Anchors are close-clearance impellers that fit the contour of the vessel. Anchors obtain adequate mixing under the laminar flow conditions encountered in high viscosity applications. There are many applications that other agitators are integrated with the anchor. These impellers sweep the whole wall surface of the vessel and agitate most of the fluid batch through physical contact.
Technical features:
Anchor impellers are used for liquid viscosities between 5,000 and 100,000 cP.
