IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer
.
The patented IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer provides fast and efficient,
hydraulically-balanced mixing in tanks. It can also be used for efficient
gas dispersion, and it is the most efficient CIP tank-cleaning machine
on the market.
Applications
The IM 10 is typically used in process and storage vessels of volume
1-10 m3 used in the food industry, the beer and beverage industry, the
biotech/pharma industry, the chemical industry, and other industries
where liquid mixing and/or gas dispersion are central. The IM 10 is
only used in liquids containing no fibrous or abrasive particles.
Operation
The liquid to be mixed is circulated from the tank via a pump to the IM
10 which is positioned under the liquid surface. The liquid flow is used
to drive a gearing system which makes the nozzles of the IM 10 rotate
around both the horizontal and vertical axes.
When small volumes are mixed with a large liquid volume, the IM 10 is
most efficient if the liquid to be mixed into the large liquid volume is
added in the recirculation loop at the suction side of the pump. In gas
dispersion applications, gas is added on the pressure side of the pump.
A heat exchanger can be installed in the recirculation loop, providing
efficient heat transfer and temperature control.
Benefits
Using the IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer makes it possible, at a modest
investment, to perform fast and efficient mixing in a sanitary system. In
traditional systems, using propeller mixers, a rotating shaft penetrates
the tank wall, and a mechanical seal and a gear box are installed.
With the Rotary Jet Mixer technology the shaft, seal and gearbox are
eliminated, and a more sanitary design is obtained.
With the Rotary Jet Mixing technology good mixing is achieved without
the use of baffles.
The Rotary Jet Mixer can also be used for gas dispersion.
The IM 10 can furthermore be used for efficient CIP when the tank is
empty, saving liquid, chemicals and energy compared to a fixed spray
ball CIP system.
