Anchor And Gate Type Impeller

Anchors/Gate type impellers are close-clearance impellers that fit the contour of the vessel. These impeller provide adequate mixing under the laminar flow conditions encountered in high viscosity applications for heat transfer. There are many applications that other type of impellers are integrated with the anchor. These impellers sweep the whole wall surface of the vessel and agitate most of the fluid batch through physical contact. Anchor impellers are used for liquid viscosities between 5,000 and 50,000 cP. When reaction/mixing homogeneity is required, other type of impellers are recommended.
