Static Mixers are different from traditional (dynamic) mixers because
there are no moving parts. Most processes utilize pumps to
transfer chemicals from one reactor to another. The static mixer
contains plates or baffles in various shapes, which are attached to the
pipe and are therefore stationary. As the fluids are pumped by
these obstacles, turbulence and the physical shifting of the fluid
elements causes the fluids to mix. Here is a video (courtesy of
Sulzer Chemtech) that shows the concept of mixing using static
mixers. This video is 5.4 Mb and it will take about 1-2 minutes to
upload if you are using a high-speed connection. If you are
dialing up, you may want to skip this. |
| There will be more video clips of this type spread out in
the various categories in the Mixing Forum. Below are some jumping
links to some of these clips, if you are only interested in static
mixing. If you would like any assistance in applying static mixers
to your process, please contact us. |
