AX2-DF

The AX2-DF (Double Flux / Dual Flow) is a mixing impeller specially developed for applications requiring a high circulation capacity in viscous or complex products. Its design combines a main axial impeller with secondary rear blades generating a controlled reverse flow. This architecture makes it possible to create a double circulation loop of the fluid, improving material renewal throughout the tank. This technology limits dead zones, improves heat transfer and optimizes the homogenization of high-viscosity products or those with complex rheological behavior. Thanks to its high pumping capacity at low speed, the AX2-DF makes it possible to obtain efficient mixing while limiting shear and energy consumption.

AX2-DF impeller design

Definition basis: Thin-blade profiled double impeller

Number of blades: 3

Direction of rotation: Clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the desired flow)
 

Flow of AX2-DF agitation impellers – Use

Down-pumping flow (axial flow down):

Vertical from top to bottom at the center of the impeller combined with a vertical flow from bottom to top at the periphery (axial predominance).

The agitator equipped with a down-pumping AX2-DF can only be mounted centered in a tank without baffles (only for viscous product mixtures).

Moderate shearing effect at maximum speed (medium peripheral speed).

Applications:

Mixing, heat transfer, simple dissolution, homogeneous maintenance and in suspension.

 

Up-pumping flow (axial flow up):

Vertical from bottom to top at the impeller center combined with a vertical flow from top to bottom at the periphery (axial predominance).

Bubbling on the liquid surface.

The agitator equipped with an up-pumping AX2-DF can only be mounted centered in a tank without baffles (only for viscous product mixtures).

Moderate shearing effect at maximum speed (medium peripheral speed).

Applications:

Mixing, heat transfer, simple dissolution, homogeneous maintenance and in suspension.
