Static Mixers
Inline PVC and stainless steel static mixers manufactured in Australia
Static mixers, also known as motionless mixers, are a type of mixer which operates through fluid turbulence, rather than using a motor or other power source. They are made up of a series of mixing elements fixed to the mixer pipe, tube or shell. These elements are typically a series of baffles, made from either stainless steel, other metals or plastic.
Static mixers are installed directly within your pipe system, and as the fluid is injected through the injection port, it churns through the baffles. This flow causes the mixer elements to rotate, resulting in efficient mixing even when external power is not available. Because a static mixer has no independently moving parts, it is maintenance free, and can be installed inline in almost any pipeline.
FluidPro offers a variety of static mixer types, including PVC, stainless steel, titanium, polypropylene, Teflon, Kynar and polyacetal, to suit different mixing requirements. Choosing a plastic static mixer or a metal one will depend on the fluids being mixed, and whether you are working with UPVC pipes, metal ones or a variety of other materials.
Inline static mixers can be customised to suit high or low viscosity fluids or corrosive chemicals, and can be customised to meet your Coefficient of Variation (CoV) targets.
Our static mixer range is manufactured in Australia by FluidPro, industry leaders in inline pipe mixers. Designs are optimised for your inline blending process using our FluidPro Mixer Design Software, to produce accurate solutions for your static mixing application.

FluidPro Dynamic Inline Mixers
If you require a higher intensity mixing solution for your inline application, FluidPro's Inline Dynamic mixers are a cost effective in situ mixing option.
FluidPro Inline Dynamic Mixers are a suitable solution to increase the mixing intensity compared to frequently used static mixers or slowly running stirrers in large volume tanks. The comparably high mixer speed achieves a turbulent and thus ideal admixture of the flocculant. The FluidPro Dynamic Mixer ensures that any chemicals added to the processing pipeline are entirely and evenly dispersed throughout the flow stream.
