JetMix Mixing System

Jet Mixing System
How can the revolutionary JetMix™ System improve your mixing requirements? Engineering so advanced... Minimal Tank obstructions Easy Cleaning, loading and unloading Ideal for varying liquid levels Simplified Maintenance Easy Retrofitting As Needed Operation
Why it was developed The JetMix™ Concept was developed in response to problems documented in efficiency mixing circular or rectangular tanks. The system uses simple components to create a complex flow pattern that sweeps all areas of the tank. These simple components reduce mechanical complexity and maintenance while increasing mixing efficiency.
How it works A set of nozzles is placed on the floor of the tank, connected to a pump (which is usually mounted externally). The nozzles are arranged to create velocity that causes the contents to both revolve and rotate in a toroidal (rolling doughnut) configuration. Secondly, flow around the surface of the toroid is drawn down the tank center, along the floor, up the walls and back to the center creating a rolling helix pattern, which sweeps the center and prevents the solids from settling. The toroidal pattern is also effective in moving floating solids to the tank center where they are pulled to the bottom and become homogeneous with the contents.
Advantages of JetMix™ Minimal tank obstructions: The external location of the pump and pipes keeps only the nozzles inside the tank and simplifies maintenance dramatically. Easy cleaning, loading and unloading: The external nozzle adjuster can be used to easily clean specific areas of the tank as needed with nothing but a manual adjustment and a water supply required. Ideal for varying liquid levels: JetMix™ flow patterns are not affected by the liquid level of the tank, making the system ideal for flow equalization, storage tanks, or any process tank which requires homogeneous solids concentrations yet may operate at various liquid levels. Simplified maintenance: In-tank equipment requires no scheduled maintenance, so the system runs maintenance-free almost all of the time. Easy retrofitting: The JetMix™ system can also be installed and retrofit to both above ground and in ground installations. As needed operation: The systems ability to operate on an as-needed basis is a unique feature which can equate to savings of many thousands of dollars in energy costs alone.

The JetMix system uses simple components to create a complex flow pattern which effectively sweeps all areas of a circular tank. This reduces mechanical complexity and maintenance, while increasing mixing efficiency. The basics of the JetMix system are a set of nozzles placed on the floor of the tank, connected to a pump (which is usually mounted externally). The nozzles are arranged to create velocity which causes the contents to both revolve and rotate in a toroidal (rolling doughnut) configuration. The pattern rotates around the axis of the tank. Secondly, flow around the surface of the toroid is drawn down the tank center, along the floor, up the walls and back to the center - creating a rolling helix pattern which sweeps the center and prevents solids from settling. The toroidal pattern is also effective in moving floating solids to the tank center, where they are pulled to the bottom and become homogeneous with the tank contents. The net result is a continuous helical flow pattern which eliminates tank dead spots. Rolling helix action sweeps solids away from center of tank. Outside pump location provides easy access for mixing of multiple tanks with a single pump. Pump may also be used to fill or empty the tank. High peripheral velocity helps resuspend solids quickly and keeps crust from forming. Stationary nozzles are adjustable 360o in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction to optimize mixing pattern.
