Impellers

In recent years, the requirements for mixing systems in industrial applications have increased steadily. The design of the impellers, the selection of a suitable mixing system, as well as the arrangement of the individual components on the agitator have a decisive influence on the process engineering and mechanical properties.

VISCOPROP

The all-rounder with high mixing performance. Versatile due to the different blade angles and number of blades.

What does “Number of sealing faces” mean?

Single-acting mechanical seals
These seals have one sealing surface and only seal in one direction. They are generally simpler in design and are commonly used in applications where pressure is applied from only one side.

Double-acting mechanical seals
These seals have two sealing surfaces and can seal in both directions. They are ideal for applications where pressure may come from both sides or where a higher sealing performance is required.

Triple-acting mechanical seals
These are less common and used in specialized applications that require a more complex sealing setup. They offer additional sealing surfaces or mechanisms to ensure reliable sealing even in highly demanding environments.
