Mixtec agitators are purpose-designed for solvent extraction, ensuring effective phase dispersion and reliable mass transfer between aqueous and organic phases. Our systems deliver high pumping capacity, low shear mixing, and stable operation to prevent emulsification and air entrainment.

Each stage of the SX process – extraction, scrubbing, stripping, and regeneration – requires precise control of mixing intensity and flow. Mixtec designs impellers and configurations to suit each step:

• Extraction: fast mass transfer without emulsions
• Scrubbing: impurity removal with clean phase separation
• Stripping: complete metal recovery while protecting organic integrity
• Regeneration: gentle cleaning and stabilising of the organic phase for reuse

Mixtec agitators are engineered for safe handling of hazardous chemicals, with sealed drive systems, corrosion-resistant materials, and designs that minimise operator exposure. They perform reliably in demanding environments while reducing maintenance and downtime.

Mixtec provides efficient, durable mixing solutions that improve throughput, product quality, and overall plant performance across metallurgical and hydrometallurgical applications.
