Of particular interest to the agricultural, chemical, paint and phosphating industries, the Bete TurboMix eductor offers a lightweight and inexpensive alternative to mechanical mixing methods.
The TurboMix agitates liquids, or liquids with suspended solids, to improve circulation, maintain uniform liquid characteristics, mix chemicals, or move solids along the bottom of a tank.
Depending on the model and operating pressure, the volume of liquid discharged from the TurboMix will be 4-5 times greater than the volume of motive fluid pumped through the system.
Consisting of a discharge orifice, and a carefully shaped venturi section, the TurboMix is submerged inside a tank while motive liquid is pumped, under pressure, through the discharge orifice.
The jet of motive liquid enters the venturi section, drawing additional liquid from the tank, and out through the venturi.
A discharge plume of combined motive and drawn liquids exits the venturi and continues the mixing and agitating action for a substantial distance.
The operation of the TurboMix creates a multiplying effect on fluid flow.
The TurboMix is available in a wide variety of materials to suit any application.
For example, glass-filled polypropylene provides excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight and low cost, and, for applications where metal alloy is required, Bete manufactures the TurboMix in bronze, cast iron or 316 stainless steel.
The approximate temperature limits of these materials are: glass-filled polypropylene 170øF (77øC), bronze 755øF (402øC), cast iron 450øF (232øC) and 316 stainless steel 800øF (427øC).
