Equalizer Mixing Module –

The Komax Equalizer® Mixing Module consists of six mixing chambers installed with Komax’ helical mixing elements that allow contacting of the steam and product to be heated (i.e. water). These elements will then divide and recombine the process flow to form multiple impingent blending zones that produce high turbulence and small steam bubble sizes for a more uniform temperature output with no vibration, no water hammer, and no excessive noise.
