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.
The Chemineer RL-3 impeller is designed for applications where a ragless agitator is desired to prevent fibrous material build-up on the rotating impeller.
Maintenance Benefits
Customer had to drain the basin and increase flow rate to other basins which required manual changes to the process
Outfitting personnel for basin entry and removal of fibrous material is eliminated
Disposal issues of fibrous material eliminated
Mechanical Benefits
Increased up-time of your plant
Reduces load on agitator system such as gears, bearings, motor, shaft, and impeller blades
Reduced vibration and increased life of agitator
Process Benefits
Increased process up-time and elimination of manual process changes
Elimination of fibrous material on impeller maintains top to bottom flow pattern which improves solids suspension and blending uniformity in basin
Reliable and consistent discharge within plant operating permit limits
