Chemineer provides an array of impellers for a variety of applications in the chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, polymers and food and grain processing industries.
If there were only one mixing job to do, only one impeller would be required. However, there is a very wide range of problems in agitation, and the best impeller for one application may not be the best impeller for another. The descriptions and discussions below are intended as a guide for impeller selection. Relative impeller sizes are compared to the P4 at equal horsepower and equal speed.
Engineered for deep tank applications utilizing rolled blade design.
The Chemineer® SC-3 Impeller features an advanced design engineered for deep tanks. It produces flow characteristics of much larger impellers, without the added weight, or the resulting loss in pumping efficiency. The highly efficient SC-3 Impeller's reduced weight allows for the use of longer shaft extensions for deeper tanks, and resolves associated critical speed limitations. The use of an SC-3 impeller can produce an overall agitator cost savings as much as 33%.
