INTERMIG

Efficient Impeller for Blending Medium-Viscous Media

From EKATO developed impeller with special blade: One inner blade and the two-stage outer blade in the same radial plane but with opposing blade angles. This impeller is mainly used for homogenization in medium viscous areas. Large mass transfer coefficients during surface gassing can be achieved due to this mixing setup.

The EKATO development INTERMIG is a predominantly axial-pumping impeller that comprises several stages arranged on top of one another and each staggered by 90° angles. A typical layout has two stages and two flow-directing elements. The decisive difference between the EKATO INTERMIG and other mixing systems is the arrangement of the two blades: the inner blade and the two-stage outer blade in the same radial plane but with opposing blade angles. This generates a primary axial pumping flow in opposing directions in the inner and outer sections. Owing to this effect, the INTERMIG is very suitable for blending in the medium-viscosity range. It also provides large mass transfer coefficients during surface gassing.

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.
