VSN Series Particle Composite Design System
The VSN Series is a dry-process particle composite design (PCD) system. It bonds host and guest powders through repeated mechanical collision, friction, and shear inside a sealed horizontal chamber — no solvents, no binders, no thermal treatment. Three processing modes — embedding, dry encapsulation, and spheronization — cover a broad range of surface modification requirements in a single vessel.

SPECIFICATIONS
| Model | Scale | Chamber Volume | Throughput |
|---|---|---|---|
| VSN-0.2 | Laboratory | 0.4 L | 3–10 min/batch |
| VSN-10 | Production | 10 L | 30–200 kg/h |
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
A rotor-blade-stator assembly rotates inside the horizontal sealed chamber.
- Repeated high-energy impact, friction, and shear forces act on all particle surfaces simultaneously
- High-velocity airflow maintains full powder dispersion throughout the cycle
- Product discharges in a single pass – no external classifier required
THREE PROCESSING MODES
- Embedding — Guest particles mechanically fixed onto the host surface. No melting, no sintering. Host structure preserved.
- Dry Encapsulation — Resin or wax-phase guest particles spread into a continuous film under impact energy. No liquid phase required.
- Spheronization — Irregular particles reshaped toward spherical geometry through sustained inter-particle contact. Bulk density increases systematically.
KEY FEATURES
- Solvent-free, binder-free, no thermal treatment
- Single-vessel operation — no intermediate transfer steps
- Direct scale-up: VSN-0.2 parameters transfer to VSN-10 without re-optimization
- Inert atmosphere compatible for oxidation-sensitive materials
