JETSTREAM MIXER




The principle of the Jetstream mixer is based on the rotor-stator-system. A fast rotating rotor produces a directed liquid stream. A guiding tube surrounds the rotor. It directs the liquid stream towards the bottom of the vessel and rotation of the liquid in the vessel is avoided. The liquid stream is directed towards the bottom of the vessel where it is redirected to an upward stream. On the surface, the stream again is redirected towards the bottom of the vessel. In such a manner, the whole contents of the vessel is mixed and homogenised

 


  • rotation of the contents in the vessel
  • absolutely no sedimentation for suspensions
  • no incorporation of air from the surface
  • gentle mixing because of a homogeneous mixing effect
  • no open rotor system
  • side entry installation in large vessel
  • In the mixing technology we distinguish between Micro- and Macro mixing.
  • Micro mixing describes the turbulence that reaches even the smallest particles and ensures a complete homogeneous medium in even the smallest spot.
  • Macro mixing circulates and homogenises the whole volume without any dead zones.
  • The ideal situation would be to have a good macro mixing and simultaneously a good micro mixing.
  • It does not make any sense to use an stream lined and optimised stirring element, that provides a slow circulation of the contents of the vessel, but that can’t provide a sufficient micro mixing - nor is it useful to have a mixer, that starts to rotate the liquid, but is not able to mix the upper and lower layers of liquid.

 

Typical Application:

  • Jetstream mixers are being used in all branches of the chemical industry, pharmaceutical productions, food industry and cosmetic products.
  • The machines are designed according to given specifications of the product. There is a special designed type for the use in sterile areas as well as others for waste water treatment.
  • Jetstream mixers are used for homogenising, dispersing, suspending, emulsifying, crystallising, aeration, dissolving and to improve the rate of heat exchange on the wall of a vessel. They may be attached directly onto a tank or to a moveable lift.
  • Anywhere where real homogeneous mixtures are required a Jetstream mixer has to be installed
  • Advantage of a Jetstream mixer is that no additional installations, such as baffles are required.
  • The mixing effect is so efficient, that a relatively small mixer is sufficient to keep large volumes in motion (storage tanks for milk, vessels with raw mineral oil).
  • Side entry mixers are installed close to the bottom of the tank to circulate all the liquid.
