The Model 2850 Inline Static Mixer is the ideal replacement for plugged up mixers, offering high performance while resisting calcium build-up.
A common problem with conventional static mixers is that, when caustics are added, calcium deposits build up on the mixer and block the flow of liquids. This mixer includes our Model 2800 wafer mixer installed in a pipe with the injection port placed in the precise location for optimal mixing while minimizing scale build-up.
The wafer’s singular orifice, with cloverleaf-shaped tabs, generates high-shear mixing. Moving the injection port 1/2 diameter downstream in the pipe from the mixer yields a 200% reduction in the concentration of the injected caustic.
For an easy and affordable drop-in solution to an infrastructure upgrade, the static mixer is custom built inside a pipe that matches the exact dimensions and materials of the pipe being replaced.
The Model 2850 comes with a choice of orifice sizes, from .7 Beta to .9 Beta, and up to six injection ports. The larger the orifice, the less plugging, nesting or fouling occurs. Depending on orifice size, CoV ranges from .008 to .05 and K-Values from 32.59 to 6.78.
More Than 98% Dispersion Within Ten Pipe Diameters
The fixed wafer mixes by a combination of alternate vortex shedding and intense shear zone turbulence to achieve >98% dispersion within 10 pipe diameters downstream.
This mixer can be equipped with any type of flange. Choose 2” to 120” (50.8mm to 3048mm) pipe size in 316 stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy®, Kynar®, Polypropylene or Fluoropolymer coating.
Corrosion resistant materials include titanium, zirconium or Hastelloy.
Up to six injection ports can be added.
