HTPG4® three-bladed-impeller agitator
Model :
HTPG4®
Applications :
The axial flow impeller “par excellence”
The design of the Pierre Guerin patented impeller HTPG4® originated from work focusing on two hydrodynamic mixing objectives, essential for the mixing of any fragile or shear sensitive product:
- to minimise the shear effect
- to obtain maximum efficiency ratio: circulation rate / power consumption, in order to optimise the production cycle-time and minimize the electrical consumption.
Our mixing expertise combining the understanding of the client processes together with the HTPG4® performance brings the best solution to your mixing requirements.
Flow efficiency of the HTPG4 impeller is unique.
- the minimum shear effect generated by the impeller allows for an optimum preservation of the product structure and integrity (fat matter, proteins, cells, etc.)
- the impeller design induces an oriented flux that avoids any radial leak and generates two distinct upward and downward flows. Circulation rate and thus mixing time are enhanced.
- consumed power is minimized due to the very low Power Number (0.67) of the HTPG4 impeller.
Practical case
