MIXING SOLUTIONS IN THE FINE CHEMICALS MARKET

What is industrial mixing ?

These processes involve the suspension of solid particles, the mixing of miscible liquids, the dispersion of a gas throughout the liquid, and the dispersion of a second liquid to create an emulsion.

Scheme of industrial mixing
  • Facilitate mass transfer and reactions across viscosities.
  • Mixing within the same tank can be highly adaptable, requiring mixer designs that can accommodate different processes.
  • Consideration of the pressure and temperature conditions within the tank is essential.
  • Dealing with hazardous environments: ATEX compliance.

Chemical Market Industrial Mixers

Under the LUMPP® brand, the HASLER Group offers a comprehensive range of equipment designed to improve performance and ensure effective homogenisation to promote reactions.

High performance propellers

  • Axial flow propeller
  • Combination of a propeller + impeller with inclined blades or Rushton turbine.
  • Anchor or ribbon for viscous liquid

Options to facilitate the flushing

  • Impeller welded onto the shaft or hub with a specialized design to prevent retention areas.
  • Sealing system comprises a single flushed mechanical seal (either simple or twin).
  • Tank design without the need for coupling inside.

For higher viscosity :

  • Twin-flow or double-movement impeller
  • Ribbon impeller

Materials :

  • Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloys
  • Zirconium
  • Titanium alloys
  • Tantalum
  • Corrosion and wear protection coatings
  • Pickled, passivated and/or polished materials

Mechanical seal dismounting device

To facilitate maintenance, we have developed a system for dismantling the mechanical seal without removing the spacer.

Modeling for customized sizing tailored to your requirements.

Prepare modelling

  • Provide precise geometric specifications.
  • Apply the appropriate numerical method or algorithm.

For higher viscosity :

  • Ensure a high level of precision
  • Optimize calculation time

Checking the result

  • Velocity magnitude
  • Streamlines
  • Pressure distribution
  • Any other physical parameters relevant for understanding fluid dynamics
