Product Description

MRC Impeller No. 5

is a 50 mm (1.97 in.) four-blade curved open turbine for overhead-stirrer mixing. Its swept blades are designed to produce primarily radial flow and moderate localized turbulence for liquid blending, powder incorporation, particle dispersion, and other low-to-moderate-viscosity applications.

Applications

Liquid Blending

Suitable for combining low-and-moderate-viscosity liquids in laboratory formulation, sample preparation, reaction-development, and quality-control workflows.

Powder and Particle Dispersion

The open curved-blade design can assist with powder wetting, additive incorporation, fine-particle distribution, catalyst dispersion, and weak-agglomerate breakup.

Liquid-Liquid Mixing

Useful for laboratory blending of miscible liquids and for moderate dispersion of immiscible phases during emulsion development, extraction studies, and formulation testing.

Chemical and Formulation Development

A practical option for coatings, inks, adhesives, resins, specialty chemicals, and other formulations that benefit from radial circulation and localized turbulence.

Features

• Four curved blades provide a smoother interaction with the liquid than comparable straight radial blades.
• Open construction allows fluid movement between the upper and lower sides of the blade assembly.
• Swept blade geometry produces primarily radial circulation and moderate localized turbulence.
• Curved blades may reduce abrupt fluid loading while supporting blending and dispersion.
• The 50 mm (1.97 in.) diameter is suitable for laboratory vessels and small-scale process-development work.

FAQs

What type of impeller is the MRC Impeller No. 5?

It is a 50 mm (1.97 in.) four-blade curved open turbine. It is designed to produce primarily radial flow and moderate localized turbulence.

What is the benefit of curved blades?

Curved blades guide the liquid more gradually than straight radial blades. This can create smoother blade loading while still providing useful circulation, blending, and dispersion.
