For open mixing, type “2” mixers should be used. Standard units here are the type B2–60, C2–76, C2–102, C/E2–76, C/E2–102, E2-76, E2-102 mixers.

When using an open mixing propeller we always recommend the use of a mixer with a pusher propeller. The resulting currents can be advantageous.

As standard, all mixers are fitted with a suction propeller because not all mixer types are suitable for pusher propellers.

The mixers are fitted as standard with a propeller skid. The normal propeller skid is only intended to protect the mixing propeller. The normal propeller skid is not suitable for the circulation system because it has not been designed to withstand the axial forces that arise. In order to ensure the system can be used in the smallest of pit openings the propeller skid has been kept very short.

The transverse tube provides additional protection for the mixer against knocks from the side.

With special glide rail designs, type “2” mixers can also be used. The requirement for this is that the glide rail is fitted with locking elements on both sides. In order to fulfil all of the requirements we offer a reinforced propeller skid with 2 brackets and reinforced, support tube that is capable of withstanding the axial loads.

Because the open mixing propellers in circulation systems exhibit a performance loss of approx. 30% compared with mixers with

a fixed propeller cage, we do not recommend this type of mixing for circulation systems.

The type “2” slurry mixers (open mixing propellers) may only be used with a three point attachment. When fitted with a reinforced propeller skid and used in a circulation system, a bracket integrated into the angled rail can prevent the mixer from overturning.

For oil-filled mixers we recommend the fitting of an oil expansion tank to ensure optimum lubrication of the upper seal.

Depending on the type of application, a pipe reinforcement or support may be required for agitator lengths over 6 metres. This is available as an accessory. We will be happy to advise you on this.
