It goes without saying that mixing and blending happen to be some of the most important tasks in several industries, especially where liquids and gases are involved. Blenders are not just needed when making pancakes!

For large mixing purposes, tank mixers are used. They are conventional and old-fashioned but do the job in large factories and manufacturing facilities. Problems arise with mixing smaller amounts of materials. Large mixers cannot handle small amounts, leading to rising costs and time.

This is when static mixers are used. Komax Systems Inc is a leading producer of high quality static mixers for the last 40 years. Their triple action static mixer is one of their most popular products. A lot of companies manufacture static mixers today, but not all of them offer the same high quality.

Since 1973 (long before the terrible The Force Awakens and pitiful Iron Man II came out and the NBA helped the 00 and 02 Lakers win the championship), Komax has been producing world class static mixers for several industries. Although they manufacture different types of static mixers, the triple action static mixer from Komax is one of the most renowned.

What is a triple action static mixer?

There are several different types of static mixers manufactured by Komax. The most remarkable feature of the Komax static mixers is the triple action functionality.

Triple action static mixers provide the highest efficiency in mixing.  These motionless static mixers have a short mixing length, improving efficiency. These static mixers are meant for use in areas where additives in the main pipeline flow are already upstream in the mixer.

This three step mixing design allows choosing the line size, number of mixing elements, and pressure drop. Usually, a static mixer has three or four elements.

These mixers are also available with custom configurations, including different end fittings, multiple ports, and different style of mixing elements. These custom quotes are available upon request from Komax.

Types of mixing by tripe action static mixers

There are three distinct types of mixing that Komax triple action static mixers can achieve:

Counter-Rotating Back-Mixing: By rotating in opposite directions, tunneling, and streaming effects are eliminated.

Cross Current Mixing: This type of mixing has special cavities randomizing the distribution of material to make the distribution process effective.

Two by Two Division: In this case, the mixer repeatedly divides the process stream, where the number of previous divisions is doubled. Recombination are produced by the divisions.

Komax has been in business since 1973 and produced over 40 patents in mixing and heat transfer. When you buy from the world leader, you are dealing with the best static mixing company.
