A tank mixer is a mass momentum exchange device that uses pressurised liquid energy to entrain, mix and pump a secondary fluid. Transvac designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of tank jet mixers and complete tank jet mixing systems for the process industries.

Whether the application is for mixing food products or trade effluent, Transvac tank jet mixers offer a simple and reliable method of blending/mixing liquids and keeping solids in suspension.

Applications: neutralisation, solids suspension, sludge mixing, blending, flash mixing, heat transfer, anoxic tank mixing, balance tank mixing, chemical mixing, lime mixing.

Advantages

  • No maintenance, no moving parts
  • No support bridges or bottom bearings
  • Materials to suit the process liquor
  • Even distribution of mixing
  • Operation at varying and low levels
  • No baffles required, no vortexing


In operation, pressurised liquid is discharged through the jet nozzle into the suction chamber. The change from pressure energy to kinetic energy (velocity) creates an area of low pressure that entrains liquid from within the process vessel via the open suction ports. The motive and suction liquid streams combine and mix within the diffuser throat. As the resulting mixture passes through the diverging cone, its velocity is partially reduced to regain sufficient pressure to overcome the static head of liquid within the process tank. At the discharge, a high-energy, turbulent jet is emitted, entraining and absorbing the surrounding liquid at its boundary, thus creating additional currents and turbulence to ensure complete mixing of the process tank contents.

Standard materials of construction include stainless and carbon steel, PVC-U, PP, PTFE, PVDF, hastelloy and titanium. Other materials are also available.

All Transvacs processes are quality assured and certified to ISO 9001:2000. Units are CE marked where applicable. Transvac is also fully accredited to module H of the PED.
