Any process Industry where powders or granular materials are mixed with a liquid the interfacial contact between the primary (motive) flow and the secondary (suction) flow in the mixing chamber of an eductor determines the mix quality. The more stretching and folding, the more interfacial contact. The geometry of the LOBESTAR® JET NOZZLE generates a radial mixing region. The core flow interacts with the lobe flow providing rapid dynamic shearing and turbulent mixing. The intense vortices distribution in the mixing chamber of the LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR promotes the full potential of the dry powder or granular additives. Adequate mixing, entraining and dynamic shearing are essential in providing a homogenous product.
The LOBESTAR® JET NOZZLE and LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR are available in stainless steel for sanitary applications, as well as a variety of special materials, such as KYNAR® and UHMW. KYNAR® resists strong acids, solvents and reducing agents.
The design of the LOBESTAR® JET NOZZLE and LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR allow for application in the pneumatic conveyance of bulk product. The Lobestar® Jet Nozzle with its unique internal geometry generates multiple jet streams that emerge from the nozzle orifice. Each jet stream has an individual core with oscillating vortex rings that expand into a plume. The plume envelops the dry bulk product and carries it on an accelerating bed of air. The nozzle works in a pressure range of 30 to 100 psi, and outperforms the equivalent sized circular nozzle commonly found in most eductors.
Automated food processing equipment frequently utilizes eductors to convey cereals, grains, coffee beans and more. Eductors are easy to install and require very little maintenance because there are no moving parts.

| Lobestar® Mixing Nozzles | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Effective blending and mixing are an essential part of everyday operations in most process industries. In these applications the requirement may vary but the ultimate achievement is, generally, to have a homogenous product. The Vortex Mixing Nozzle is effective in performing more than one function with superb capability; suspending solids in a liquid, blending, emulsifying liquids, dissolving polymers, powders and granular materials in a liquid environment... | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lobestar® Mixing Eductors | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The term "Eductor" describes a jet pump without moving parts and utilizes fluid in motion to produce low pressure. Motive power is provided by a centrifugal or gear pump. The pressurized fluid stream is converted from pressure-energy to high velocity as the fluid enters a unique nozzle configuration, known as the LOBESTAR® NOZZLE. The issuing high velocity jet stream produces a strong suction in the mixing chamber of the LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR, causing a powder, granular material or a secondary fluid to be drawn through a suction port into the mixing chamber of the LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR... | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Effective blending and mixing are an essential part of everyday operations in most industrial process industries. Specific application requirements may vary but the ultimate achievement is to have a homogenous product. The LOBESTAR® Mixing Eductor is effective in speed mixing most powders and granular materials without the inherent problem of fisheyes or microgels. LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTORS are available in special materials, such as KYNAR® and UHMW. KYNAR® is one of the most stable commercial resins. KYNAR® resists strong acids, solvents and reducing agents... | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Radial Eductor™ II (Tank Eductor -316 Stainless Steel for Sanitary and Corrosion Resistant Applications) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The RADIAL EDUCTOR™ II is an innovative, patented tank mixer that offers versatility and flexibility in many liquid applications. The RADIAL EDUCTOR™ II provides a simple method in uniformly mixing, circulating and suspending tank volumes without "Dead-spots". The mixer is an efficient means of energy conservation. The volume output is four times the motive fluid input. The Radial Eductor II is fabricated from 316 Stainless Steel. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lobestar® shear mixers | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The LOBESTAR® shear mixer is a combination of two major components that are essential in providing rapid hydration, uniform dispersion and fast delivery. The two components that make up the LOBESTAR® shear mixer are; the RADIAL PREMIXER and the LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR. This combination of devices produce turbulent mixing and dynamic shear. The results are rapid hydration, uniform dispersion and fast delivery. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lobestar® shear mixers (Dual Suction) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Many mixing and blending processes require a dual suction device. The Dual Suction LOBESTAR® shear mixer efficiently meets the demanding requirements for getting the most potential from a chemical product. The LOBESTAR® shear mixer is a combination of two major components that are essential in providing rapid hydration, uniform dispersion and fast delivery, the RADIAL PREMIXER and the LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Radial Premixer II (Annular Jet Pump-316 Stainless Steel) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The Radial Premixer II is an Annular Jet Pump fabricated from 316 Stainless Steel, meeting all sanitary application requirements. The gap between the accelerator and internal wall is adjustable to accommodate variation in fluid viscosities and flow rates. The particle spreading caused by the centrifugal action completely eliminates particle adhesion or clumping associated with conventional mixing devices... | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dust-Free Bulk-Bag Handling System | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The Dust-Free Bulk-Bag Handling System meets the requirements for getting the most product potential in a dust-free environment.
