Designed for Viscous Slurry and Solids Suspension

The MHS hydrofoil agitator impeller is ideal for solids suspension applications where particle concentration affects slurry viscosity. Its design accommodates slightly viscous mixing conditions, making it suitable for shear-thinning fluids.

Efficiency and Performance

Like the Low Solidity Variant (LSV), the MHS offers hydraulic efficiency, low power number, and excellent solids suspension—outperforming traditional Pitched Blade Turbines (PBT). Its wider blades and slightly higher power number allow it to handle low-viscosity, shear-thinning slurries effectively.

Gas Dispersion and Multi-Phase Mixing

In gas dispersion applications, especially with up-pumping configurations, the MHS acts as a secondary dispersing and blending impeller. It complements a lower primary gas dispersing impeller in high gas load systems such as fermenters. The MHS hydrofoil is also suitable for three-phase mixing—solid, liquid, and gas—in mineral processing applications where low gassing duty and high solids concentration are present.

Key Applications

Medium and high viscosity blending, high concentration solids suspension, light duty gas dispersion.
