  • What types of products is this mixer suitable for?

    The propeller mixer is ideal for:

    • Liquid-to-liquid blending
    • Oil-to-oil mixing
    • Dispersing free-flowing powders into liquids
    • General agitation of low to medium viscosity formulations

    It is commonly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food production environments.

  • What viscosity range can the propeller mixer handle?

    The mixer is suitable for products with viscosities of up to 2,000 cP (mPas), depending on motor selection and batch size.

  • What speed does the propeller mixer operate at?

    The standard operating speed is 1,400 rpm, providing consistent and controlled mixing performance.

    Optional configurations may allow speed variation depending on process requirements.

  • What batch sizes can it handle?

    The propeller mixer is designed for batch volumes from 20 litres upwards.

    It is compatible with vessels up to 800mm base diameter, with final capacity dependent on product viscosity and motor selection.
