Industrial mixers and agitators are machines used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries to process products. These machines boost heat transfer (cooling or heating), keep homogenous liquid bulk during storage, promote chemical reactions of substances, and mix liquids together. They are also used to mix or stir fluids.

Types of Industrial AgitatorsIn the pharmaceutical sector, four main kinds of agitators are utilized which are: gas induction, propeller, turbine, and anchor. Other types are rotating tank, static, mechanical, and paddle type agitators.Depending on the phase that requires to be mixed, the type of agitator is selected. These include liquids with gas and solids, liquid and gas, liquid and solid, and liquids only. Further, depending on the bulk viscosity and phase-type, the agitator is termed dough mixer, kneader, mixer, etc.

What are Industrial Mixers and Blenders?Industrial mixers and blenders are used to mix or blend materials to produce a homogenous product. These machines are used in the global mineral, plastic, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. Depending on the utilization, these mixers function at different operating pressures and process temperatures. Industrial mixers and blenders can be leveraged for a range of processes including homogenization, particle size reduction, emulsification, paste mixing for products of high viscosity, and dry blending.

Uses of Industrial Food MixersThese mixers are leveraged for a range of items, including:• Spices and tea blends and mixtures• Instant beverages like cappuccino and coffee• Iodization of salt• Nutritional supplements in powder or tablet form• Effervescent vitamin tablets• Ice cream powder• Baking agents and mixtures• Baby food made with dry milk derivatives, stabilizers, vitamins, micronutrients, etc.

What is Wastewater Treatment?The wastewater treatment process converts wastewater into bilge water which can be sent back safely into the environment. Wastewater is generated by activities like toilet use, washing, bathing, and runoff rainwater. It contains contaminants such as toxins, chemicals, and bacteria. Wastewater treatment reduces the level of contamination to enable safe discharge of the water back into the surroundings.

Treatment of wastewater provides many benefits. For instance, it keeps the environment clean by reducing water pollution. Further, the cleaned water can be utilized in cooling machines in industries and factories, as well as for irrigation. Also, wastewater treatment helps to prevent the spread of waterborne ailments and thus ensures good health in society.

To summarize, wastewater treatment is a vital environmental conservation process that needs to be followed worldwide. Mostly, this treatment is done for water discharged from business places and homes. Manufacturing and industrial plants, and refineries treat their wastewater at onsite facilities. This is important because it is harmful to dispose of untreated wastewater into the environment, oceans, lakes, and rivers.
