Side mixers with fi xed-angle and
swivel confi gurations
The Cutlass side-entry mixers now
include the BSE-R fixed-angle and
BSE-R swivel models. The mixers'
design features an easy-to-remove,
cartridge-style mechanical seal that allows
more room to access and maintain
bearings and seals. The shaft is precision-machined
to reduce vibration and
to increase bearing life. Vibration and
temperature sensors can be mounted
on pads cast into the housing to monitor
the unit while in operation. The
drive is protected by a rigid belt cover
with quick-release captive fasteners
and a polycarbonate viewing window
for checking the belt. When coupled
with a Lancer Advanced Pitch Propeller,
the Cutlass can yield energy savings
of 30% or more for elimination of basic
sediment and water in crude-oil tanks,
says the company. - Philadelphia Mixing

A micro static mixer improves
bromination reactions
This company has released an application
note that describes a continuous
flow methodology for electrophilic bromination
that offers " excellent " control
of both temperature and mixing using
a proprietary mixer chip. Using the
static mixer chip on a FlowSyn flowchemistry
system controls both mixing
and temperature, which makes bromination
become a titration and the reaction
can be performed under elevated
temperatures. The chip-based bromination
can be scaled to 28 g/h, says the
company. The FlowSyn is a compact,
integrated continuous flow-reactor system
designed for easy, safe and efficient
operation. The FlowSyn range includes
models for performing single or multiple
homogeneous or heterogeneous
reactions, either manually or automatically.
