Laminar mixing

Laminar mixing processes are based on the repeated separation of the flow into layers, followed by redistribution and recombination parallel to the flow direction. The number of layers, and hence the homogeneity, increases with each additional mixing element. The design and length of the mixer vary according to the mixing task. The challenge confronting manufacturers is to offer an efficient, energy saving mixer for every mixing application.

Fluitec CSE-X®, the newest generation of laminar mixers, has openings in the wall area. This innovative feature reduces the pressure drop for even the most complex mixing tasks by up to 50% compared to conventional mixer geometries – without compromising the mixing quality. The Fluitec portfolio includes numerous optimised special-purpose mixers for extreme mixing tasks or specific residence time distribution requirements.
