The Wilden Mixing System

Wilden is proud to introduce the second product in Wilden's new Typhoon™ Process Equipment division for non-AODDP products and accessories. The pneumatically powered Typhoon™ Mixing Systems incorporate a patented conical impeller design to draw solids off the bottom of a drum or tote for maximum fluid dispersion throughout the process. The mixers are offered in a variety of styles suited for a wide variety of applications throughout industry.

Typhoon™ Mixing Systems are available in four configurations for both drums and totes. The shafts and impellers are all made from 316L stainless steel for durability and chemical resistance and can be extended for deep totes and tanks. These air-driven mixers are intrinsically safe for installation in hazardous areas where explosion proof electric mixers may not be economically feasible.

Hot Points:

Light Weight

The total system weighs less than 40 pounds, making it easy to transport. The operator takes the system to the drum/mini-bulk tank rather than the drum to a stationary mixing system.

Reduces Fugitive Emissions

The extruded, aluminum top (FERC) completely covers both drums and mini-bulk tanks, and is uniquely designed to reduce fugitive emissions. Also, the sides lift up, allowing the operator full access to the containers for placement of pumps and/or the addition of other materials.

Simplified Drive System

Compared to traditional systems that use a gear-reducer, the Wilden Mixing Systems implements a 4 HP direct-drive air motor suitable for use in an explosive atmosphere.

Versatility

The Wilden Mixing Systems can be converted from a drum to a mini-bulk tank mixer with just the addition of a shaft extender (the viscosity and volume of the material determines whether one or two impellers are needed). The Wilden Mixing Systems effectively eliminates the need for drums with built-in agitators.

Longevity

The shaft and the impeller are made of 304 stainless steel for strength and durability.

Better Agitation

The impeller is designed to pump large volumes of liquids from the bottom of the container. It creates a flow pattern above and below the impeller allowing for complete sediment disbursement throughout the container. This makes for less mixing time compared to traditional impellers. The impeller is designed for low shear and reduces air entrapment by not creating a large vortex.

Application

The Wilden Mixing System can be used to mix paint, chemicals, adhesives, ink, food products, petroleum products, waste treatments, agriculture, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and many other processes.
