Application Know-how for Optimal Mixing

System DA - Degree of Agitation

What is the aim of agitation? For Scanpump it is To attain
the customers wanted process result by the most cost-
effective solution.
Choosing and designing agitators is related to the process
in which they will operate. Many factors affect the process
and mechanical aspects of the design procedure. Important
considerations are type of process, type of liquid, volume,
the shape of the tank etc. In some applications the density,
viscosity and solid content are the dominant factors.
Our long experience, our knowledge of the processes
and the ability to use this knowledge in our own design
programme have given even more effective agitators for
all kinds of mixing.
The demand to acheive a perfect result is to get an
optimal liquid motion for the specic process. Through
research and theoretical calculations we have developed
a correlation between the liquids surface velocity and
what we call Degree of Agitation - DA. This and the choice
of impeller is the foundation to decide the demand of the
mixing for different processes.

Benets Technical Features

Process guarantee: Desired mixing result obtained
Cost effective: Minimum power needed
Easy service: Designed for minimised downtime and
maintenance
High Flow Propellers: Better mixing, less vibrations,
minimises forces and power consumption
Sealing: Maintenance work without emptying the tank
Modular system: Same Modular System for all agitators

Support: Our specialists will ensure best mixing result No bottom bearing: Minimises maintenance

Design Criteria Liquid / Liquid Miscible liquids

Depending on the medias involved, they can be classi-
ed into three groups: liquid/liquid, liquid/particles and
liquid/gas.
Other kinds of application are also available but not
presented here.
For the liquid/liquid processes the design criteria is a
certain amount of Liquid Motion. The suitable impeller
is the patented SCABA High ow Propeller type 3SHP. It
revolutionised the market by its ability to lower the power
need drastically. It suits both to side and top entry agita-
tors. Further development of the original 3SHP1 has given
3SHP18 mainly used in low viscosity medias and 2SHPD
for high viscosity.
