Mixers are key equipment for most chemical engineering pro-cesses. For more than 50 years, Mersen has designed and ma-nufactured mixers for numerous applications to comply with specific customer needs.

Mixers are composed of a mechanical part called the head and an hydraulic part called the impeller which is the core of the mixer. The design of the impeller is the key to ensure the most cost-effective process.

Mersen has been developing impellers and various head constructions for years to efficiently cope with most processes and to ensure extended reliability of the mixers. Mixers can be combined with reactors to compose a turnkey skid.

Mersen provides a large range of mixers and impellers: - Top-entry mixers without sealing - Top-entry mixers with sealing- Side-entry mixers- Customized mixers - Heavy-duty mixers and rakers - Impellers

Key Applications

• Phosphoric acid

• Fine chemicals & pharmaceuticals

• Petrochemicals

• Mining and hydrometallurgy

• Energy, oil and gas

• Environment, waste and water treatment
