ELEPHANT EAR TURBINE

The elephant ear turbine is used for applications where extensive hydraulic bearing capacity is needed without anticipating a high mixing effect.

It can also be found in special applications such as cell culture type processes.

DESIGN OF THE ELEPHANT EAR TURBINE

Definition basis: Turbine with blades tilted at a 45° angle
Number of blades: 3
Rotation direction: Clockwise or anticlockwise

FLOW OF  ELEPHANT EAR TURBINE STIRRING DEVICES - USE

Radial and axial flow.
The stirrer equipped with an elephant ear turbine can be mounted centred with counter-blades or offset without counter-blades.
Extensive hydraulic bearing capacity at low speed.

Applications:
Light mixing of fragile products.
