A310/A510
Low blade solidity hydrofoil, recommended for low viscosity blending and solid suspension applications:

• Varying tip chord angle allows for further optimization of mixer selection
• Maximizes fl ow generation while minimizing fl uid shear
• The A310 is standard for all Lightnin gear drive portable mixers
• Generates the same fl ow as a pitched bladed turbine (A200) for 60% of the power and 50% of the torque

A315
High solidity hydrofoil design recommended for gas–liquid dispersion and mass transfer applications:

• High blade solidity improves gas handling by up to 3 times that of a conventional hydrofoil impeller such as the A510
• Generates strong axial fl ow which reduces staging that occurs with radial fl ow impellers in tall reactors
• Can improve mass transfer by 30% compared with a Rushton impeller (R100)
• Operates at lower torque than a conventional radial fl ow impeller, thus reducing capital costs

A320
High solidity hydrofoil design recommended for high viscosity blending applications:

• High effi ciency wide bladed impeller design with high fl ow/power ratio
• Improved axial fl ow at low Reynolds numbers (Nre < 500) reduces power requirements up to 50% over a pitch bladed turbine (A200) for equal blending performance
• Has also been successfully used for gas handling applications

R130
Recommended for high shear mixing and gas dispersion applications:

• Half pipe shaped blades improves gas handling over R100 impeller while reducing torque requirements by up to 40%
• Radial design provides shear to achieve good contacting for liquid-liquid and gas-liquid dispersions and emulsions

R135
Parabolic radial fl ow impeller recommended for high shear mixing and gas dispersion applications:

• Optimized parabolic blade shape improves gas handling ability by 20% and reduces torque requirements by 40% over an R130
• Radial design provides shear to achieve good contacting for liquid-liquid and gas-liquid dispersions and emulsions

CLEAN EDGE IMPELLER
Designed for municipal waster water applications:

The Lightnin Clean Edge Impeller fills the need for use in services where a ragless impeller is either specified or required. Specifically designed for this demanding service, the Clean Edge remains free of fibrous debris while delivering blending performance equal to a hydrofoil impeller. Wastewater applications have stringy, solids called “rags” by industry personnel. This fibrous material causes equipment to foul, maintenance costs to increase due to added downtime through plant shutdowns, and mechanical damage. The fouling potential of these rags causes mixing impellers to lose their efficiency, vibrate and overload.

The Clean Edge impeller does not foul. It prevents rag accumulation and keeps the mixer operating smoothly at design power and without harmful vibration or tripping out due to overload.

• Patented impeller achieves steady and stable operation in harsh operating conditions.
• Clean Edge exhibits the same blending efficiency as a hydrofoil impeller and can often be a drop-in replacement for your existing mixers.
• Installation of a Clean Edge impeller will increase plant up time, reduce maintenance, and eliminate failures related to rag buildup.
• The power and fl ow characteristics of the Clean Edge impeller make it the ideal retrofit for any under performing system.

A333 CLEAN EDGE IMPELLAR
Specifically designed as a non-stringing axial flow impeller:

• Patented unique blade design resists ragging, making it suitable for low viscosity applications where ragging material is present
• Produces strong axial flow in low viscosity fluids with similar flow/power performance as an A510 hydrofoil
• Clean Edge exhibits the same blending efficiency as a hydrofoil impeller and can often be a drop-in replacement for your existing mixers.
• Installation of a Clean Edge impeller will increase plant uptime, reduce maintenance, and eliminate failures related to rag buildup.

A620
Recommended for non-Newtonian transitional fl ow blending, where Reynolds numbers are between 50 and 500:

• Optimal two bladed design creates down flow in the center and up fl ow at the wall, creating a complete turnover of tank’s contents
• Provides similar blend time for less power than traditional open impellers (A320, A200) and less torque (lower cost) than traditional close clearance impellers (A400, R400)
• Operates at high impeller diameter/tank diameter ratios, which improves heat transfer at the wall
• Bolted construction available for tanks with small diameter manways

KT-3 Impellar
Designed for chemical, industrial and sanitary applications:

The KT-3 impeller is a three bladed impeller specifically designed for use as a close clearance lower impeller in a dish or shallow cone bottomed tank with a bottom outlet. The KT-3 impeller minimizes solids settling and prevents cavitation of the pump suction by swirling the tank contents and sweeping solids towards the outlet. The “wave” pattern shortens drainage times. The KT-3 does not “suspend” solids, however, this wave action constantly sweeps the bottom of the dish allowing for solids to move downward towards the outlet.

• Low power consumption
• Easily retrofitable
• Removes most (~100%) of solids in dished vessel
