The mixing hopper/tank is typically made of carbon steel or stainless steel. For corrosive fluids, stainless steel grades such as 304 or 316L (per ASTM A240) are used. The choice depends on the fluid characteristics and operating environment.
The working volume ranges from 5 to 30 m³, depending on the batch size and mixing capacity required. The specific volume should be selected based on the application's needs and confirmed with the manufacturer.
The operating pressure is 1.0–1.6 MPa, and the design temperature range is -20 to 80°C. Exceeding these limits may cause seal degradation or other damage, so it is important to operate within the specified ranges.
The mixing speed is adjustable between 30 and 120 rpm, driven by a motor with power ranging from 5.5 to 45 kW. Higher speeds are used for faster mixing, while lower speeds are suitable for gentle agitation. The optimal speed depends on the viscosity and volume of the mixture.
