Plastic Static Mixers

Options of Plastic Static Mixers

StaMixCo fabricates a wide variety of High Performance & Medium Performance static mixing elements in plastic construction. Sizes range from 1.7 mm (0.067”) diameter to many feet in diameter. Materials of construction include Polypropylene, PVC, Kynar, Nylon and PTFE Teflon®. All of the mixing elements available in plastic are also available in metal construction. Many of the plastic mixing elements are standard stock items with shipment next day after purchase order.

The StaMixCo website section titled “2-Component Resin Static Mixers” describes many plastic mixing elements with housings that are designed for use as disposable mixers in the resin processing industry. These identical plastic static mixers are very often used in other industry segments and applications. This website page titled “Plastic Static Mixers” describes the general categories of plastic static mixers that we fabricate which can be used in virtually any fluid processing industry and application such as for general chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food, water & waste water treatment, 2-Component resin processing, etc. Below is an overview of the High Performance and Medium Performance static mixers we fabricate in plastic construction where details are to be found in the below referenced literature.

High Performance Plastic Static Mixing Elements

The high performance mixing elements have the characteristic feature of Inclined Plates such as the Model GX™ static mixer which create a high degree of mixing in a short length as shown in Figure #1:

Figure #1: High Performance Type GX mixing elements create a homogeneous mixing in a short length.

Model GXR-P™ Plastic Mixing Elements (High Performance)

Figure #4: The GXR-P™ plastic mixing elements are available with OD=29.7 mm (1.169”) X ID=21 mm (0.826”) in Polypropylene and 50% Glass-Filled-Nylon construction. The mixing elements are normally inserted into stainless steel tubing.

Model GXF™ Plastic Mixing Elements (High Performance)

Figure #5: The GXF™ plastic mixing elements are available with OD=11.7 mm (0.46”) X ID=10 mm (0.394”) in Polypropylene construction. The mixing elements are normally inserted into plastic and stainless steel tubing.

Model GXL™ Plastic Mixing Elements (High Performance)

Figure #6: The GXL™ plastic mixing elements are available in diameters larger than 3” in PVC and Polypropylene construction. The mixing elements are normally inserted into PVC, FRP and stainless steel pipe. Shown in photograph is a 10” Diameter X 66” Long unit in PVC construction with 2-mixing elements and gas pull-down plate on the left feed side of the mixer to assure unreacted oxygen is contacted with the fracking water to be treated.

Model GV™ Plastic Mixing Elements (High Performance)

Figure #7: The GV™ plastic mixing elements are available in diameters larger than 3” in Polypropylene, Kynar and PTFE Teflon® construction. The mixing elements are normally inserted into PVC, FRP and PTFE lined pipe. Shown in photograph is a 12” Diameter X 36” Long polypropylene static mixing element assembly with homogeneity spacer in the center and mounted in an FRP flanged housing.

Medium Performance Plastic Static Mixing Elements

The medium performance helical mixing elements have the characteristic feature of an alternating left-right twisted bowtie helical shape which requires a long length to create a reasonable degree of mixing as shown in Figure #8:
