Industrial Mixing Units - Equipment for Multiple Applications

Mixing machines are called mixers, agitators, jet mixers, or blenders depending on their design. Industrial applications use jet aerators, hydraulic mixers, or impeller-based agitators.

Industrial mixing tools include jet aerators for oxygen transfer, hydraulic jet mixers for blending, sludge mixers for digester applications, mechanical agitators with rotating shafts, diffused aerators for wastewater treatment, and eductor-based systems for chemical processing.

Jet mixing systems have no in-basin moving parts, resulting in virtually maintenance-free operation with 20+ year lifespans. They deliver significant energy savings, handle deep tanks up to 65 feet where rotating shaft agitators are ineffective, and eliminate mechanical seal failures common in traditional agitators.

Jet mixing systems use centrifugal pumps to create high velocity jets that entrain surrounding fluid through the eductor principle, increasing effective flow by up to five times the pumping capacity. The jets create powerful eddy currents and circulation patterns that prevent dead zones and ensure complete mixing throughout the tank.

Jet mixing systems are especially cost-effective for tanks over 10,000 gallons and ideal for deep applications ranging from 20 to 65 feet where rotating shaft agitators become unstable or ineffective. They remain effective in tanks with fluctuating liquid levels from empty to full.

Jet mixing systems effectively handle fluids under 100 cP viscosity and solid particles up to 2.2 inches in diameter. Nozzles hardened to 450+ Brinell hardness and high chrome stainless steel construction enable handling of abrasive sludges in demanding applications like mining and wastewater treatment.

Jet aeration systems achieve significant energy reduction through fine bubble generation via hydraulic shearing, producing micron-size bubbles with a 0.85 alpha factor for superior oxygen transfer efficiency. Independent control of mixing and aeration allows optimization of both functions without energy waste.
