Submersible Mixers Description
Submersible mixers are fully submersible electromechanical devices designed for mixing, agitating, and homogenizing liquids, slurries, and suspensions in tanks, basins, and ponds. They consist of a waterproof motor directly coupled to an optimized impeller, enclosed in a corrosion-resistant housing. These mixers operate while completely submerged, eliminating the need for long shafts, external bearings, or complex sealing arrangements common to top-entry mixers. Available in various materials (stainless steel, cast iron, bronze) and power ratings (0.5 kW to over 50 kW), they are engineered for continuous duty in harsh environments, featuring double mechanical seals and high-efficiency motors for reliable, maintenance-free operation.
Submersible Mixers principle
Component
- Motor
- Upper bearing
- Seal monitoring&indication
- Solids deflection ring
- Mechanical seal
- Axial flow propeller
- Bracket
- Control System
- Corrosion resistant shell
The operating principle centers on converting electrical energy into controlled hydrodynamic flow. The motor drives an impeller (typically a three-blade propeller or specialized mixing disc) that rotates at optimized speeds. This rotation creates a powerful axial or radial flow pattern, generating a directional current within the vessel. This current ensures complete circulation, preventing sedimentation, maintaining solids in suspension, equalizing temperature and concentration gradients, and enhancing chemical or biological reactions by ensuring uniform contact between components.

Energy-saving Submersible Mixers Selection
Modern energy-saving submersible mixers achieve efficiency through multiple integrated features: IE3/IE4 premium efficiency motors reduce electrical losses; computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-optimized impellers maximize fluid movement per watt consumed; low rotational speeds with high torque minimize turbulence and friction losses; and permanent magnet motor technology can offer further efficiency gains. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) allow speed adjustment to match exact process demands, preventing energy waste during low-load conditions.
Key selection factors include: Tank Geometry (dimensions, shape, volume); Media Properties (viscosity, density, solids content, corrosiveness, abrasiveness); Process Objective (homogenizing, suspending, reacting, heat transferring); Required Flow Velocity (typically 0.1-0.3 m/s to prevent settling); Installation Depth & Mounting Method; and Environmental Conditions (explosive atmospheres require ATEX certification). Accurate selection requires calculating the necessary pumping capacity and power to achieve the desired turnover rate and flow pattern within the specific medium.

Submersible Mixers Installation Method
Primary installation methods are: Guide Rail System: The most common, allowing easy vertical installation, removal, and maintenance without draining the tank. Fixed Cradle/Side Mounting: The mixer is permanently fixed to the tank wall or floor at a specific angle, ideal for permanent applications. Telescopic Tube System: Enables depth adjustment after installation. Portable/Cable-Hung: For temporary applications or ponds, suspended by a cable from a support structure.

Submersible Mixers Factor
Successful operation depends on: Correct Submergence Depth to prevent vortex formation and ensure optimal flow; Proper Impeller Clearance from walls and bottom to avoid dead zones; Adequate Support Structure to handle dynamic loads; Compatible Material Selection for wetted parts; and Robust Sealing System integrity to prevent motor flooding.
