    Another question: Is the shape of the stirrer one of the factor creating vortex? Meaning concave stirrer plate vs converge stirrer plate.

    Designing a spiral stirrer

    Facs, I have made a new stirrer with bigger diameter (bigger by 50mm each side). Speed is not an issue at this moment as we can achieve the speed that we need. The problem is, stil doesn't create vortex. The stirrer does not stir but more to agitate that cause turbulance. I've reduce the speed...

    Designing a spiral stirrer

    Thanks for all your replies. I can say that the stirring is really an issue as the mixture doesn't mixed well compared to the 1st 2 tanks. For the 1st 2 tanks, as we pumped in the liquid inside tanks which will create bubbles and after we pour in chemical and start stirring. Within a minute the...

    Designing a spiral stirrer

    Hi. Liquid viscosity & blade angle are same for all the tanks. Immersion depth is defferent. Is it the possible cause of my prob? For the 1st 2 tanks, the spiral is only 2 rev. The 3rd tank, previously 2 rev. then modified to have 3 rev.

    Designing a spiral stirrer

    Yes. It doesn't create vortex. I made 2 stirrers before (different tank diameter) and it works. So I wonder if the diameter of the stirrer is small compared to the tank dia., or the position of the stirrer (offset 1/4 od tank d) which is same as 2 previous tanks. The gearmotor for all these 3...

    Designing a spiral stirrer

    I have problem in designing a spiral stirrer. I've made a spiral stirrer for my tanks, dia. 1076mm and height 1615mm. The problem is the stirrer can't create a vortex. What should I consider in design a spiral stirrer? I
