Energy-Efficient Tank Mixers: How to Reduce Power Use Without Compromising Performance
Energy-efficient tank mixing starts with configuring the mixer for the required process result. At Dynamix, we select torque, impeller type, operating speed and impeller diameter together to provide the pumping and flow pattern the application needs. For blending and solids-suspension duties, an appropriately sized impeller driven through suitable gear reduction can deliver greater pumping capacity or achieve the required circulation with less power. This approach supports product uniformity, control of mixing time and efficient energy use. A properly designed tank mixer, with a verified mixing time, also gives operators the confidence to avoid unnecessary running while maintaining any mixing needed for suspension or other process requirements. Motor horsepower alone does not tell you how effectively a tank mixer will perform.
