MIXING EDUCTORS FOR LIQUID AND SLURRY APPLICATIONS
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. An exchange of momentum occurs when the powder intersects with the motive fluid. The dynamic turbulence between the two components produces an uniformly mixed stream traveling at a velocity intermediate between the motive and suction velocities through a constant diameter throat where mixing is completed. The diffuser is shaped to reduce the velocity gradually and convert velocity energy back to pressure at the discharge with a minimum loss of energy.

  The LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR is different than the conventional Eductor because it deploys a patented three-dimensional nozzle used to generate a more turbulent pattern. The LOBESTAR® MIXING NOZZLE orifice is configured having a circular core with elliptical shaped lobes around the radius of the circular core. This nozzle geometry generates a coherent turbulent flow pattern that energizes the boundary in the diffuser section of the Eductor, providing efficient pressure recovery and intimate mixing in a short time to length scale. There are no obstructions in the mixing chamber or passageway, preventing clogging and flow-back through the hopper.
