This equipment has been designed to study the concepts concerning the mixing of liquids and it consists of a transparent cylindrical vessel equipped with a variable speed stirrer, electronic speed control, torque and speed measurement system.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Absorbed power
• Displaying the mixing patterns
• Correlation between power and speed for different types of impellers
• Mixing a slurry
• Mixing immiscible liquids
• Mixing in an aerated vessel (only by the optional diffuser)
• Scaling up a stirrer
