Specifications

Why Choose Our product?

• Modular Design: Quickly adapt mixing stages or scale up processes without downtime.
• Corrosion Resistance: Built with PP, PPH, or PMMA to handle acidic/alkaline solutions.
• Precision Control: Integrated sensors monitor pH, temperature, and liquid levels.
• Energy Efficiency: Reduced power consumption aligns with green manufacturing goals.

Material & Processing Methods

• PP/PPH: Ideal for sulfuric acid or chloride environments.
• Transparent PVC/PMMA: Enables real-time observation of phase separation.
• Welded Joints: Ensure leak-free operation under high-speed agitation.

How Does a Pilot Scale Mixer Settler Work?

1. Mixing Stage: Agitators blend two immiscible phases (e.g., organic and aqueous) to transfer target compounds.
2. Settling Stage: Liquids separate by density in clarified zones, with adjustable weirs controlling interface height.
3. Automation: Optional PLC systems adjust agitator speed or phase ratios for consistent results.

Key Functions

• Prevent bubbling and phase entrainment.
• One-step tank filling/emptying for faster batch cycles.
• Customizable sensor integration (e.g., liquid level alarms).

User Guide

1. Select mixing volume and material based on chemical compatibility
   When selecting the mixing volume, consider the scale of your operation and the quantity of substances to be processed. For example, in a large - scale industrial setting, a high - capacity mixer might be required. Equally important is choosing materials that are chemically compatible with the substances being mixed. Aggressive chemicals could corrode common materials, leading to leaks or equipment failure. Our team of experts can assist in analyzing the chemical properties of your substances and recommending appropriate mixer volumes and materials, ensuring safe and efficient mixing processes.
2. Configure stages and sensors via our CAD - supported design team
   Our CAD - supported design team offers a comprehensive service for configuring the stages of your mixing and separation system. They use advanced computer - aided design software to precisely layout each stage, ensuring optimal flow and interaction of substances. Additionally, sensors are carefully integrated into the design. These sensors, such as those for temperature, pressure, or phase detection, are strategically placed to provide real - time data. The design team tailors the configuration to your specific process requirements, enhancing the overall performance of the system.
3. Test with a 24 - hour trial run to optimize phase separation efficiency
   A 24 - hour trial run is an essential step in fine - tuning your system for maximum phase separation efficiency. During this trial, the system operates continuously, allowing us to monitor how well the different phases separate over an extended period. We can make adjustments to parameters like agitator speed, flow rates, or the composition of separation aids. By analyzing the results of the trial run, we can identify and address any issues that may be hindering the separation process, ultimately optimizing the system for your particular application.
