OVERVIEW

Wide Blade Axial Thrust Mixing Impeller

The HWM is a wide blade axial flow impeller manufactured by Mechanimix. It operates in the diameter range of 200–3000 mm and viscosity range of 1–1000 cP. With its wide blade geometry, it delivers homogeneous energy distribution at low shear force and is preferred for suspension, crystallization and precipitation processes in the chemical, polymer and hydrometallurgy industries.

Axial Flow

The wide blade design generates strong axial thrust, creating a homogeneous flow pattern throughout the tank.

Low Power

Low speed and minimum power consumption reduce energy costs while delivering efficient mixing performance.

Wide Blade

The wide blade impeller geometry preserves product quality in sensitive processes with low shear force.

Corrosion Resistance

AISI 316L and Hastelloy material options ensure long service life in aggressive chemical environments.

Heat Transfer

Homogeneous energy distribution enables efficient heat transfer, simplifying process temperature control.

Modular Design

Modular blade and hub system offers easy installation, quick replacement and minimum maintenance downtime.
