Use these lined static mixers with aggressive chemicals

| By Mary Page Bailey and Gerald Ondrey

This company has launched a Kynar-lined static mixer (photo) to enable homogenization and dispersion of liquids and gases without using any moving parts. Due to its enhanced chemical resistance and high-temperature capacity, this mixer is appropriate for challenging chemical applications, including those using concentrated acids or other corrosive media. Constructed of 40 carbon steel, 316 stainless steel, PVC and fiberglass, these static mixers can be lined with Kynar or Teflon and are available in standard diameters ranging from 1 to 24 in. The Teflon mixing elements are 25% glass-filled for additional strength and extended lifespan. — Komax Systems, Inc., Huntington Beach, Calif.
