MIXER

About the

SMV TYPE STATIC MIXER

An SMV-type static mixer consists of intersecting corrugated plates and channels, providing excellent mixing performance while maintaining plug flow. SMV elements continuously divide, rearrange, and recombine the flow, progressively separating and mixing the fluid into finer layers, ultimately forming a uniform mixture.

Advantage

Suitable for medium-viscosity fluids or fluids containing particles and fibers

Low pressure drop and easy scale-up

Uniform mixing even for fluids with viscosity variations

Low flow resistance while maintaining mixing uniformity

How it works

The mixing elements of an SMV-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.
