A jet mixer is used where homogenizing, dispersing, suspending, emulsifying, dissolving are required. Its advantages compared with a conventional agitator are free of aeration, no floating powder, no sedimentation, no additional baffles, no flow dead zones, and very high efficient that a small motor can keep large volumes in motion.
It is distinguished over ordinary blenders due to its very innovative Stator & Rotor assembly. Stator is a streamlined deflector tube fixed around the three-blade rotor. This design draws the liquid & solid into the tube and generates great turbulence there to mix and disperse those “Difficult-To-Disperse” powders into liquids, more cost-effective, and cutting process time up to 90%.
A jet mixer functions with its special designed stator/rotor system. The rotor is usually a turbine impeller, and the stator is a curved guide tube surrounding the rotor. When it works, the rotor generates a strong axial flow from the surface of the liquid, going through the stator tube and towards the bottom. In this manner, floating powder is drawn into the liquid, and sedimentation is lifted up. With many circulations, the total tank can be mixed and homogenized without dead zones.
