| THE
DUAL SUCTION LOBESTAR® Shear Mixer |
| 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 two components that make up the Dual
Suction LOBESTAR® Shear Mixer are; the RADIAL
PREMIXER and the LOBESTAR® MIXING
EDUCTOR, shown below with attachable
SURGE TANK DUST CONTAINMENT ASSEMBLY on the right. |

slip stream is diverted from the primary pressurized flow to a tangential
inlet to the RADIAL
PREMIXER that is positioned above the Lobestar® Mixing
Eductor suction inlet. The partial flow stream entering
produces a strong vortex and radiates outwardly to the wall of the
RADIAL
PREMIXER. Powdered and granular materials that are led through
the conical hopper located above the PREMIXER are drawn into a low
pressure eye of the swirling fluid. The centrifugal force that is
generated in the RADIAL
PREMIXER separates the individual particles as the “wetting-out”
process is completed. This eliminates clumping, “fish-eyes” and
microgels. The slurry is then drawn into the mixing chamber of the
Lobestar® Mixing
Eductor. |

The
LOBESTAR® MIXING
EDUCTOR utilizes a continuous pressurized liquid
stream as the motive power, generally a centrifugal pump, to convert the
pressure energy into a high velocity stream. The high velocity liquid stream
caused by the converging geometry of the LOBESTAR® JET
NOZZLE produces a low pressure region (near perfect vacuum @ 25
PSI) in the mixing chamber of the EDUCTOR, drawing in the premixed slurry
from the RADIAL
PREMIXER. The LOBESTAR® JET
NOZZLE orifice configuration generates both axial and radial vortices
that interact and cause enhanced interfacial contact in the mixing chamber
of the LOBESTAR® MIXING
EDUCTOR. This downstream interaction provides turbulent mixing
and dynamic shear The results are rapid hydration, uniform dispersion and
fast delivery. Vortex Ventures model V VE - U - 6S/D DUAL SUCTION Shear Mixer

The
ability of a fluid to perform a specific function is dependent on it's rheologoical
properties. Adequate mixing, entrainment and shearing are essential in providing
product performance. |
