Static mixers helps to get desired mixing of two or more components without moving of an equipment. These mixers are also specialized for continuous mixing of components with perfect mannered mixing quality. Compact structure of static mixer mixes the streams of fluids into housing and pipelines. Adequate mixing in such compact area can be obtained by inserting a static mixer only. It differentiates itself with its stable and fixed nature unlike traditional mixers. Here we offer optimized blending technology for fluids as well as gasses with less energy consumption. Our efficient mixers are fully developed and manufactured to only satisfy and justify the industrial needs.
Working Principle of Static Mixer
Static mixing assure that mixing can be achieved in short pipe length and in motionless operation. Efficiency of static mixer depends on the angular arrangement of elements. Mixing elements are serially arranged one after another to get homogeneous mixed outlet throughout. Various angles mixing elements divides and Recombines the streams through the mixer to achieve the required homogeneous mixture. Process requirements and specific properties such as density, viscosity of fluid stream, degree of mixing of mixture are the factors which decides the number of mixing elements required in a mixer.
Benefits of Static Mixer
- Direct molding of material into mixing element gives efficient mixing without energy consumption.
- Proper distribution of fluid streams, additives into short pipe section can be achieved in very short time.
- Most consistent type of mixer in the segment regarding viscosity, colour, texture of the product outlet.
- Easy and customizable to handle. Quick changes in mixture or stream ratio can be done accordingly.
- Accurate shaping and sizing of the mixer provided. Need not to be modify or reevaluated unlike large mixers.
- Compatible with all type of industrial applications.
