Chemineer - Model XE-3 -High Efficiency Impeller Pump
The highest efficiency turbulent flow impeller available in the marketplace. Ideal for blending, heat transfer, and solids suspension applications. Developed to maximize strength at lower weights as compared to other axial flow impellers, allowing for longer shafts without internal support, smaller shaft diameters, and smaller seal sizes if applicable.
Chemineer provides the latest impeller technology advancement, the XE-3 High Efficiency Impeller that offers significant performance advantages and overall cost savings.
The XE-3 impeller is designed to provide high flow and low shear with an optimized shape to maximize mechanical strength. Designed using high tech Laser Doppler Anemometry, Digital Particle Image Velocimetry, and Computational Fluid Mixing, the XE-3 impeller is always the right choice for flow controlled processes.
Process Efficiency
- High flow for improved Blending and Solids Suspension applications
- Possible reduction in the horsepower and size of the gear drive required to achieve the desired mixing result
Mechanical Design
- Decreases impeller weight by nearly 40% over other high efficiency impellers
- Longer in-tank shafts can be used without the need for steady bearings
Typical Flow Controlled Applications
- Storage Tanks
- Water and Waste Treatment
- Miscible Fluid Blending
- Chemical and Polymers
- Mining Applications
- Heat Transfer applications with internal coils or jacketed vessels
- Solid Suspension applications •Mud Mixers
- Corn Processing and Ethanol
Upgrade Opportunity
- The impeller weight is similar or less than older, less efficient impeller designs
- The superior performance of the XE-3 High Efficiency Impeller can almost double a pitched blade impeller pumping rate at an equivalent torque level
