Static Mixer type TPX
Application
The static TPX mixer is used for continuous mixing of
different combinations of liquids, gasses, and particles. It is
also well suited for ensuring an equal mixing temperature by
for example direct steam injection. The static mixer can be
used for both pre-and post-mixing. It can be used for mixing
of dairy products such as cream and milk by standardisation,
starter culture and milk, and fat and recombined milk.
The TPX static mixer is characterised by low energy
consumption.
Capacity
Up to 110,000 l/hour.
Standard specification
• All parts in touch with the product are made of acid
proof stainless steel AISI 316 L / DIN1.4404.
• Contains of four helical mixing elements. If more mixing
elements are required, more mixers can be serial
connected.
• Seal material in EPDM or FPM (Viton), FDA quality
• Sanitary design: normal or 3A for CIP cleaning
• Inlet/outlet fittings corresponding to DS/ISO, DIN and
Clamp 3A
Operation
The mixer is an in-line mixer and has no moving parts. The static mixing element in the mixer housing ensures that the liquids
are separated, spread, rotated, and whirled so that they are properly mixed. This takes place with a minimum of pressure loss.
The liquid flow is ensured by either a pump or by gravitation.
The mixing elements are twisted 180o to the left and right alternately and are adjacent in 90o angles to each other.
The mixing takes place by either laminar or turbulent flow. For high viscosity products the aim is laminar flow, whereas mixing of
low viscosity products is preferred by turbulent flow. For low viscosity products and turbulent flow four mixing elements will be
sufficient to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
