YOUR PROCESS MATTERS
With our intellectual assets working for you, Mixquip can solve most mixing challenges by integrating the combined years of experience in process, mixing and impeller design with technology to deliver the scientific knowhow required for your process. Our state of the art knowledge and technology centre located in Sydney Australia uses Computational Fluid Mixing software to model the effects of different impeller designs. This means our customers can achieve optimum results – no matter what the application. We offer a variety of mixing impellers designed for sanitary and industrial mixing applications. The purpose of the mixing impeller is important in achieving desire results through the transfer of energy provided by the motor to the product in the most efficient way in the least amount of time. View our mixing impellers below.
The Mixquip impeller design range covers almost every mixing application requirement. Maximum product yield, consistency, superior batch quality, smooth dependable operation and guaranteed process results are all hallmarks of Mixquip. Below shows Mixquip chart of mixing impellers from flow to pressure through to high-shear mixing requirements.
Axial flow impellers are used with low viscosity media and are excellent for blending and suspension duties. The flow pattern has a strong axial suction and bundled discharge stream in the turbulent flow range. The outlet jet stream is deflected at the bottom and reaches the surface in the wall area of the vessel. The liquid is accelerated in the propellor zone.
Radial flow impellers are used with a range of viscosity media and are excellent for gas liquid mixing and dispersion duties. The flow pattern is ideal for low level mixing. The liquid is accelerated via centripetal force outwards of the propellor zone until meeting the tank wall where flow is directed both upward and down to create effective mix patterns and movement. Multiple impellers required for tank geometries greater than 1:1.
Mixquip Gate style impeller are typically used with highly viscous materials and in the laminar flow range to disrupt the boundary layer adhering the vessel walls where heat transfer is required in both heating/cooling applications. Fingers or frames can be added to increase versatility of these impellers or combined with axial/radial blades as a countre rotating mixing system
Combined flow impellers used both axial and radial liquid movement and are suitable for use with non -Newtonian fluids covering a wider range of apparent viscosities. The impellers create strong fluid flow patterns which are deflected at both the wall and the bottom of the tank. This combined flow action is ideal for mixing in the transitional and laminar zones.
Mixquip’s high shear impellers are suitable for the blending and homogenization of liquid or similar or greatly varying viscosities, including the disintegration of solid and semi-solid materials. The high shear work heads are ideal for rapid size reduction of soluble and insoluble solids are the solution is dispersed through the mixer head at a great force causing consistent agglomerate free results.
• High shear mixing
• Fine grinding of solids and disperse of pigments
• Varying blade configurations
• High shear mixing
• Fine grinding of solids and disperse of pigments
• Varying blade configurations
Impellers are designed for your specific application as there is not one mixing impeller that can suit every mixing requirement and process. Below we focus on learning a little more about impeller technology and mixing action in order to help you find the right impeller choice for your needs.
At Mixquip, we cover a variety of mixing impeller products which are classified across 4 mixing action categories. Each impeller type converts the energy given from the motor in different ways, and knowing these types helps you select the correct impeller for your application. We have axial flow, radial flow, axial & radial flow combined, tangential flow as well as high-shear.
Axial flow pattern improves solid suspension and stratification providing top to bottom motion around the tank or mixing vessel. Radial flow pattern produces some high-shear due to the angle of the blades which is generally used for low-level mixing that take place in larger tanks where gas/liquid mixing and dispersion is required.
There are a number of different considerations that are required before selecting the best impeller choice for your application. The most important factor is viscosity as this can impact several aspects of impeller choice and design. The tank size, design and placement is also of consideration and lastly there is a choice of what material to use for the impeller which all will depend on what you are mixing and your desired results. As standard we use 316 Stainless Steel for the impellers as this is the most common and durable material, however on occasion we can specify other materials of choice. Our team are always available to help with impeller selection if you have further questions on out impeller options.
