Westfall - Model 3050 -Ultra Low Headloss Pipe Mixer

Four tapered and curved vanes with precisely designed geometry are welded around the pipe interior and invert flow to rapidly mix liquids or gases. The addition of a second stage of vanes aligned downstream of the first row creates additional vortices that overlap in a braiding effect.

According to CFD analyses conducted by Alden Laboratories, the vane stages provide a CoV range from .057 with one stage to a CoV of .014 when all three are installed. Headloss is 0.58 for one stage, 1.13 for a 2-stage version and 1.64 for the 3-stage mixer.

Small versions of this mixer (3/8″ to 5″ or 0.95cm-12.7cm), which are too small for custom fabrication, are now made via 3D printing and glued inside a pipe.
