Side Entry Mixer Or Top Entry Mixer – How To Choose?

KEHENG's hot-sale mixers include Side entry mixers and Top entry mixers. They play an important role in industries as diverse as petrochemical, asphalt mixing station, flue gas desulfurization, paint&coating, pulp&paper, wastewater treatment, chemical mixing, food&beverage...

Side Entry Mixer: mounted on the side of the container, have the following advantages:

1. Suitable for large containers: the side-entry mixers can be entered from the side of the container, no need to open a large mounting hole on the top of the container.

2. Good mixing effect: the side-entry mixers usually have a high mixing speed, which can effectively break the vortex and dead angle in the liquid, making the liquid mix more evenly.

Easy maintenance: The side-entry mixer is relatively simple to install and disassemble, making it easy to maintain and replace.

Top Entry Mixer: mounted on the top of the container, has the following advantages:

1. Suitable for high-viscosity liquids: the top-entry mixer can adapt to different viscosities by adjusting the design of the mixing shaft and blade.

2. The mixing shaft is not easy to wear: The mixing shaft of the top-entry mixer does not need to pass through the container wall, so the risk of wear and leakage is low.

3. Small footprint: The installation space of the top mixer is relatively small, which is suitable for the production site with limited space.

How to choose？

When choosing a side-en mixer or a top-in mixer, we take into account the following factors:

1. Liquid characteristics: consider the viscosity, density, corrosion and other factors of the liquid. High-viscosity liquids may be more suitable for top-in agitators, while low-viscosity liquids may be more suitable for side-in agitators.

2. Container size: Large containers may be better suited for side-entry agitators because they do not require large mounting holes in the top of the container.

3. Space constraints: If the production site space is limited, top-in agitators may be a better choice because they have a relatively small footprint.

4. Maintenance requirements: Consider the convenience of maintenance and replacement of equipment. If your production process requires frequent maintenance and replacement of mixers, then side-entry mixers may be more suitable for you.
