Direct Drive Mixers Diagram

Direct Drive Mixers are ideal for water treatment industries. This mixer uses a powerful downward propeller driven pumping action without introducing any additional oxygen into the wastewater. The mixer helps to disperse oxygen into an aeration basin, pond or lagoon. It also keeps solids in suspension for optimal biological activity.


Applications

For those aeration applications where the mixing energy requirement is greater than the aeration requirement, the direct drive mixer will provide mixing more efficiently than a combined aeration/mixing device. This may result in considerable energy savings while providing greater flexibility of operation.
