Technical Specifications
The apparatus comprises a clear acrylic mixing vessel mounted on a stainless steel base. Above this is mounted a variable-speed electronic mixer with electronic torque measurement incorporated.
The Rushton turbine impeller is a one-piece stainless steel fabrication with eight alternate upward and downward-pointing blades.
The flat blade impeller comes with six sizes of blade, each of which can be fitted in seven positions (vertical, plus 30/45/60 degrees leading and trailing edge). The blades are simple to configure and position accurately in place using a single screw. A propeller type stirrer is also included for comparison.
A set of PVC baffles can be fitted into the mixer with a simple screw mechanism to hold them in place. Under the stainless steel base is a storage compartment for the various small mixer components and the simple tools (hexagonal keys) required to change them. The larger mixer components are stored on pins behind the vessel.
Features & Benefits:
Electronic measurement and display of torque on the drive head
The drive can be varied from 50-2,200rpm (note, not all the impellers are suitable for use at high speed)
Impellers include a true Rushton turbine with eight alternate upward and downward-pointing vertical blades, a propeller and six different sizes of flat blades
A benchtop laboratory mixing system for demonstrating and teaching fundamental principles of mixing
Electronically controlled variable-speed drive system with accurate RPM measurement display
A set of baffles is included
The equipment can be operated in zero, two or four-baffle configurations
An optional heat transfer coil is available complete with temperature sensor and display
Powered by a universal power adaptor with worldwide approval
The flat blades are attached to a common mounting hub with a simple mechanism providing a precise blade angle. Seven different blade angles can be set for each blade size
The Rushton turbine and flat-bladed impellers are manufactured from stainless steel
Supplied with software to log the speed (RPM) and drive torque, calculate the power and display the data in graphs and tables.
