Product Description

MRC Impeller No. 3 

is a 50 mm (1.97 in.) six-flat-blade disc turbine that produces radial flow and localized shear for gas dispersion, liquid-liquid blending, emulsification, and other low-to-moderate-viscosity mixing applications.

Applications

Gas-Liquid Mixing and Aeration

Supports laboratory aeration, gas absorption, oxygen-transfer studies, fermentation development, carbonation, and gas-liquid reaction work where strong turbulence near the impeller is needed to disperse bubbles.

Liquid-Liquid Dispersion

Useful for blending immiscible liquids, developing emulsions, reducing droplet size, supporting solvent extraction, and increasing contact between liquid phases during laboratory process development.

Chemical and Formulation Development

Provides concentrated radial flow and localized shear for reaction development, additive incorporation, catalyst distribution, coatings, resins, adhesives, inks, and specialty chemical formulations.

Research and Quality Control

Suitable for sample preparation, comparative impeller studies, mixing-time evaluations, process optimization, and laboratory methods requiring repeatable radial-flow agitation.

Features

• Six flat upright blades generate a primarily radial discharge pattern and concentrated turbulence near the impeller.
• The supporting disc separates flow above and below the blade region and helps direct liquid outward toward the vessel wall.
• Compact blade projection and a proportionally large disc create a rigid, balanced turbine geometry.
• High localized shear supports gas dispersion, droplet breakup, emulsification, and rapid local blending.
• The 50 mm (1.97 in.) diameter is sized for laboratory vessels and small-scale process-development work.
• Flat, visually symmetrical blades may permit similar operation in either rotational direction, subject to confirmation that the blades are not pitched.

FAQs

What type of impeller is the MRC Impeller No. 3?

It is a 50 mm (1.97 in.) six-flat-blade disc turbine with a primarily radial flow pattern. Its geometry places it in the broader Rushton-type impeller family.

What is a radial-flow disc turbine used for?

Radial-flow disc turbines are commonly used for gas dispersion, liquid-liquid blending, emulsification, droplet breakup, and other mixing processes requiring strong localized turbulence and shear.
