Product Description

MRC Impeller No. 6

is a four-blade axial-flow propeller that produces strong top-to-bottom circulation for liquid blending, solids suspension, powder incorporation, heat transfer, and other low-to-moderate-viscosity mixing applications. It is available in 30, 70, and 100 mm (1.18, 2.76, and 3.94 in.) diameters for different vessel sizes and pumping requirements.

Applications

General Liquid Blending

Provides axial circulation for dilution, reagent preparation, pH adjustment, liquid-additive incorporation, and routine laboratory batch mixing.

Solids Suspension and Powder Incorporation

The strong top-to-bottom flow pattern can help distribute fine particles, lift settling solids, incorporate readily wetted powders, and maintain uniform suspensions.

Heat Transfer and Temperature Equalization

Bulk circulation repeatedly moves liquid past vessel walls, heating or cooling surfaces, immersion coils, and temperature probes to support more uniform batch temperatures.

Laboratory Formulation and Process Development

Suitable for buffers, reagents, solutions, suspensions, chemical formulations, and other processes that benefit from efficient vessel turnover without concentrated high-shear dispersion.

Features

• Four pitched blades generate axial flow parallel to the stirring shaft.
• Produces strong top-to-bottom circulation for efficient bulk vessel turnover.
• Supports liquid blending, solids suspension, powder incorporation, and heat transfer.
• Open propeller design provides substantial pumping with low to moderate localized shear.

Specifications

FAQs

What type of impeller is the MRC Impeller No. 6?

It is a four-blade axial-flow propeller stirrer designed to move liquid parallel to the shaft and create strong top-to-bottom vessel circulation.

How should I choose an impeller diameter?

Choose the diameter according to the vessel size, batch volume, desired circulation rate, fluid properties, and available stirrer torque. Larger impellers generally move more liquid but place greater hydraulic and mechanical load on the stirrer and shaft.

What is axial flow?

Axial flow moves liquid primarily parallel to the stirring shaft. This produces broad top-to-bottom circulation and efficient bulk mixing throughout the vessel.
