Explosion Proof Motors on Industrial Mixers and Utility Mixers

Industrial mixers and utility mixers are used in many applications. Some environments where the motors are used may be working in the presence of volatile dust or gas vapor in the air, or volatile vapors from the product itself. The industries that inquire about explosion-proof motors on our mixers include the paint, pharmaceutical, chemical, and mining industries. These are just a small fraction of industry sectors we service that demand this safety feature on our mixer configurations. There are various standards for explosion-proof motors throughout North America, Europe, and other continents. Explosion-proof motors for electric driven mixers are available for industrial mixers at Dynamix and are manufactured in Germany or North America. These great motor manufacturers build motors that meet

Solid Suspension Mixing -Product Settlement and Separation Challenge? Consider Proper Mixer Configuration

Having product separation and settlement challenges in your application or process? These are key quality control issues for many Plant Managers, but mixers are rarely singled out as the source of the problem.

With this as a basis for discussion, we optimise the quality control in your batch or process mixing. This will take one of the variables out, and one that is commonly overlooked. So, ask yourself if you have any mixers that are simply overlooked, and give us a call. Your mixing should achieve

Coagulation and Flocculation Process and Mixing Essentials

Coagulation & Flocculation PROCESS MIXING ESSENTIALS Wastewater has particulate matter which must to be removed before further treatment and clarification, these particles (colloids) are negatively charged. Such particles are very minute and take a very long time to settle.  The help increase the time for these particles to settle from a weeks or hours to a few minutes the coagulation process has to be applied early in the water treatment stage. Generally the coagulation stage happens after the Ph adjustment stage, where the water is adjusted to be more alkaline, so that additives like aluminum sulphate or ferric sulphate (trivalent coagulants) can be effective for coagulation and flocculation process. Coagulation Process The objective is to create microfloc from particulate matter,
