Mixing 101: Optimal Mixer Design

4 FACTORS FOR OPTIMAL CONFIGURATION Getting the right mixer for the job involves so much more than simply purchasing a standard unit off-the-shelf. There is an art to configuring a mixer that will optimize the results of an application. Selecting a mixer based solely on horsepower or RPM requirements can produce less than optimal results, and even damage your product through excessive shear. As we discussed in an earlier post, we first need to understand the 4 Factors for Configuring a Mixer, which are: Tank Type & Volume Fluid Viscosity Specific Gravity Environment & Process Once a Dynamix Sales Engineer understands these factors in relation to your application needs, we are ready to configure a mixer that will both maximize your investment

Mixing 101: 4 Factors for Configuring Your Fluid Mixer

Mixing 101: 4 Factors for Configuring Your Fluid Mixer Considering Mixer Configuration If you’re in an industry that includes fluid mixing in its processes, you probably know that finding the right fluid mixer for your needs is critical to maintaining quality control, reducing costs, and optimizing efficiency. The key here is to engineer a fluid mixer that addresses the specific needs of your process. When configuring a mixer for your process, your mixing engineer should consider the following 4 factors: Factor #1 – Tank Type & Volume This determines the amount of fluid your tank can hold. This is important because it will determine the size and position of the fluid mixer and its mounting. Factor #2 – Viscosity This

Optimize Industrial Mixing with Proper Mixer Mounting

Optimize Industrial Mixing with Proper Mixer Mounting Challenges of Mixer Mounting In a perfect world, the only industrial mixing projects we would ever work on would be applications in cylindrical tanks where we could center-mount the mixer. That, of course,  is not typically the case. Instead,  factors such as environment, process design, tank design, and process objective require different mounts. For this, we offer our 40+ years of experience and engineering to develop mounting options to address almost every eventuality. Ultimately, the mounting option is dictated by the need to manage the reactionary force generated by the mixer’s torque at the fluid level inside the tank. High viscosity liquids, or large volume tanks that require large diameter impellers, are examples

Mixing 101: 4 Impeller Types & Their Applications

Mixing 101: 4 Impeller Types & Their Applications The Importance of Impeller Selection We first mentioned impellers in our blog discussing 4 factors for configuring your mixer. In this post, we will look more closely at impeller types and their applications. The impeller is the component of a mixer that does the actual mixing and produces the results. That’s because when it rotates, it creates fluid flow and shear patterns. While there are many types of impellers, there are 4 main types we use when engineering mixers. The 4 Main Impeller Types 1. Airfoil Generally most efficient because it produces the maximum pumping with the lowest shear. Standard Dynaflow™ High Solidity Dynaflow™ for Gas Dispersion 2. Pitch Blade Ideal for
