MIXING APPARATUS WITH FLUSH LINE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033695 titled 'MIXING APPARATUS WITH FLUSH LINE AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a mixer and method for mixing that includes a housing with a fluid inlet, an additive inlet, and an outlet. The housing defines a mixing chamber that is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, additive inlet, and outlet. The mixer also includes an impeller in the mixing chamber that pumps fluid through the fluid inlet when rotated. There is also a slinger in the mixing chamber that receives the fluid from the impeller and an additive from the additive inlet. When rotated, the slinger slings the fluid and additive radially outwards. Additionally, there is a flush line that extends between the mixing chamber and the additive inlet, which receives a portion of the fluid pumped by the impeller from the mixing chamber and delivers it to the additive inlet.

  • The mixer includes a housing with fluid and additive inlets, and an outlet.
  • A mixing chamber is defined within the housing, in fluid communication with the inlets and outlet.
  • An impeller is placed in the mixing chamber to pump fluid through the fluid inlet when rotated.
  • A slinger is also present in the mixing chamber to receive fluid from the impeller and an additive from the additive inlet, slinging them radially outwards when rotated.
  • A flush line is included to receive a portion of the fluid from the mixing chamber and deliver it to the additive inlet.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial mixing processes
  • Chemical manufacturing
  • Food and beverage production
  • Pharmaceutical production

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient mixing of fluids and additives
  • Homogeneous blending of ingredients
  • Reduction of manual labor and time required for mixing processes

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved mixing efficiency and effectiveness
  • Enhanced product quality and consistency
  • Increased productivity and cost savings in manufacturing processes


Original Abstract Submitted

a mixer and method for mixing are provided. the mixer includes a housing including a fluid inlet, an additive inlet, and an outlet. the housing defines a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, the additive inlet, and the outlet. the mixer also includes an impeller disposed in the mixing chamber. when rotated, the impeller pumps fluid through the fluid inlet. the mixer also includes a slinger disposed in the mixing chamber and configured to receive the fluid from the impeller and to receive an additive from the additive inlet. when rotated, the slinger slings the fluid and the additive radially outwards. the mixer further includes a flush line extending between the mixing chamber and the additive inlet. the flush line is receives, from the mixing chamber, a portion of the fluid pumped by the impeller and to deliver the portion of the fluid to the additive inlet.
