The Rotary Jet Mixer (photo) is equipped with two or four rotary- jet nozzles. When it is positioned below the liquid level in a tank, liquid is withdrawn from the tank outlet by a pump and is circulated via an external loop to the mixer. This design ensures fast and efficient mixing, says the company. A single Rotary Jet Mixer can handle liquid and powder mixing, gas dispersion and tank cleaning (thanks to its clean-in-place capabilities), thereby helping to reduce maintenance efforts, energy use and operating costs. The device combines high blending precision with minimized mixing times, helping to reduce energy consumption by 50% compared to conventional options, according to the manufacturer. It can be used in tanks between 100 and 80,000 L in size. — Alfa Laval, Richmond, Va.
