Mixing Device
The VortaSpin mixing device has a uniquely designed nozzle plate that creates multiple spinning fluid “slabs”. These slabs inter-react with internal baffles in the downstream mixing chamber. The result is a thoroughly blended mixture of the main fluid with any other liquid chemical or chemical powder that has been introduced upstream. This mixing action can be accomplished with a relatively low pressure drop across the nozzle plate, with most applications requiring a 5-10 psi drop.
The VortaSpin is available in a variety of materials of construction for compatibility with varying process fluids. The standard unit’s main body is made of carbon steel with a UHMW Polyethylene nozzle plate. Different grades of stainless steel for the main body and other types of materials for the nozzle plates are available options.
Applications:
- Chemical blending
- Slurry wall mixing
- Dispersion of solids into liquid stream
- Drilling mud shearing
- Dye blending
- Removable nozzle plates made of a chemical and abrasion resistant material
- Proprietary mixing nozzles that produce intense mixing action downstream
- Carbon steel powder coated mixing chamber
- Sizes available from 2” mixing chamber to 12” with feed pipes sizes from 1” to 6”
- Can be installed on same skid with the ParkProcess VenturiVac or MixCat to make a complete dry chemical blending system
