Inline mixers
Alflow sells in-line mixers - also known as static mixers - for the pharmaceutical, process/chemical and food industries.
The mixers provide precise mixing and dispersion of all liquid materials without the use of moving parts. Instead, product mixing is achieved by redirecting the flow patterns already present in an empty pipe using process-specific elements. The elements use the energy from the process flow to mix and disperse the product with minimal pressure loss.
What is an inline mixer?
One of the key benefits of inline mixers is that they enable overall tank integrity. There is no shaft to pass through the tank wall, which can cause leaks and challenge the integrity of the tank and its contents.
Inline mixers use the energy from the process flow to mix the product with minimal energy loss. In all our static mixers, a patented helical mixing element directs the flow of material radially towards the pipe walls and back to the centre. Further speed reversal and flow splitting is the result of combining alternating right- and left-facing elements, increasing mixing efficiency. All material is mixed continuously and completely, eliminating radial gradients in temperature, speed and material composition.
Our static in-line mixers are often used when you want to move from batch mixing to continuous mixing and processing.
Find the right mixer for your process
Our in-line mixers can be used for numerous processes and applications in the pharmaceutical, process/chemical and food industries to reduce overall costs and improve efficiency, speed and control. Inline mixers are suitable for mixing, dispersing, heating and cooling.
Alflow's in-line mixers are extremely durable and have an extremely high performance. In addition, our in-line mixers fulfil all the requirements for use, hygiene, environment and serviceability. The products are therefore also type-approved.
Liquids for inline mixers
Static mixers feature a patented helical mixing element that creates complete radial mixing and flow division of any combination of liquids, gases or solids.
For example, it is compatible with:
- Chemical products
- Refining
- Oil and gas
- Polymers
- Cosmetic products
- Food - such as chocolate, milk, yoghurt, fruit juice, cheese and ice cream
- Pulp and paper
- Water and wastewater treatment
- With more
Mixing applications
Our inline mixers can be used in different types of mixing and dispersion applications - including turbulent mixing, laminar mixing and dispersion.
For turbulent mixing, our inline mixers produce fast mixing by inducing circular patterns that reverse direction at each element intersection.
In laminar mixing, the alternating helical elements in our inline mixers continuously divide, stretch and reorient the flow stream to produce complete mixing with minimal pressure drop.
In liquid/liquid dispersion, the uniform turbulent shear field in inline mixers quickly disperses immiscible liquids and produces a narrow droplet size distribution.
In gas/liquid dispersion, gases can be incorporated into turbulent liquids using our inline mixer. Mass transfer rates are dramatically increased to maximise absorption or reaction.
In addition, a special series of our inline mixers, called Thermogenizers, can mix thermal gradients as well as complementary colour and additive mixing.
