Component Specifications

Definition
A mechanical component consisting of rotating blades or vanes mounted on a shaft, designed to create fluid motion and ensure homogeneous mixing of syrup ingredients in preparation vessels. It facilitates heat transfer, prevents sedimentation, and maintains consistent viscosity throughout the batch process.
Working Principle
Operates by converting rotational energy from a motor into kinetic energy in the fluid. The impeller blades create shear forces and fluid displacement, generating axial or radial flow patterns that promote mixing, blending, and suspension of solids in syrup solutions.
Materials
Stainless steel 316L (food-grade), with optional coatings like PTFE for corrosion resistance. Shaft material: AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel. Blades may incorporate reinforced polymers for specific applications.
Technical Parameters
  • Diameter 200-600 mm
  • Blade Type Axial flow, radial flow, or mixed flow
  • Mounting Type Top-mounted or side-entry
  • Rotation Speed 50-300 RPM
  • Shaft Diameter 25-80 mm
  • Power Requirement 1.5-7.5 kW
Standards
ISO 2858, DIN 28136

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between axial and radial flow impellers?

Axial flow impellers move fluid parallel to the shaft, ideal for blending and suspension, while radial flow impellers move fluid perpendicular to the shaft, suitable for high-shear applications like emulsification.

How do I select the right impeller for syrup mixing?

Consider syrup viscosity, desired mixing intensity, vessel geometry, and process requirements (e.g., heating/cooling). Low-viscosity syrups may use axial flow, while high-viscosity ones benefit from radial or specialized designs.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
