FEATURES
The TM and STM Series Side Entry Mixers represent a culmination of over 60 years of engineering innovation, setting the global benchmark in side-entry tank mixing technology. Designed for efficiency, durability, and ease of maintenance, these mixers are ideal for applications where precise fluid motion and robust performance are critical.
Key Features:
- High-efficiency Impellers: One-piece helical pitch impellers ensure cavitation-free suction, high thrust, and optimized energy usage.
- Durable Belt Drive System: Fire-resistant anti-static (FRAS) torque belts transmit power with precision and reliability.
- Swivel Angle Flexibility (STM Series): Adjustable angles (up to 30°) enable comprehensive tank coverage, ensuring even mixing and sediment suspension.
- Compact and Accessible Design: Facilitates easy installation, maintenance, and operational longevity.
The mixers’ advanced design ensures they perform in a wide range of demanding industrial applications, offering superior energy efficiency compared to jet mixing systems.
The TM and STM Series mixers use high-efficiency impellers to create a focused axial flow, promoting:
- Blending: Ensures uniform mixing of components throughout the tank.
- Homogeneity Maintenance: Keeps materials evenly distributed, avoiding sedimentation or layering.
- Temperature Uniformity: Optimizes heat transfer during heating or cooling processes.
- Sediment Suspension: Maintains cleanliness by lifting bottom sludge into the fluid body.
The STM Series’ swivel functionality adds flexibility, enabling thorough cleaning and sediment management in large storage tanks.
The TM and STM Series mixers are widely used across industries:
- Oil & Gas: Crude oil storage, BS&W control, sludge suspension.
- Biofuels and Renewable Oils: Ensuring homogeneity and blending.
- Wastewater Treatment: Effective mixing of wastewater and treatment chemicals.
- Chemical Processing: Uniform blending of components and temperature regulation.
- Edible Oils: Maintaining product integrity during storage and transfer.
