JBT type propeller mixer

1. Working Principle

The JBT propeller agitator operates by using a motor-driven shaft to rotate the propeller blades. The blades generate a strong axial flow that promotes the movement of materials in the desired direction, ensuring uniform mixing, dispersion, and heat transfer.

2. Structural Features

• Propeller Blades: Typically three-blade or multi-blade designs resembling a ship’s propeller, providing efficient high-flow mixing.

• Mixing Shaft: Connects the motor to the propeller, transmitting power and bearing operational loads.

• Drive System: Comprises a motor and gearbox for smooth operation, delivering the required torque and speed.

• Mounting Options: Available in top, side, or bottom-mounted configurations to suit different vessel types and process requirements.

• Sealing System: Equipped with mechanical seals or packing seals to prevent leaks.

3. Application Areas

• Chemical Industry: Ideal for homogenizing and enhancing mass transfer in storage tanks and reactors.

• Environmental Engineering: Widely used in wastewater treatment for flocculation, denitrification, phosphorus removal, and maintaining solid suspensions.

• Food Industry: Used for mixing liquids, homogenizing, and dissolving ingredients.

• Pharmaceutical Industry: Preparing liquid formulations and mixing suspensions.

• Energy Sector: Applicable in petroleum, natural gas, and renewable energy material processes.

4. Advantages

• High Flow, Low Shear: Suitable for gentle mixing applications, preventing excessive shearing of materials.

• Energy Efficiency: Optimized propeller design provides high mixing efficiency with low energy consumption.

• Flexible Operation: Blade angle and rotational speed can be adjusted to meet specific process requirements.

• Versatility: Compatible with vessels of various shapes and sizes.
