How to mix raw material tanks evenly
Thread Content
The raw material tank is composed of three types of raw materials mixed in a specific ratio; over time, separation occurs between these layers. What methods can be used to keep the contents of the tank evenly mixed?
Install a pump to enable internal circulation of the material
Install a mixer or use a pump for circulation and add a rotating nozzle
Pump circulation is possible on the upper floor, or adding a stirrer would be better; rotating nozzles would be even better.
A cheap, convenient, simple, hassle-free, and worry-free solution is to add a constant-speed stirrer. Later maintenance is simple, with no additional tasks related to piping or pumps.
If a mixer or rotary nozzle is installed, can an internal floating roof also be installed?
Can it still be operated as an internal floating roof after installing the agitator?
Can rotary nozzles be used in chemical raw material tanks, especially for benzene-based substances?
Well, it’s an internal floating roof tank, so a mixer seems not very suitable due to the sealing issues related to the mixing shaft and the roof of the tank. It’s better to use a mixing pump; when creating backflow, an annular inlet ring can be added at the bottom of the tank to increase the mixing area and minimize any dead zones, which isn’t that complicated. Let’s analyze each specific issue individually.
Please edit and clarify the operating conditions related to the issues on the first floor. Everyone is here to help answer your questions, but you keep mentioning various things (this and that); this isn’t good. It’s best to explain everything clearly and completely at once, in order to ensure efficiency and completeness. You can start by describing what kind of equipment is being used, its structure, approximate dimensions, and the manufacturing process. Also, indicate the state of the three types of materials – they could be solid, liquid, or gas.
