Custom Wafer Static Mixers

Custom Static Mixer

The patented Komax custom Wafer Static Mixer is designed to fit between existing pipe flanges of any specification. This makes the wafer-style static mixer easier for new and retrofit installations when there is limited space available and you are not able to install a traditional static mixer. In addition to solving the limited space availability, the Komax Wafer Static Mixer offers advantages over conventional static mixers by allowing up to three injection ports and utilizing patented vortex-generating element technology with clog-resistant counter-flow injection. Designed to clamp between pipe flanges Komax Wafer Mixer technology employs a unique vortex-generating element (see image group1) that helps achieve a desirable mixing quality by creating three-way counter-rotating vortex pairs as compared to typical energy-inefficient two-way mixers on the market. The element height and inclination angle offer short mixing length with low-pressure loss in various flow conditions. The additive chemical is introduced in the center line of the wafer static mixer on the upstream side. A discharge cone (see image group 2) enables the injected chemical to be distributed evenly through the three vortex-inducing passages. The pressure difference between the front and backside of each element produces a reversed flow that carries the chemical back toward the rear side of the mixer. Intensive mixing occurs by the resulting vorticial structure from the distinctive three-way counter-rotating vortex pairs.

Product Benefits

Non-clogging (Hi-Pass) Mixing Elements

Hydraulic forces generated by the patented hi-pass mixing elements disperse the centerline injected chemical across the pipe ID, thereby providing high degree of dispersion and mixing.

Additional Product Details

If your process is a non-batch-based process requiring consistent mixing within your system a static mixer may be right for you and your project. That being said, the best way to know if a static mixer is a right match for you is by getting in contact with our sales engineers who are expertly trained on the subject! Get your free quote today!
By having very specifically placed and pitched triple-action elements within the body of the inline static mixer, the flow of the fluid that is desired to be mixed acts as the propellant allowing the mixer to achieve near perfect homogeneity without added energy as there are no moving parts within our patented mixers. 
Because static mixers do not move and use the kinetic energy that is already present they require no added electrical energy to be used leading to energy cost savings. Along with energy cost savings, the internal elements can be designed for easy removal so they can be cleaned and maintained without much hassle allowing the life span of the mixer to be elongated making the static mixer itself to be an excellent investment for the greater pipeline process. 
While there are a number of different styles of static mixer offerings here at Komax Systems, such as Channel mixers, sanitary mixers, and custody transfer mixers to name a few, the base purpose and function of our static mixers is the same. The mixer uses fixed triple-action elements within itself to take advantage of the already present inertia of the solution passing along the pipes to effectively and efficiently mix the product without requiring any movement or expending any excess energy.
