Alfa Laval IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer

Alfa Laval Rotary Jet Mixer - IM 10

The patented IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer (RJM) does not only mix fast, efficient and uniform but creates also the necessary process flexibility that makes it easy to switch to new product formulations with diverse viscosities, densities and volumes. Besides classic liquid to liquid mixing the RJM is excellent for gas and powder dispersion plus a superb tank cleaning machine.

Applications
Process and storage vessels between 1-10 m3 used in a wide range of industries such as: beer & beverage, food & ingredients, home & personal care, health care, biotech and chemical industry etc.

Operation
Secure that the mixer is positioned in the correct level and submerged into the liquid before round pumping or when adding any additional products from any up-stream pipe works.

Benefits
Using the IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer makes it possible, at a modest investment, to perform fast and efficient mixing in a hygienic system. In traditional systems, using propeller mixers, a rotating shaft penetrates the tank wall, and a mechanical seal and a gear box are installed. With the Rotary Jet Mixer technology the shaft, seal and gearbox are eliminated, and a more hygienic design is obtained. With the Rotary Jet Mixing technology good mixing is achieved without the use of baffles. The Rotary Jet Mixer can also be used for gas dispersion. The IM 10 can furthermore be used for efficient CIP when the tank is empty, saving liquid, chemicals and energy compared to a fixed spray ball CIP system.
