MIXER
About the
HELICAL TYPE STATIC MIXER
A helical-type static mixer is a device that continuously mixes fluids using only the helical element installed inside the piping, without requiring power. As fluid flows through a pressure differential, the flow path is repeatedly divided, sheared, and recombined along the fixed helical elements inside, achieving uniform mixing.
Advantage
Suitable for continuous mixing of low-viscosity fluids
Low pressure loss and excellent energy efficiency
Simple structure, easy cleaning and washing
Low installation and fabrication costs
How it works
The mixing elements of a helical-type static mixer are mounted inside the housing pipe. These mixing elements consist of a 90-degree rotated counterclockwise helical element connected to a clockwise helical element. The fluid moves from the pipe periphery toward the center, and as it passes through the fixed mixing elements, the flow direction repeatedly alternates. The flow reversal between counterclockwise and clockwise directions converts the fluid from a laminar to a turbulent state, inducing more efficient mixing.
