Hydrofoil Mixing Element
The shape of the Hydrofoil blades designed by Jongia Mixing Technology, in combination with a rest stirrer, create a smooth top over bottom velocity in the tank. Halfway down the agitator shaft, two extra Hydroprops can be applied to increase axial flow.
In most cases, the Hydroprop agitators have a fairly large surface, and the blades are oriented as such that they pump from the top downwards.
In some cases, however, the agitator can be equipped with a set of Hydrofoil blades oriented to pump upwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Hydrofoil Mixing Element?
The Hydrofoil Mixing Element is designed by Jongia Mixing Technology. Its specialized blade shape, combined with a rest stirrer, enables smooth fluid movement inside a tank. It aims to enhance mixing efficiency and maintain consistent flow patterns throughout the process.
How do Hydrofoil blades function?
Hydrofoil blades are oriented to efficiently pump fluids, primarily moving from the top downwards. This design helps create a balanced flow and improves the mixing process inside tanks, ensuring that materials are adequately blended and homogenized.
Can Hydrofoil blades be customized for specific applications?
Yes, Hydrofoil blades can be customized or oriented to pump fluids upwards based on specific operational needs. This adaptability allows users to achieve optimal mixing results for various applications by modifying the blade configuration accordingly.
What is the benefit of using Hydroprops?
The integration of Hydroprops halfway down the agitator shaft increases axial flow, enhancing mixing performance. This additional feature promotes improved liquid movement, contributing to better overall efficiency in the mixing process while minimizing dead zones within the tank.
