Pitched Blade Turbines are axial-flow impellers that generate both axial and radial flow, making them effective in mixing applications involving immiscible liquids or solids. With their blades typically set at a 45-degree angle, they are designed to create suction near the liquid surface, aiding in the thorough mixing of substances. They are commonly used in processes where viscosity may change during the operation, such as in chemical reactors, wastewater treatment, and certain fermentation processes. Pitched Blade Turbines are adaptable to various configurations by altering the number of blades and their pitch angle.

Mixing Tips for selection of Pitch Blade Turbine 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.
