Dissolution of Solids

This mixing application is often misunderstood but crucial for rate transfer duties. To enhance solids dissolution, options include increasing power, using medium shear impellers like PBT, or heating tank contents. When dealing with difficult-to-wet solids, high shear is required, achieved through vertical flat blade turbines or high shear disk and hydroblade combinations.

Blending

Common in the chemical industry, blending requires consideration of mixer design to blend stratified fluids and maintain motion. Impeller selection focuses on high pumping rates and low drag factors, with the latest hydroblades offering both qualities.

High Viscosity / Low Fluidity

Mixing pastes and gels demands a specialized understanding due to the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids. Close cooperation with customers is essential to obtain the correct mixing system. Various combinations of impellers ensure high product movement and heat transfer, especially in viscous fluids.

Gas Dispersion

Effective gas dispersion relies on fluid velocity rather than impeller contact. Mixtec offers gas dispersion impellers tailored to different flow rates, ensuring uniform gas contact and better kinetics.

Heat Transfer

Impeller design plays a crucial role in heat transfer applications, providing high primary flow volume and ensuring good in-tank flow patterns. Despite common misconceptions, more motor power does not necessarily equate to better heat transfer.

Solids Suspension

Mixtec offers solutions for solid suspension applications, ensuring strong fluid flow to lift solid particles, even in tank corners. Our hydroblade proves efficient in solid suspension duties with its low drag factor and superior performance.
