Target
Minimize concentration or temperature deviations in a laminar liquid flow to guarantee optimum product quality.
Laminar mixing is achieved by repeated division, transposition and recombination of liquid flowing around a static mixer. The components to be mixed are spread into a large number of fine layers. A static mixer consists of several identical mixing elements. The more mixing elements, the finer the layers. The finer the layers, the better the homogeneity of the mixture.
