Advanced Pitch Propeller

The Advanced Pitch Propeller mixer, intelligently designed such that the geometry of the blades initially accelerates stationary fluid and then continues to convert all incoming flow into an axial, collimated plume resembling a free jet. In applications where the propeller to tank diameter is on the order of 1%, such as petroleum storage, the economics and process requirements are unsuitable for standard top entry mixing systems.

Efficient Side Entry Mixing

The side entry propeller solution delivers an exceptionally efficient flow profile that closely resembles a fluid jet. Its discharge dynamics mimic a free jet so accurately that jet physics can be applied to describe its performance—unlike other side-entering propellers that struggle to produce a fully axial jet.

Patented Circular Rake Design

Featuring a patented circular rake, the Advanced Pitch Propeller achieves superior fluid flow characteristics. This innovation enables lower mixer horsepower requirements while maintaining comparable performance to traditional marine-style propellers.

Performance and Energy Efficiency

The key advantage of the Advanced Pitch Propeller lies in its ability to deliver similar blending performance with reduced energy consumption. Thanks to its unique design, it requires significantly less horsepower than other marine-style propellers, making it a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for side entry mixing.

Key Applications

Used in side-entry tank applications such as petroleum storage or digesters. A highly efficient pumper which requires less power for equivalent pumping capacity permitting the use of a smaller impeller.
