The Sulzer static mixer SMV™ is ideal for applications requiring a distributive and homogeneous mixing and blending action in the turbulent flow regime.

Other typical duties for the Sulzer SMV mixer are applications requiring a dispersive mixing action or mass transfer in the turbulent flow regime. This occurs typically between immiscible phases (e.g. oil/water systems resp. gas/liquid), where an interfacial tension exists between the two or more phases. Higher shear forces are necessary for this dispersion duty. The Sulzer SMV mixing elements consist of intersecting corrugated plates and channels, which encourage a rapid mixing action in combination with plug flow progression through the mixer. Any number of additives can be mixed at the same time within the mixing zone. A high mixing efficiency combined with large turn-down processing capabilities and short mixing lengths as well as low energy requirements, zero maintenance are major advantages for this type of Sulzer mixer. A reference list of installations covering more than thirty five years equipment supply can provide a clear indication of the quality and popularity of the equipment being offered.
