      Most 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.

Tip Speed Definition and Formula

Tip Speed / Peripheral Speed

Blade Speed (tip speed), measures how far a point on the outer most edge of the disperser blade travels in a given amount of time. You may remember from early math classes that the circumference (perimeter) of a circle is equal to:

Blade speed for a high speed disperser is 5200 fpm (feet per minute).

Disperser manufacturers normally target between 4000 and 6000 fpm (feet per minute) for the tip speed of their dispersers. As with blade diameter, there are advantages to varying the tip speed of these dispersion blades. Higher tip speeds may produce superior grinds in difficult to disperse products or counter insufficient flow in high viscosity batches. Lower speeds will reduce the vortex in low viscosity batches.

From an operator's perspective, one blade may function adequately in several different diameter tanks, resulting in less operator intervention.

Our Tip Speed Calculator addresses the most common uses of the tip speed equation.

Tip Speed - calculating tip speed based on a know blade diameter and rpm.
RPM - calculating rpm needed to develop a desired tip speed with a know blade diameter.
Scale Up - Match the tip speed of one mixer to that of second disperser with differing blade sizes.

Tip speed = Pi*r*h
Pi = Area of circumference
r = radius
h = height of the RMG or Blender from bottom to top of till filling of materials

is it right.

Replied by: Stephen Schmidt On 02/09/2023 Tip speed is Pi * D *n

Pi = 3.14
D = Diameter of the blade
n = rotational speed of the shaft.

It does not vary with height, with material level.
