TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
PUMPING MIXERS
Fast rotation inside a suction pipe transforms the AP direct drive mixer into a pumping mixer (or axial pump), making it ideal for moving large quantities of liquid with slight differences in level.
HIGH VOLUMES OF LIQUID
AP mixers are a valid alternative to recirculation pumps: at the same power, they are able to handle larger volumes of liquid, obtaining more uniform solutions.
SPACE-SAVING INSTALLATION
For off-centre installation in the corners of tanks, occupying minimum space. Assembly outside the tank is also possible. The installation of AP mixers allows continuous and homogeneous circulation of liquids, even in long and narrow tanks.
INTUBATED PROPELLER
With high flow rates and low installed power. With upward mixing flows and mighty movement of liquid. Double-window or side delivery suction pipe.

ALWAYS HOMOGENEOUS BATHS
One of the typical applications of our pumping mixers is represented by the surface treatments of metals (electroplating baths and pickling, among many others) when it is necessary to maintain uniform chemical-physical characteristics of the baths (in terms of temperature and concentration) in the process tanks (which are usually long and narrow). At the same time, AP pumping mixers leave wide access to the tank because their off-centre position occupies a very small space and is always easy to reach to carry out maintenance.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
PP
The most widely used
anti-acid plastic polymer for use in corrosive environments. It offers good resistance to most acid and alkaline solutions and can be used, depending on the concentration of the aggressive liquids, up to a temperature of 80°C.
PVC
Plastic material with excellent resistance to acids, bases, saline solutions and organic compounds. PVC is generally used when treating sodium hypochlorite (NaClO).
At low temperatures it becomes fragile. The operating temperature is between 40 and 60°C.
PVDF
Thermoplastic with exceptional resistance to corrosion and temperature. PVDF covers a wide range of uses but is ideal for highly concentrated acids.It is not suitable for certain inorganic bases, such as caustic soda. Operating temperature: max. 100°C

PRACTICAL ADVANTAGES
AP industrial mixers are designed to keep the temperature and concentration of certain corrosive liquids constant, to stabilise aggressive solutions or to avoid stratifications that can occur when mixing different liquids. These off-centre pumping mixers are also used when space requirements make it impossible to install central or submerged mixers, as in the case of certain metal treatments where the tank area must be left free to move the products to be treated.
The use of pumping mixers represents a valid alternative to recirculation pumps. At the same power, pumping mixers (axial pumps) generate:
- greater movement of the liquid than that generated by centrifugal pumps.
- better uniformity of the liquid, facilitating control of the entire process.
- continuous circulation in the tank without occupying space which would be useful for processing.
HOW TO CHOOSE A MIXER
In order to size a specific mixer and ensure effective mixing, it is necessary to evaluate several variables which often interact with each other: the type of liquid (or liquids) to be mixed, the volume to be handled, the purpose of the process, the geometry of the container, the position of the mixer. In this preliminary operation, the manufacturer’s experience is always a decisive added value, given the changing conditions that frequently affect industrial processes and liquids.
