What is a side entry mixer used for?
Side entry mixers are used in large industrial tanks to create bulk circulation, maintain blend uniformity, suspend solids, and prevent stratification. They are commonly applied in petroleum storage, chemical processing, pulp and paper, and wastewater systems where tank diameters are large and energy efficiency is critical.
Can side entry mixers suspend solids effectively?
Yes, when properly sized and positioned. Effective solids suspension depends on achieving sufficient bottom velocity to exceed particle settling velocity. Impeller design and mounting angle significantly affect performance.
Does Crane Engineering provide repair and service support?
Yes. Crane Engineering provides regional repair, inspection, and reliability services for industrial mixers, pumps, and rotating equipment across Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. Service work includes gearbox, seal, shaft, and impeller repair, supported by a one-year workmanship warranty.
