Mixing of liquids occurs frequently in process engineering. The nature of liquids to blend determines the equipment used. Single-phase blending tends to involve low-shear, high-flow mixers to cause liquid engulfment, while multi-phase mixing generally requires the use of high-shear, low-flow mixers to create droplets of one liquid in laminar, turbulent or transitional flow regimes, depending on the Reynolds number of the flow. Turbulent or transitional mixing is frequently conducted with turbines or impellers; laminar mixing is conducted with helical ribbon or anchor mixer.
Mixing of liquids that are miscible or at least soluble in each other occurs frequently in process engineering (and in everyday life). An everyday example would be the addition of milk or cream to tea or coffee. Since both liquids are water-based, they dissolve easily in one another. The momentum of the liquid being added is sometimes enough to cause enough turbulence to mix the two, since the viscosity of both liquids is relatively low. If necessary, a spoon or paddle could be used to complete the mixing process. Blending in a more viscous liquid, such as honey, requires more mixing power per unit volume to achieve the same homogeneity in the same amount of time.

5. Sales Training
At an industrial scale, efficient mixing can be difficult to achieve. A great deal of engineering effort goes into designing and improving mixing processes. Mixing at industrial scale is done in batches (dynamic mixing), inline or with help of static mixers. Moving mixers are powered with electric motors that operate at standard speeds of 1800 or 1500 RPM, which is typically much faster than necessary. Gearboxes are used to reduce speed and increase torque. Some applications require the use of multi-shaft mixers, in which a combination of mixer types are used to completely blend the product.
In addition to performing typical batch mixing operations, some mixing can be done continuously. Using a machine like the Continuous Processor, one or more dry ingredients and one or more liquid ingredients can be accurately and consistently metered into the machine and see a continuous, homogeneous mixture come out the discharge of the machine. Many industries have converted to continuous mixing for many reasons. Some of those are ease of cleaning, lower energy consumption, smaller footprint, versatility, control, and many others. Continuous mixers, such as the twin-screw Continuous Processor, also have the ability to handle very high viscosities.

Mixing of liquids occurs frequently in process engineering. The nature of liquids to blend determines the equipment used. Single-phase blending tends to involve low-shear, high-flow mixers to cause liquid engulfment, while multi-phase mixing generally requires the use of high-shear, low-flow mixers to create droplets of one liquid in laminar, turbulent or transitional flow regimes, depending on the Reynolds number (turbulence) of the flow. Turbulent or transitional mixing is frequently conducted with turbines or impellers; laminar mixing is conducted with helical ribbon or anchor mixers.
The level of mixing is determined by the pumping effect or dynamic response that the mixer imparts into the fluid. When a mixing impeller rotates in the fluid, it generates a combination of flow and shear.
To calculate impeller flow, use the following equation: Flow (GPM) = (Imp # * RPM * IMP Dia ) / Imp # = “E” = 0.3, “P” = 0.5, “N” = 0.09
(Flow GPM is not turn over. Tank geometry plays in the outcome, consult factory)
To calculate power draw, use the following equation: Power (HP) = (Power # * RPM * Imp Dia * SG * CPS) / (1.525 * 10 )
Power #: “E” = 0.5, “P” = 0.8, “N” = 10t

Use the graph to get started. This will indicate the horsepower (strength of motor) to start with. Notice adding viscosity to same size tank increases starting horsepower. Graph is intended for high speed mixing, use notes and customer application to influence your final decision.
Notes:
Solutions over 1000CPS should be slowly agitated, lower speed mixers are coming soon.
Sizing Graph provided is designed for basic blending. Solid suspension and dry chemical blending application should consult factory.

Once system is inspected for damage and received in good condition, and store indoors in safe place until installing. Damaged incurred before installation is not covered under warranty.
TEFC Motor
Mount
Coupling
Shaft

13. Installation & Operation
Before you get started…
All fasteners and fitting should be properly inspected and secured before operation as they may be loosened in transit
Personnel safety practices should apply at all times
Safety glasses or face shields and gloves should be worn
Do not service glycol feed package with out disconnecting power
Close isolation valve and release pressure before servicing any components on the system
All liquids in system should be drained before servicing
Glycol feed package should be installed by qualified personnel.

14. Installation & Operation
All standard GTP “Chem-Mix” models are totally enclosed motors, but should be protected from harsh environmental conditions. The addition of an awning or shed is recommended on outdoor applications will needed to validate warranty and will prolong the life of any equipment.
Once location is decided on, chemical mixer needs to be securely mounted to frame or sturdy structure. “Chem-Mix” mixers may not be mounted directly to the wall of polyethylene tanks unless adequate strength is provided. Polyethylene is a flexible material and eventually will give way to the vibrations and weight of the mixer. Be sure that anchoring bolts and wiring comply with local building codes. The following diagrams will help provide the mixing needed. Please contact the factory for assistance.

15. Installation & Operation
How the mixer is oriented determines the type of mixing produced. Blending Installation (mixing of two or more chemicals) Note: Mixer needs to be installed at degrees from vertical and towards center of tank. This will force fluid movement from bottom to top of tank.
Toward Center of tank
10-15 Degrees

16. Installation & Operation
Vortexing Installation:
(blending of dry chemical into liquid)
Note: Mixer needs to be installed vertically and in the center of the tank. This will create the best vortex and help draw in dry chemicals. Baffles can be added to the inside of the tank to decrease the vortexing.
If Dry chemicals are not being drawn in, mixer may be undersized. If dry chemicals are settling at the bottom of the tank, the mixer shaft may be to short.
Center of tank
Straight Down to ensure Vortexing

17. Installation & Operation
MIXER SHAFT INSTALLATION When installing the mixer shaft, align the red arrow and the set screw dimple, and then hand tighten the shaft set screw with 1/8” Allen wrench. Be sure to check all fasteners, mounting and set screws, before start up, to ensure proper mixer performance. DO NOT USE LOCK TIGHT ON SET SCREW, OR SHAFT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE REPLACED.

18. Installation & Operation
Securing/Assembling the Mount: For the most part, the mixer mount is assembled, but typically not attached to the motor. This is done to ensure proper transport to the destination.
Bracket Mount: Designed to be mounted to a flat surface and has pivoting adjustment screw between base and mount. Be sure all fasteners at tightened before start up.

19. Installation & Operation
Clamp Mount: Designed to be mounted to rigid vertical surface. Open clamp mount adjustment screw and hand tighten to vertical surface. Adjust mixer angle with pivot adjust screw between mount and clamp. Be sure all fasteners are secure before start up.

20. Installation & Operation
Flange Mount: Designed to be mounted to rigid horizontal surface. Mount comes with 5o angle adjust standard, locate shaft toward middle of tank (away from side wall) and drill mount pattern to horizontal surface. Be sure to make shaft/coupling opening ¼ to ½” larger than coupling diameter. Check all fasteners before start up.

21. Installation & Operation
Thread Mount: Designed to be mounted to 2” NPT bulkhead fitting. To mount, thread slowly into adapter to tank. Orient shaft toward center of tank (away from side wall) and check all fasteners before start up.

22. Maintenance
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance in this section is referred to as checking once a week until a maintenance schedule can be determined. All fasteners should be check for proper operations. Maintenance and care will depend upon the usage and environment in which the chemical mixer is subject to.
Inspection of should include:
Balance – Be sure that the mixer is not shaking or wobbling
Mounting Hardware – Be sure that the mounting hardware is secure.
Shaft Integrity – Check the shaft for chemical attack.
Fluid Consistency – Check that the fluid is being mixed to your requirements.

23. POSSIBLE CAUSE OR ACTION
