Perhaps the lack of interest is because the teeth brushing process is mundane and simple: grab a toothbrush, apply toothpaste, brush thoroughly, spit out toothpaste, rinse mouth. The […]
This is the fourth blog in our Industrial Mixing Basics series on mixing impellers. It focuses on high viscosity mixing impellers (i.e., laminar flow impellers). These include the double helix impellers and ProQuip Doubly-Pitched HiFlow™ impeller. Laminar Flow Impellers Blending high viscosity fluids generally requires a mixing impeller that operates effectively in a high viscosity/laminar […]

The third blog in our series on mixing impellers focuses on mixing impeller power. As discussed in part one of this blog series, characteristics common to all mixing impellers include: Flow Pattern (part two in series) Impeller Power Fluid Pumping Rate Fluid Velocity Fluid Shear This blog discusses the mechanical power associated with a mixing […]
A Lot has Changed Since 1969, Except Our Dedication to Advanced Design, Manufacturing Excellence and Outstanding Customer Service In 1969, Lyndon Baines Johnson was the United States President, the Beatles performed together for the last time on a rooftop in London (their official breakup was announced in 1970), Oliver! won the Academy Award for Best Picture, […]
A primary classification of industrial mixer impellers is their liquid flow pattern in a mixed vessel. This characteristic is used to provide the type of mixing that is desired for a particular application. Axial Flow Pattern Axial flow impellers are designed to provide primarily an up and down flow pattern. This flow pattern develops using […]
Common Characteristics of Mixing Impeller Designs In part one of our blog series on types of mixing impellers, we look at the characteristics common to all industrial mixing impeller designs and a list of ProQuip high performance mixing impellers based on shear and viscosity. The impeller is a key component of industrial tank agitator design. In technical terms, […]
