MAXBLEND
Cut Mixing Energy by Up to 80% - While Maintaining Stable Mixing Performance
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Process Equipment Co., Ltd.
Reduces agitation energy up to 80% in solid-liquid mixing versus general impellers
Maintains stable mixing across a wide viscosity range without impeller changes
Delivers even solid suspension with minimal particle crushing during mixing
Stable Performance Even When Liquid Levels or Viscosities Change
MAXBLEND is a mixing impeller for agitation vessels, combining a bottom paddle with an upper grid to generate an ideal flow pattern that conventional impeller models cannot achieve. This unique geometry enables homogeneous mixing in short time while requiring only a low power input, making the impeller suitable for a wide range of applications in the process industry.
Reduced Energy Consumption During Mixing
MAXBLEND generates an efficient circulation pattern that enables effective mixing with lower power input. In solid-liquid mixing, power consumption can be reduced by up to 80% compared with general impellers. It also supports energy-efficient operation across liquid-liquid and gas-liquid processes.
Stable Mixing Across Viscosity and Liquid Level Changes
MAXBLEND maintains stable mixing even when operating conditions change.
- Handles a wide range of viscosities
- Maintains stable performance as liquid levels change
- Suitable for material addition, charging, and product withdrawal
- Supports multi-product processes with different viscosities
Uniform Heat Transfer and Solid Suspension
Strong circulation throughout the vessel supports uniform temperature distribution and efficient heat transfer. MAXBLEND also enables uniform solid suspension at low rotational speeds while minimizing particle crushing caused by localized shear.
Reduced Fouling and Defined Particle Size Control
MAXBLEND minimizes stagnant zones and creates a more uniform shear environment, helping reduce fouling and adhesion on vessel surfaces.
Uniform shear also helps maintain a narrow particle size distribution in suspension polymerization and crystallization processes, while crystal size can be controlled by adjusting rotational speed. MAXBLEND can also support improved performance in gas-liquid reaction processes.
