What are the main parameters for selecting a mixer?
Thread Content
I would like to ask those who know how to select a mixer: how is it done exactly? What factors can affect the mixing effect? Thank you!
1. Dimensions and shape of the container (basis for calculation) 2. Physicochemical properties of the medium (factors to be considered) 3. Purpose of stirring (flocculation, reaction, dissolution, mixing, prevention of precipitation). . . (Basis for selection) 4. Type of mixer impeller: (folded-blade, frame-type, vertical, horizontal, flow-advancing, flow-deflecting.) . . ) 5. Parameters to be finally determined: mixer type, mixer power, rotation speed, material of flow-through components
The container has a diameter of 12.5 m and a liquid level height of 5 m. Four agitators are installed; the purpose of agitation is to mix gas and liquid and prevent sedimentation. How should these parameters be selected?
You need to provide the medium properties and specific gravity
The medium is limestone slurry, with a specific gravity of around 1.2 to 1.3
Your case involves a limestone solution, so there is no issue with using specialized seals; an open-container top-mounted single-face seal mixing system can be employed. Using H310 type impeller blades will do.
I need to learn more from all of you; I’m too weak in this area.^_^
Medium viscosity, impeller design, torque, immersion depth, presence of baffles, etc.
Where can I quickly find the information needed to calculate the power for the model specifications of a mixer?
I’m also very curious about knowledge in this area
