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.
Axial flow design suitable for wide changes in process viscosity.
A reasonably cost effective impeller in both turbulent and laminar flow. Good impeller for applications where the viscosity changes over a wide range causing the flow regime to vary between turbulent and laminar flow. A reasonably cost effective impeller for solids suspension.
