Industrial Mixers
-
-
INDUSTRIAL MIXERSMost chemical processes involve mixing. As diverse as manufacturing is the mixing operations and requirements vary greatly. Mixing requirements include liquid blending, solid suspension, pigment dispersion, and these operations can be complicated by product viscosity. We offer a broad selection of industrial mixers for all your mixing needs. From small portable mixers and lab dispersers to low-speed agitators and high-speed dispersers through multi-shaft mixers and planetary mixers we offer mixers to handle the toughest mixing problems.

PACKAGING EQUIPMENTOur packaging systems include denesters, single and multi-head fillers, automatic PLC-controlled conveyor systems, labelers, lid placers and closers as well as cappers for hands-free operation. In addition many systems include touch screen HMI with recipe storage and SPC with check-weigh data logging and Ethernet connectivity to deliver the highest accuracy, consistent fills, and maximum throughput.

Disperser Horsepower Formula
Typical power requirements are in the range of 10 HP per 100 gallons of product.
Of all the "Rules of Thumb" the issues resulting from this pose the most severe issues. While not difficult to calculate, Blade Horsepower, does not correlate well to a simple Volume to power relation. Most disperser manufacuters' rely on a modification of the agitator horsepower relationship:

Np the power number varies with blade type and Reynolds Number.
The mixer power equation works well for predicting power requirements, however, as batch size grows power requirements tend to fall below the 10 hp per 100 gallon rule of thumb. While it is true that retaining all the same ratios a 2 gallon batch will draw more power per gallon than a 2000 gallon batch, typically we need to perform a given amount of work on a product to achieve the desired results. Resulting designs typically require longer batch times with increased volume.
To offset this, we can move to narrower tanks and multiple blades to improve batch times.
