Introducing the Rotofoil® CX, our forward-thinking solution designed to seamlessly blend miscible liquids and ensure the effortless dissolution of solids without the worry of clumping.
The hydrodynamic design of the Rotofoil CX impeller ensures uniform flow combined with low power consumption, turbulence and shear. A 70% energy savings can be expected when compared to traditional impellers that spread the flow in a disrupted flow pattern.
Lower cost of ownership
The strong axial flow of the Rotofoil CX enables it to be positioned higher in the tank than a conventional impeller. It has a shorter shaft, a smaller shaft diameter and a smaller bearing frame, so it is more cost-effective than other agitators on the market.
High Efficiency Rotofoil CX Blade Design
The unique characteristics of the Rotofoil CX impeller blades results in a highly efficient low energy consumption mixer that provides uniform flow and minimal turbulence.
How it Works
The Rotofoil CX low shear agitator achieves its high efficiency through its optimized blade design:
Graduated width – the blade is slim at the tip where the speed is greatest, and wider at the base where the speed is lowest. This shape results in uniform flow across the impeller diameter.
The twist – the twist in the Rotofoil CX blade decreases evenly from the inner hub out toward the tip. The twist is carefully proportioned to avoid turbulence anywhere on the blade.
The arc – the arc, or radius, has two functions:
To provide a low angle of attack at the leading edge while allowing the trailing edge to direct powerful currents downward
The arc strengthens the blade, making it four times stronger. Because the Rotofoil CX impeller is manufactured with a lighter material, it weigh only about one-third that of a traditional impeller of the same diameter. In addition, the blade is 50% thinner, further contributing to reduced power consumption.
