Industries

• Chemicals • Polymers • Formulated consumer products • Flue gas desulfurization, water treatment • Biofuels and bio refineries • Hydrometallurgy

Applications

• Mixing and storage tanks • Reactors • Polymerization (suspension, pearl, emulsion) • Crystallization and precipitation • Leaching processes

Benefits

• High pumping rate, fast blending • High flow velocities • Increased heat transfer rates • Excellent solids suspending performance • Adaptable local shear rates • Intensive surface motion for entrainment • Easy cleaning

Features

• Multi-purpose impeller • Wide viscosity range, non-Newtonian • Standard versions with blade angles of 25° and 53° • Variable blade angles • 2, 3 or 4 impeller blades available • Suitable for non-Newtonian products

The EKATO VISCOPROP is the multi-purpose impeller for different viscosity ranges and is ideally suited for products with non- Newtonian flow behavior as well. Different versions with standard blade angles and number of blades allow an adaption of this impeller type to specific process requirements. It is particularly easy to clean due to its blade attachment design with stub arms.
