General Purpose Mixers

SMI / KVM

The Sulzer static mixers type SMI and KVM are ideal for liquid/liquid mixing in the turbulent flow regime. The mixers can be used for the mixing of gases as well.

Both mixer types are equipped with elements whose geometry and arrangement have been optimized with CFD. These elements create large counter rotating vortices which propagate over the entire cross section of the pipe to completely mix the entire cross section and even at the area close to the wall.

 

The SMI is mainly sold in Europe and in Asia whereas the KVM is the standard product for the North and South American market.

 

The SMI mixer has an open structure which eliminates the risk of clogging. In combination with appropriate dosing arrangements, simple construction, low pressure drops and efficient mixing within a short distance are particular features of this mixer design. The SMI mixer in standard design is available in stainless steel and carbon steel. Flanges will be supplied according to DIN 2501, ANSI B 16.5 or other standards. Special executions in other materials or for installation in rectangular or square conduits are available on request.

 

  The KVM offers a pressure drop of only 11’’ of water column at 5 ft/sec. It can mix additives introduced upstream of the mixer or it can mix additives injected directly in front of the first mixing element. In order to allow the injection of multiple additives with one mixer the KVM can also be made with multiple injection port connections. The KVM can mix the additives without a sparger. The KVM is normally made from 316L SS with 150# flanges, but it can also be made in PP, FRP and PVC. Other materials are available upon request.
