Hydrofoil impellers are specialized for low-energy mixing, designed with blades that have a curved, foil-like shape. This design minimizes drag and allows for efficient mixing with reduced energy consumption. Typically used in processes requiring gentle agitation, such as blending or suspension of solids in liquids, hydrofoil impellers are well-suited for applications in industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals. The low power requirement and high efficiency of these impellers make them ideal for large-volume mixing where gentle flow is essential.

Mixing Tips for selection of Hydrofoil impeller

Gums & Thickeners:

• Powder should be added as fast as possible to avoid viscosity buildup. HSD OR Rotor Stator should be designed to rapidly hydrate or disperse the powder.
• This will achieve agglomerate free solution with better productivity.

Mixing of High & Low viscosity Fluids:

• Start with low viscosity fluids as it will require smaller machine. Addition of high viscosity fluid should be at flow suction of impeller.
