Products & Solutions FAQ

Our recommended viscosity range by the actual-equipment scale (several m3 or more) is 10,000 to 50,000 cp. However, you must actually check the Reynolds number (Re number) in the vessel. When the Re number is 50 or more, there is no problem. Even if it exceeds 50,000 cp, this impeller may still be used if non-Newtonian fluid is high. Please contact us for details.

There are different types as shown below.
M/B－W type: Used when liquid viscosity exceeds 10,000 cp and the mixing performance for high viscosity is important.
M/B－R type: Used when liquid depth is greater than or equal to 1.5 times the inside diameter of the tank.
M/B－G type: Used when you want to enhance gas dispersion performance in a low-viscosity system.
However, the impeller shape must be adjusted depending on conditions, such as the mixing purpose or whether coils are installed in the vessel. Please contact us at the implementation stage.

An upward flow is formed at the vessel wall due to a pressure difference between the upper and lower walls. This is caused by making the discharge flow from the bottom of the impeller (bottom paddle section) larger than the top of the impeller (grid section).

Yes. However, you need to examine whether or not the existing vessel drive unit can withstand a mixing load during MAXBLEND operation. Please contact us for details.

Yes. A special type is used depending on conditions; however, the flat-plate structure is maintained, taking into account impeller washability in the vessel.

Yes. In addition, there is a glass-lined type.

The impeller provides approximately 20 shearing speed systems, which are between the paddle impeller (approx. 10) and the WHR impeller (approx. 30).

The impeller can be assembled in the tank and divided into sizes that facilitate removal from the manhole.

Yes. The bottom of the impeller is manufactured to suit the conical shape.

The impeller has a two-dimensional plate structure, so washing is easier than with three-dimensional impellers, such as the rake paddle or WHR impeller.

If liquid viscosity is below 5000 cp, a baffle can be mounted. However, if the impeller is operated at low power to reduce aggregates by emulsion polymerization, you can use a pipe baffle or no baffle.

In general, four flat boards are used. However, the baffle shape significantly affects attached substances, etc. If problems occur, please contact us.

Yes. For low-viscosity specifications, you can use up to four windings.

No, the flow pattern is not changed due to the upward flow formed by the discharge flow from the bottom paddle.

Manufacturing is possible regardless of whether or not the bottom bearing is provided. However, if the bottom bearing is a process fluid, the mixing vessel can be easily designed, thereby reducing cost.

The 2:1 semi-ellipse mirror is ideal on the surface, where the vessel wall upward flow from the bottom paddle is formed. In addition, a half-pause mirror in the high-pressure vessel, conical mirror in the slurry vessel, and a 10%-plate type mirror are used. Please contact us for details.
