FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which mixer type is used in the oil and energy sector?+
It depends on the application. VMG side entry mixers are preferred for large storage tanks, HP top entry mixers for refinery processes, and NP series mixers for chemical preparation tanks. Tank volume, product viscosity and ATEX requirements determine the selection.
Which impeller type should be preferred for high-viscosity fluids?+
For viscosities above 1000 cP, the HVM high-viscosity impeller is recommended. Its narrow blade geometry maximizes shear force near the vessel wall. Adjustable blade angles provide an advantage with non-Newtonian fluids.
When is ATEX certification required for a reactor mixer?+
ATEX is mandatory in environments containing flammable gases, vapors or dusts. Motors, sensors and control units are selected according to Zone 1 (explosive atmosphere during normal operation) and Zone 2 (abnormal conditions) classifications.
How is CFD analysis used in mixer selection?+
CFD simulation models in-tank flow patterns, dead zones, heat transfer and mixing time in advance. It eliminates the need for physical prototypes, saving cost and time. Mechanimix offers CFD validation on all projects.
What should the mixing speed be in a crystallization process?+
Controlled nucleation in crystallization requires low tip speeds (1-3 m/s) and uniform energy distribution. High shear forces break crystals; the HWM impeller provides ideal suspension with low shear. Process parameters are optimized via CFD.
