Process Equipment Update
The Delta Blade is a plough-type mixer, with a precisely engineered blade shape that uses the principles of high agitator speeds to radially and axially accelerate the product formulation in a short criss-cross pattern within the mixer shell.
Higher levels of shear are produced with lower power consumption than more conventional mixers, meaning that batches are mixed quickly, thoroughly and homegenously using minimum energy and reducing the carbon footprint of the new installation.
Efficient mixing action Since entering service a further benefit of the Delta Blade system has been noted due to its highly efficient mixing action: despite the nature of the materials in use, no wear parts have been replaced in over two years of operation. The new MT industrial mixing tanks from Protectoplas
include standard sizes covering batches from 30 to 8000 usable gallons (113-30 000 litres). Protectoplas can also provide custom sizes for larger or
smaller batching requirements. The mixing tanks are constructed from high density
polyethylene (HDPE) resin for its outstanding chemical resistance and include an integral HDPE mixer support system that provides easy access along with a low profile to save vertical space. Designed for indoor or outdoor use, the new Protectoplas
mixers feature crucial components from State Electric and Baldor motors. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are included as standard
with components of packaged mix tank systems, allowing users full control of motor speed, and adjusting for varying viscosities. The company says that specification is generating
extremely positive feedback from customers. All wetted mixer parts are T316 Stainless Steel, and
Protectoplas offers several coating options for harsher chemicals. Gear reduction, totally enclosed, fan-cooled mixer motor
options, and agitators are also offered. Mixer gear reduction is standard on tanks larger than 500
gallon (1900 litre) capacity. Standard agitators included with packaged systems cover
viscosities from 0-300 Centipoise, but can be tailored to specific customer requirements.
Mixing tank After years of development and tracking customer feedback Protectoplas has announced the MT mixing tank line. Pre-engineered to handle a wide range of applications, robust industrial design, along with a quick and easy set up make the MT a suitable solution for most companies operating in in today’s market. Overall Protectoplas offers a wide range of products
backed by years of field service and experience. The company says its welded flanges, MT mixing tank
line, DW double walled tank line, Bleach-Guard System, AG-TANK II, and custom fabrication abilities make Protectoplas an ideal source for local and global companies seeking chemical resistant parts. ■
