How Static Mixers Work

Static mixers are inline mixing devices with no moving parts, thus require no external power source and are practically
maintenance free.

Homogeneous blends or dispersions are produced in a laminar, transitional or turbulent flow regime. This is achieved in
a very short length of pipe.

To achieve these results, the mixer relies partly or wholly on the following principles:

Radial eddying
Flow division
Shear reversal

These transport phenomena combine to eliminate concentration, velocity, and thermal gradients in a plug flow fashion without losses.

Typical Processes Static Mixers are Used in:
Static Mixers	Liquid – liquid blending Liquid – liquid dispersion Gas – liquid gas blending Heat transfer Thermal homogenisation
