Set-up and function

The principle of the Jetstream mixer is based on the rotor-stator-system

• A fast rotating rotor produces a directed liquid stream
• A guiding tube surrounds the rotor
• It directs the liquid stream towards the bottom of the vessel
• Rotation of the liquid in the vessel is avoided
• The liquid stream is directed towards the bottom of the vessel where it is redirected to an upward stream
• On the surface, the stream again is redirected towards the bottom of the vessel
• In such a manner, the whole contents of the vessel is mixed and homogenised

Information and principle

• In the mixing technology we distinguish between Micro- and Macro mixing.
  Micro mixing describes the turbulence that reaches even the smallest particles and ensures a complete homogeneous medium in even the smallest spot.
• Macro mixing circulates and homogenises the whole volume without any dead zones.
• The ideal situation would be the combination of a good macro mixing and simultaneously a good micro mixing.
• It does not make any sense to use an stream lined and optimised stirring element, that provides a slow circulation of the contents of the vessel, but that can’t provide a sufficient micro mixing - nor is it useful to have a mixer, that starts to rotate the liquid, but is not able to mix the upper and lower layers of liquid.

Advantages of the Jetstream mixer

• No rotation of the contents in the vessel
• Absolutely no sedimentation for suspensions
• No incorporation of air from the surface
• Gentle mixing because of a homogeneous mixing effect
• No open rotor system
• Side entry installation in large vessel

Field of applications for Jetstream mixers

• ystral Jetstream mixers are being used in all branches of the chemical industry, pharmaceutical productions, food industry and cosmetic products.
• The machines are designed according to given specifications of the product. There is a special designed type for the use in sterile areas as well as others for waste water treatment.
• Jetstream mixers are used for homogenising, dispersing, suspending, emulsifying, crystallising, aeration, dissolving and to improve the rate of heat exchange on the wall of a vessel. They may be attached directly onto a tank or to a moveable lift.
• Anywhere where real homogeneous mixtures are required a Jetstream mixer has to be installed.
• Advantage of a Jetstream mixer is that no additional installations, such as baffles are required.
• The mixing effect is so efficient, that a relatively small mixer is
  sufficient to keep large volumes in motion (storage tanks for milk,
  vessels with raw mineral oil).
• Side entry mixers are installed close to the bottom of the tank to
  circulate all the liquid.
