Industrial mixing blades and paddles are rotating components designed to blend, homogenize, and agitate fluids or semi-solids within vessels.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter | Typically 30-70% of vessel diameter | |
| Tip Speed | Critical for shear-sensitive materials | |
| Blade Count | 2-6 blades per impeller | |
| Power Number | Dimensionless parameter for power calculation | |
| Rotation Speed | 50-1500 RPM (varies by application) |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is used in the following industrial products
A mechanical component within an ingredient hopper that mixes, blends, or stirs materials to prevent settling, ensure homogeneity, and facilitate material flow.
Mechanical system designed to mix and homogenize asphalt within storage tanks to prevent separation and maintain consistent viscosity.
A combined component consisting of a hopper for material storage and an agitator for mixing or preventing material settling

Radial flow blades (e.g., Rushton turbines) discharge fluid perpendicular to the shaft, ideal for gas dispersion and high shear. Axial flow blades (e.g., pitched blade turbines) discharge fluid parallel to the shaft, suitable for solid suspension and blending with lower power consumption.
Consider chemical compatibility (pH, solvents), temperature range, abrasion from solids, hygiene standards (e.g., FDA for food), and cost. Stainless steel 316L is common for corrosive environments; plastics like PTFE are used for highly reactive chemicals.
