Helical ribbon impeller

for agitatorsaxial-flow

A screw impeller produces effective high viscosity blending of shear sensitive polymers. This impeller provides good top-to-bottom turnover. Although blending is generally good, heat transfer is not as good as the close clearance high viscosity impellers. The screw impeller is suitable for fluids which are not too pseudoplastic with power law indexes less than 0.5.
