Anchor Mixing Element
An Anchor Mixing Element, is a type of mixing element or blade used in industrial mixing and blending applications. It is named after its shape, which resembles that of a ship’s anchor.
A Jongia Anchor Mixing Element typically consists of a central shaft with several flat, curved blades attached at a right angle to the shaft. The blades are oriented in such a way that they scrape along the walls of the mixing vessel as the shaft rotates, ensuring that the entire contents of the vessel is thoroughly mixed. The angle of the blades with regard to the shaft is either 90 or 45 degrees to enable a “pumping” effect together with a “scraping” effect.
Jongia Anchor Mixing Elements are commonly used in applications where high shear mixing is not required, but gentle mixing with good radial and axial mixing characteristics is important. They are often used in mixing and blending applications involving viscous or non-Newtonian fluids, such as adhesives, polymers, and food products such as emulsions. The gentle mixing action of a Jongia Anchor Mixing Element helps to prevent the formation of agglomerates and ensures uniform mixing throughout the batch.
