Know Your Mixer Impeller/Agitator Blade Axial Flow Impellers

• Axial flow impellers are shear impellers that facilitate axial flow in fluids (cyclic movement of fluid in a down-up direction).
• Individual blades are typically pitched at a 45 degree angle to facilitate shear stress.
• Axial flow impellers have a balanced shear stress to fluid displacement ratio.
• This ratio can be varied by using blades with a different pitch to match the application.

They are well suited for a broad range of applications, making them one of the more common types of impellers. Applications include:

• High to low viscosity fluid blending
• Suspension of solids, flocculation
• Gas dispersion
