Static Mixer Type SMX™ and SMX™ plus

Sulzer Static Mixer SMX plus for viscous and high-viscous mixing and dispersing Click to zoom

The SMX plus static mixer is the reference for homogenization and dispersing tasks in laminar flow. Even challenging mixing applications such as dosing a small amount of low- viscous additive into a high-viscous main stream can be performed very efficiently.

Information

Key characteristics

The SMX plus static mixer is the new revolutionary generation of static mixers featuring half the pressure drop of the SMX mixer. As a result, significant cost savings can be achieved through reduced mixer and pipe diameters, or by using smaller pumps. The SMX plus mixer will therefore most probably replace the SMX mixer in the near future.

Customer benefits of the SMX type

  • Excellent mixing and dispersing even with widely differing fluid viscosities
  • Compact designs
  • Reduced product degradation due to very short residence time
  • Mixing of sensitive products under minimal shear stress
  • No deposits and blockages due to excellent cross-mixing

The SMX plus mixer additionally offers:

  • 50% lower pressure drop compared to a standard SMX mixer
  • Cost savings through smaller mixer, piping and pumps

Application

Shear sensitive fluids such as polymers are mixed under very gentle process conditions. Dispersing of gases and liquids in high-viscous fluids is possible down to the smallest droplets with very narrow size distribution.
