Custom Stainless Steel Static Mixers

Koflo Blade™ Mixing Elements

The patented Koflo Blade™ style element provides Koflo's best-in-class efficient mixing ability for turbulent flow applications combined with minimal pressure (head) loss. Koflo's Blade™ elements are available in multiple configurations for demanding applications

• Standard Design - Recommended for most applications. Koflo's standard configuration provides the best combination of mixing ability, pressure loss, and overall length.
• Low Pressure Loss Design - For limited head pressure applications where lower pressure loss is a critical requirement. Lower pressure loss than standard design elements.
• Ultra Low Pressure Loss Design - For critically limited head applications where lower pressure loss is paramount to the system design.
• High-Mix Design - For space-constrained applications that demand Koflo's best-in-class mixing in a shorter overall length

Please note that Koflo does not sell elements without housings. Elements are shown for informational purposes only.

Helical mixing elements

Koflo's helical-style static mixer elements are designed to provide optimal mixing for laminar / plug flow applications. Benefits of helical-style mixing elements include:

• Optimal mixing for laminar or high-viscosity flows
• Low pressure loss design
• Ensure homogeneous mixing across large flow ranges

Please note that Koflo does not sell elements without housings. Elements are shown for informational purposes only.

Non-clog (Sludge) mixing elements

Koflo's patented non-clog (sludge) mixing elements are based on Koflo's standard Blade™ mixing elements and are designed to eliminate clogging or plugging.

Historically, a number of industries with fibrous slurry applications avoided the use of static mixers due to their tendency to plug or foul. In response to this problem, Koflo was the first static mixer manufacturer to fully develop and patent a revolutionary static mixer that is free of pinch points or intersecting elements. Non-clog (sludge) mixer elements are able to handle the most fibrous slurries without plugging. Each mixer contains a series of alternating right and left hand elements thatblend the product stream with counter rotating vortices.

Non-clog elements are available in fixed or removable (shown above) configurations.

Flanged Ends

Flanged end connections provide easy assembly and disassembly in piping systems. For stainless / alloy static mixers with flanged end configurations, Koflo offers Class 150 raised face flanged ends as standard. 

All standard flange dimensions conform to ASME B16.5 standards. 

Other flange standards, classes, or configurations (ie. DIN) available by request.

ASME B16.5 Class 150 Flange Dimensions. All sizes in inches.

Threaded Ends

For threaded pipeline systems, Koflo offers threaded stainless steel / alloy mixers with male NPT threaded end connections as standard.

Options

• Standard: ANSI B1.20.1 (NPT)
• Optional: British Standard Pipe (BSP)

Plain Ends

Koflo offers static mixers with end connections prepared for on-site configuration by the customer.

Configurations

Weld Neck Flanged Ends

Weld neck flanged ends are characterized by a long, tapered hub that transitions from flange thickness to pipe wall thickness and are recommended for harsh service conditions. The tapered design of weld neck flanges allows for greater endurance under conditions where the line is subjected to forces such as bending or expansion.

See "Flanged Ends" option for a chart of Class 150 Flange Dimensions

Tri-Clamp® Ends

Tri-Clamp ends are a non-permanent piping connection method commonly used in sanitary applications such as food processing and are joined using C-shaped clamps . Tri-Clamp ends feature grooved indentations on the flange face which mate with a sealing gasket.

Note: Koflo does not provide clamps or gaskets with mixers configured with Tri-Clamp ends.

Chemical Injection Ports

Chemical injection ports allow the additive stream to be injected directly into the static mixer. If more than one chemical injection port is necessary, multiple ports can be configured in a linear or radial fashion. Injection ports are available in multiple configurations to suit your application.

Alternate Configurations

• 

  Female NPT Injection Port — Standard

  Koflo standard configuration

• 

  Flanged Injection Port

  Flanged injection ports are available in multiple sizes.

Flow Straightening Vane

Flow straightening vanes can be added to the downstream end of any stainless steel / alloy mixer to significantly reduce the flow rotation caused during the mixing process. Flow straightening vanes have a negligible impact on pressure loss. 

Heating / Cooling Jackets

Heating / Cooling jackets can be added to most configurations for heating, cooling, or maintaining thermal homogeneity within the process stream. Inlet and outlet ports are positioned for heating / cooling fluid to flow easily through the jacket system and can be configured to suit your equipment. 

Removable Elements

In some applications, it may be necessary to gain access to the interior mixer elements for cleaning or removal of pipeline obstructions. For these situations, Koflo offers removable mixing elements. Unlike standard stainless / alloy elements which are welded to the housing, Koflo's removable Blade™ style elements are fully removable and are secured to the mixer by means of an element retention disc on the discharge end of the mixer (shown above).
