Static Mixers - Mixing Technology - Home

Static inline mixers are used for a wide range of applications including mixing, heat exchange and dispersion, due to numerous unique innovations our static mixers are especially suitable to hygienic processes applications where CIP (cleaning in place) is required, and also a broad range of temperatures and viscosities.

"Static mixers are a cost effective solution for a range of mixing applications in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food industries."

Applications

General chemicals - agri-chemicals, paint, slurries.
Polymers - polyesters, nylons, ethylene's, silicones adhesives, sealants
Food & Beverages - sauces, chocolates, dairy products, salad dressing, sugar syrups.
Energy - petrochemicals, fuel oil
Pulp & Paper - Kraft soaps, black liquor, oils.
Waste water treatment applications

Principle of Operation - Static Mixers

Flow through the static mixer element is diverted into two separate streams. Optimisation of the profile induces equal radial and axial flow, the helix pitch creates a rotation of the fluid, by which the fluid flows from the outside to the inside and reverse. The difference in velocity that occurs creates a shearing of the fluids.

After one rotation through the static mixer element a second diversion takes place and simultaneously a reverse of the succeeding rotation in the next mixing element occurs.

As the number of streams or layers increases, the layer thickness decreases.

After only 20 rotations in a 50mm diameter Static mixer, mixing at molecular level is achieved 20 diversions of the fluid creates 220 separate layers, each 0.05 micron thick.

Static Mixers - Available from Stock

Popular sizes of static mixers manufactured in stainless steel or polypropylene. Static mixers are available from stock on short delivery.

Static Mixers & Heat Exchangers - Bespoke solutions

Bespoke Static Mixers & Heat Exchangers can be designed and manufactured to meet your specific process requirements.

All of our new products are designed using the most advanced CAD 3D modelling systems by our team of experienced application and CAD design engineers.

Heat Exchangers

Advanced connection technology between the process tube and static mixer elements on Euromixers-Primix Heat Exchangers results in a heat exchange transfer rate equal to the base material of the process tube and mixer elements, each spiral shaped static mixer element acts as additional heat transfer area, resulting in a 20 - 100% improvement in heat transfer compared to conventional heat exchangers.

Reliability & Performance - Compared to other types of heat exchanger Euromixers-Primix static mixer heat exchangers have a considerable advantages by reducing temperature differential over the cross sectional area of the process tubes, resulting in uniform product quality and a broad acceptance for heat exchange applications with higher viscosity process media.

"The high operational reliability of static mixers and heat exchangers has proved invaluable in a number of crucial applications in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food industries."
