The range of high shear ME-6100 RE recirculation tank bottom mixers is a highly hygienic solution for the processes of dispersion, emulsion, homogenisation and disintegration of solids for a large number of products in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries.
This head of the recirculation mixer is designed to recirculate all the product in order to achieve better product homogenisation throughout the tank, meaning the mixing is not limited to the bottom of the tank. They can be used in open or closed tanks, at atmospheric pressure or under pressure/vacuum. Recirculation tank bottom mixers are particularly indicated for operating with anchor type agitators or a counter-rotating agitators.
Operating principle
The ME-6100 RE recirculation tank bottom mixer range can pump the product, recirculating it inside the tank, or rather using the mixer to empty or transfer the product.
This model of mixers uses a specifically designed head, as they have a closer-fitting rotor-stator unit, where the product passes through the unit and it gets fully flooded. The rotor’s high speed combined with the adjusted tolerance between the rotor and the stator causes a powerful suction effect on the product, which pushes it to the periphery of the head where it can be pumped outwards.
The design of the mixer is fully drainable via the eccentric port connection.
