Static Inline Mixers
Zazula’s Static Inline Mixers – ZMIX – use efficient mixing elements for turbulent flow and minimal pressure loss. Although they are relatively inexpensive tools, proper design and selection of static mixers must not be taken for granted to ensure optimal performance, high operational efficiency and long-term useful life.
When designed and sized properly, static mixers provide excellent continuous mixing of single or multi-phase applications with repeatable results.

A Zazula custom designed and manufactured mixer’s performance will be based on the following factors:
- Flow Rate
- Viscosity
- Density
- Percentage of Mixture Components and Pipe Dimensions
- Built & Tested to ASME B31.3
- Full NACE Compliance
Zazula Inline Static Mixers utilize a series of ellipsoidal shaped internal elements with right hand and left hand configurations to maximize mixing by creating double action cross flow turbulence.
- Each element provides two directional cross flow mixing, therefore, doubling the flow divisions within each element. This means mixing results are predictable and the process is effective at all flow rates.
- The end result of each mixer configuration utilizing a number of elements will therefore produce divisions of flow. (Turbulent or Laminar)
- Mixing is further enhanced due to radial forces imparted to the liquid by the shape of the elements. Right hand elements direct the mass from the centre to the wall of the pipe and left hand redirect the mixture from the wall back to the middle.
- Within each element there is also a back flow creating turbulent vortices as the mixture advances through the module.
- Our special retaining plate design together with a completely welded configuration provides for easy removal and installation minimizing maintenance costs.
When designed and sized properly, static mixers provide excellent continuous mixing of single or multi-phase applications with repeatable results. ZAZULA’S Static InLINE MIXER design can be supplied as complete plug-in modules or as removable elements for installation into the end user’s preferred housing design.
Why endure the hassle of trying to coordinate a source and build of all the components of a proper inline mixer application. Let Zazula design and build your Spool, Mixer, Injector, Quill, flanges and nozzles for your process requirements while you concentrate on your larger process needs.
