Kenics KMX Static Mixer

Principles of Operation:

• Utilizes cross-stream mixing and flow splitting for rapid blending.
• Each element consists of intersecting blades that create fluid layers.
• Concave blades offer better cross-stream flow than flat blades for superior mixing in high viscosity ratio applications.
• Low viscosity additives are driven along the blade trough and sheared by strong cross-stream velocity gradients.

Laminar Blending:

• Additive is driven along the trough of each blade.
• Sheared into finer striations at blade intersections and distributed evenly through the pipe.

Head-to-Head Comparison:

• The KMX rated number one in tests for mixing efficiency per unit length.
• Concave surfaces promote better cross-stream flow compared to competitive models with flat blades.
• Pressure drop per unit length was identical to competitors, indicating higher mixing efficiency.

Dispersions:

• Effective for dispersing liquids into high viscosity fluids, forming droplets of decreasing diameter as they progress down the pipeline.

• Superior Mixing Efficiency: Concave blades enhance cross-stream flow and mixing performance.

• High-Viscosity Capability: Designed for fluids with extreme viscosity and volume ratios.

• Proven Performance: Rated number one in head-to-head tests for mixing efficiency per unit length.

• Effective Dispersion: Capable of dispersing liquids into high viscosity fluids with uniform droplet size.
