Determination of the diameter of the side-entry mixer
Thread Content
I have a question for experts: Generally, mixers are installed vertically, and their diameter and the diameter of the tank are in certain proportions depending on the design, making it easy to determine these values. However, in the case of side-entry mixers, 3-4 units are usually installed. So once the ratio is determined, how is the diameter of the tank calculated? If any expert knows, I hope you won’t give further advice.
When selecting a side-entry mixer, the diameter and height of the tank are used to determine the number of units to be installed as well as their power capacity. A side-entry mixer generally refers to one with a rotation speed in the range of 100–300 revolutions per minute. Since it is installed horizontally, the most important consideration is that the mechanical seal chosen must be capable of preventing leaks, given this rotation speed.
