Y JET MIXER

In-Tank Mixing System For Liquid Blending, Powder Incorporation And Dispersion

• eliminates vortexing and unwanted air entrainment
• eliminates product stratification throughout the vessel
• reduces blend times by as much as 80%
• easily suspends and re-suspends high-settling rate solids
• improves heat transfer
• easily maintains complete tank motion of non-Newtonian fluids
• low shear, bulk tank mixing for gentle handling of shear-sensitive products

Typical Applications Vitamins & Minerals Granulation Solutions Creams & Lotions Cough Syrup Medicated Syrups Antibiotics Antacids Tablet Coatings Maximum Performance The Quadro Ytron Y Jet Mixer uses a unique rotor/stator mixing head that creates a pure axial flow discharge jet to provide efficient in-tank mixing and blending. The wasteful radial flow and vortexing that are the downfall of conventional open impeller design mixers are gone forever. Air entrainment is virtually eliminated without the use of baffles. The Y Jet Mixer’s strong axial flow pattern produces a uniform velocity profile, thoughout the vessel with no stratification or dead areas, improving heat transfer rates and reducing batch blending times by as much as 80%. The Y Jet Mixer’s flow characteristics are ideal for the suspension and re-suspension of high-settling-rate solids.

Quadro's Approach An innovative by-pass tube makes use of the strong negative pressures at the Y Jet Mixer’s rotor to draw powders and liquids directly into the rotor/stator head. The result is the immediate sub-surface dispersion of powders and viscous pastes into the liquid phase. Shear is applied to the product as it is discharged from the bypass tube for single-pass dispersing.
