Static Mixing Technology
Reliable, energy-efficient fluid mixing using precision-engineered fixed elements with no moving parts.
Overview
What is Static Mixing Technology?
Static mixers are inline mixing devices that use a series of fixed, geometrically optimized internal elements to divide, redirect, and recombine fluid streams as they flow through a pipe or channel. Unlike dynamic mixers, they contain no moving parts, resulting in extremely low maintenance requirements and high reliability.
As fluid passes through the helical or structured elements, it undergoes repeated splitting and recombination, producing thorough and consistent mixing. The degree of mixing is determined by the number of elements, their geometry, and the flow characteristics of the fluids being processed.
Spans Envirotech provides custom-designed static mixer solutions for a wide range of applications, from chemical dosing in water treatment to blending viscous polymers in industrial processes. Our designs are optimized for each application to deliver the required mixing quality with minimal pressure drop.
Process
How Static Mixing Works
Fluid Entry
Two or more fluid streams enter the static mixer housing, where they encounter the first mixing element.
Flow Division
Fixed geometric elements split the flow into multiple layers, creating interfacial area between the fluids to be mixed.
Recombination
The divided streams are redirected and recombined in a controlled pattern, progressively achieving homogeneity along the mixer length.
Homogeneous Output
After passing through the complete element array, a uniformly mixed product exits the mixer ready for the next process step.
