. kySuperior mixing – Liquid, Gas and Powder IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer . The patented IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer provides fast and efficient, hydraulically-balanced mixing in tanks. It can also be used for efficient gas dispersion, and it is the most efficient CIP tank-cleaning machine on the market. Applications The IM 10 is typically used in process and storage vessels of volume 1-10 m3 used in the food industry, the beer and beverage industry, the biotech/pharma industry, the chemical industry, and other industries where liquid mixing and/or gas dispersion are central. The IM 10 is only used in liquids containing no fibrous or abrasive particles. Operation The liquid to be mixed is circulated from the tank via a pump to the IM 10 which is positioned under the liquid surface. The liquid flow is used to drive a gearing system which makes the nozzles of the IM 10 rotate around both the horizontal and vertical axes. When small volumes are mixed with a large liquid volume, the IM 10 is most efficient if the liquid to be mixed into the large liquid volume is added in the recirculation loop at the suction side of the pump. In gas dispersion applications, gas is added on the pressure side of the pump. A heat exchanger can be installed in the recirculation loop, providing efficient heat transfer and temperature control. Benefits Using the IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer makes it possible, at a modest investment, to perform fast and efficient mixing in a sanitary system. In traditional systems, using propeller mixers, a rotating shaft penetrates the tank wall, and a mechanical seal and a gear box are installed. With the Rotary Jet Mixer technology the shaft, seal and gearbox are eliminated, and a more sanitary design is obtained. With the Rotary Jet Mixing technology good mixing is achieved without the use of baffles. The Rotary Jet Mixer can also be used for gas dispersion. The IM 10 can furthermore be used for efficient CIP when the tank is empty, saving liquid, chemicals and energy compared to a fixed spray ball CIP system.
