IM-20 Rotary Jet Mixer
Overview

The Alfa Laval IM-20 Rotary Jet Mixer effectively handles liquid mixing, gas dispersion, powder mixing, and tank cleaning while reducing mixing time, energy consumption and costs. 

Patented, and based on proven Rotary Jet Head technology, the IM-20 provides quick, efficient and uniform mixing without any batch rotation or use of baffles. It also ensures greater process flexibility, making it easy to switch to product formulations with diverse viscosities, densities and volumes

IM-20 Applications

The IM-20 Rotary Jet Mixer is designed for liquid mixing, gas dispersion (aeration and carbonation), deaeration, and powder mixing in process and storage vessels from from 5 to 200 m3 in size across the dairy, food, beverage, brewery, healthcare, home and personal care, and biotechnology industries.

The IM-20 also acts as a superb Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) system in an empty tank, saving water, cleaning fluids and energy compared to spray ball CIP systems.

The Alfa Laval IM-20 Rotary Jet Mixer consists of a mixer body, turbine and nozzles. Compared to traditional systems using propeller mixers, there is no need for a shaft, seal or gearbox, which results in a more hygienic design. Excellent mixing is achieved without the use of baffles or any batch rotation. IM-20 mixers are designed for tank volumes from 5000L to 200,000L in size, and are capable of handling re-circulation flow rates up to 90 m3/h.

How the IM-20 Rotary Jet Mixer Works

Four nozzles feed the liquid, gas or powder into the liquid in the tank. While in operation, these nozzles rotate around both the horizontal and vertical axes in a 360º movement. This three dimensional jet rotation enables the jets to reach the entire tank volume, providing fast, efficient, hygienic mixing of the injected liquid, gas or powder without requiring any batch rotation.
