IM 25 Rotary Jet Mixer
.
The patented IM 25 is a Rotary Jet Mixer which provides fast and
efficient, hydraulically balanced mixing in tanks. It can also be used
for efficient gas and powder dispersion, and it is the most efficient CIP
tank-cleaning machine on the market.
Applications
The IM 25 is typically used in process and storage vessels of volume
10-1000 m3 used in the food industry, the beer and beverage industry,
the biotech industry, the chemical industry and other industries where
liquid mixing, gas and/or powder dispersion are central.
Operation
The liquid to be mixed is circulated from the tank via a pump to the IM
25 which is positioned under the liquid surface. The liquid flow is used
to drive a gearing system which makes the nozzles of the IM 25 rotate
around both the horizontal and vertical axes.
When small volumes are mixed with a large liquid volume, the IM 25 is
most efficient if the liquid to be mixed into the large liquid volume is
added in the recirculation loop at the suction side of the pump.
Powder dispersion is also most efficient if the powder is added in the
loop by the use of e.g. a powder mixer.
In gas dispersion applications, gas is added on the pressure side of
the pump. A heat exchanger can be installed in the recirculation loop,
providing efficient heat transfer and temperature control.
Benefits
Using the IM 25 Rotary Jet Mixer makes it possible, at a modest
investment, to perform fast and efficient mixing in a sanitary system. In
traditional systems, using propeller mixers, a rotating shaft penetrates
the tank wall and a mechanical seal and a gear box are installed. With
the Rotary Jet Mixing technology the shaft, seal and gearbox are
eliminated, and a more sanitary design is obtained.
With the Rotary Jet Mixing technology good mixing is achieved without
the use of baffles.
The Rotary Jet Mixing technology can also be used for gas dispersion
and for dispersion and dissolving of powder.
The IM 25 can furthermore be used for efficient CIP when the tank is
empty, saving liquid, chemicals and energy compared to a fixed spray
ball CIP system.
