Radial Disc Impeller
This impeller uses
four, six or eight vertical blades attached to a horizontal
disc. The impeller pumps out in a radial direction and
generates a recirculating mixing pattern above and below the
disc. This type of design is stable under varying liquid
depths. This high shear, high power design is an excellent
choice as a rapid mixer in shallow basins, solids
suspensions in shallow or varying water depths, and is often
used as the lower impeller in a multiple impeller
design.

Open Radial
This impeller uses
four vertical blades attached to a small central hub. This
impeller pumps out in a radial direction. This high shear
unit is an excellent choice for mixing applications where
the tank inlet is located in the bottom of the tank.

Curved Blade Radial
This impeller uses
four vertical blades that are formed in a curved or swept
design. This impeller also pumps out in a radial direction.
The curved blade design is good for solids mixing
applications where resuspension of settled solids maybe
required after the mixer is shut down. This impeller is good
for applications like carbon slurry, sludge mixing, chemical
day tanks - and in combination with axial impellers for
chemical and sludge service.

Axial Mix
This impeller is the
standard 45 degree pitch blade workhorse that has four (4)
blades attached to a hub and pumps either downward or upward
in an axial direction. The blade width can be modified to
match specific design requirements. In general it has much
lower power consumption while maintaining high pumping
characteristics than radial designs. This impeller is
general purpose, which makes its use good for rapid mixer,
chemical blending, solids suspension, and chlorine contact
applications.

High Efficiency Axial
This design includes
three or four blade units with varying angles, blade width,
and blade contours. The high efficiency designs optimize
pumping capabilities while minimizing power consumption.
This design is being applied to more and more applications
due to power saving characteristics; such as, anoxic zone or
bioreactor mixers, chemical mixers, solids suspension
mixers, sludge mixers, chlorine contact mixers and in
general most mixer
applications.

Axial Flocculator
The axial flow
flocculating type impeller was developed specifically for
flocculation applications. It is a midrange design between
the axial mix and high efficiency axial impeller types so
that a large impeller can be used in a flocculation basin
yielding good pumping characteristics while imparting the
required power with lower tip speeds than typically required
by the flocculation process.
