front wall of the stand, below the reaction chamber, there is a desk for auxiliary operations. In the bottom of the stand, there are the cooling system elements for the induction coil: an oil tank, and oil pump and a heat exchanger. The semi-automated system is controlled from a control panel with the necessary monitoring and signalling devices.

What are AVS units used for, and what types are available?
Vortex layer units – AVS-100, AVS-150, AVSp-100, and AVSp-150 – are designed for efficient mixing, grinding, and disinfection of various materials. AVS units are used for wastewater treatment, in the rubber, electronics, mining, and food industries, construction, medicine, jewelry making, for intensifying chemical processes, grinding extremely hard materials (titanium, corundum, tungsten carbide), and other applications.
What is the operating principle of AVS units?
The AVS is an electromagnetic induction device. Small needle-like elements made of a ferromagnetic alloy are placed inside the inductor, where they move chaotically. As a result, they break down solid particles or promote intensive homogenization, extraction, or activation of the materials being processed. The unit also accelerates chemical reactions while requiring several times less reagents than other units operating on a similar principle.
What advantages do AVS units offer over devices operating on a similar principle?
AVS units process substances and materials dozens of times faster than ball mills, vibration mills, hammer mills, various grinders, and dispersers. GlobeCore units consume dozens of times less electricity than the equipment listed above. The average electricity consumption of the AVSp-100 is 4.5 kWh, while that of the AVSp-150 is 9 kWh, depending on the materials being processed and the chemicals used. In addition, a single AVS unit can perform various technological processes. For example, it can remove heavy metals from wastewater in one cycle and disinfect it in the next.
How does the AVS unit handle material grinding?
The GlobeCore unit can be used to grind various materials down to 0.1 microns and produce stable multicomponent emulsions. AVS units are successfully used at aluminum plants for the environmentally friendly processing of salt slag. The units are also capable of grinding quartz sand (from 100–1,000 microns down to several dozen microns or even just a few microns), which accelerates the production of microcement, dry construction mixes, sand-lime bricks, and glass. The AVS can restore the properties of caked cement and grind coal for the production of coal-water fuel. The GlobeCore unit can also produce various types of micropowders and perform additional grinding of rocks to increase mineral extraction efficiency.
In what cases is the use of AVS units not advisable?
During operation, the ferromagnetic alloy elements gradually wear out. For example, the consumption of needle-like elements during wastewater neutralization is 0.25 g/m³. Iron particles enter the material being processed. Therefore, AVS units are not suitable for producing certain types of pigments and products. However, they are suitable for drinking water treatment, as the iron content in water after treatment in an AVS unit remains below the maximum permissible concentration of 0.3 mg/L.
