STEP!! for Mixing Equipment Optimization

General study steps to determine
optimal specifications
for mixing equipment

  1. STEP 01 Consultation

    Please tell us about your current problems and what you want to improve.
    We will confirm "current problems and issues" and "the purpose of mixing".

  2. STEP 02 Exploring Factors

    We will explore "current problems and issues" based on our clients' and our own experience.

  3. STEP 03 Development of Countermeasures

    Narrow down factors in consideration of priorities and formulate countermeasures.
    Estimate and schedule confirmation

  4. STEP 04 Review and Verification
    of Proposed Countermeasures

    The measures we have developed will be verified in one or more of the following areas.

    Desk Review

    Verification based
    on our past experience.

    Consideration of mixing power
    Setting up mixing power to fit the purposes, selection of motor capacity
    Consideration of heat transfer performance
    Calculation of temperature rise time in mixing vessel

    Simulation

    Verification by
    general-purpose thermal hydraulics
    analysis software

    ・Flow, Concentration, Heat transfer

    Test Impeller Fabrication Service

    Verification with your existing
    mixing vessel or with
    a material difficult to take out

    This service creates a custom-order mixing impeller that suits the testing conducted with your own mixing vessel or with a material that is difficult to take outside your company.
    We will propose an impeller shape that suits your process, and deliver a custom-order impeller together with a power curve chart.

    Supported vessel capacities: 3 to 1000 L
    Delivery: Approx. one month

    Test Device Rental Service

    Verification with mixing equipment
    under real-life conditions

    Sumitomo Heavy Industries Process Equipment have rental devices for testing.
    We provide a variety of devices including NANOVisK, a hybrid mixing device that realizes the nano range of droplets in emulsion, and MAXBLEND, whose unique impeller shape exercises ground-breaking mixing characteristics.

    • MAXBLEND®
    • NANOVisK®
    • SUPERBLEND®

    Visiting Test

    Verification through
    visualization tests tested
    by mixing experts

    Visit us to conduct the test. You will use our experimental facilities with the attendance of a specialized engineer who help you collect data necessary to determine the specification of mixing type of reactors including a separable flask and a production machine.
    We also provide various types of impellers and internal devices.

    Examples of tests
    Mixing test
    measuring the decolorization time and optimum mixing power and observing stagnant one using a simulated liquid
    Solid-liquid suspension test
    easuring the local slurry concentration and the critical suspension power
    Gas dispersion test
    measuring kLa and gas holdup
  5. STEP 05 Optimal Proposal for Mixing Equipment
