suspense

An IBC Mixer from Chemineer is successfully helping Southern Water achieve greater consistency with the chemicals it uses for a sludge thickening process at Fairlee WWTW, near Newport on the Isle of Wight Previously, the Polyelectrolyte, which is delivered in IBCs to Southern Water, used to settle, but the Chemineer clamp-on mixers quickly re-suspend the container contents that become settled out during storage

Mixer gets the taste for milk and alcohol
A Kenics KMR-SAN static in-line mixer from Chemineer has helped improve the quality of a milk and cream-based alcoholic liqueur made in Ireland: by providing complete homogeneity
"The introduction of the Chemineer mixer means that we now benefit from a well-mixed, consistent draw", said Kevin Houghton at Southern Water.
"The Polyelectrolyte no longer thickens up, so we have a much better quality mix to apply to the sludge process".
Designed for use with industry-standard IBCs of 800 litres and 1000 litres, Chemineer IBC Mixers are also suitable for a wide variety of water industry viscous liquids, highly settled solids and slurries that need to be stirred, agitated, mixed or homogenised.
Significant savings can be made on transfer and cleaning time, and there is an option to add a small hopper to the mixer so that powders can be added if required.
Also benefiting from a folding impeller, the shaft fits through all standard 150mm IBC cap size diameters, after which the unit can be firmly secured in place with fast-action toggle clamps.
The IBC Mixer has a lightweight, stainless steel bridge that can be easily lifted and mounted onto the frame of an IBC by two people, or by simple use of a hoist or forklift.
As a safety measure, the IBC Mixer includes an interlock that immediately switches the mixer off if accidentally lifted when in operation.
