The first model consists of elements made of two inclined semi-elliptical plates opposite to each other. The mixing operation is based on the splitting and diverting of input streams. In turbulent flow applications, the elements enhance the random dispersion of sub-streams so that a unit with six elements is sufficient for most applications.

The second design is our ISG (interfacial surface generator) which consists of individual mixing elements that are stacked in a tubular housing. The ends of the elements are shaped so that the adjacent elements form a tetrahedral chamber. Four holes bored through each element provide the flow paths. The holes are at oblique angles so that material near the periphery (i.e. near the pipe wall) on the inlet side of the element emerges near the center on the outlet side. The material exiting one element then enters near the center into the second element and exits near the wall. This radial mixing eliminates the wall smearing effect that can be otherwise encountered when mixing viscous materials.

The ISG and LPD models are both available in a wide range of sizes and materials of construction to suit the manufacturing process for which they will be used. Optional features such as jackets are available to assist in heat transfer, and sanitary designs are offered for food and pharmaceutical operations.
