High-efficiency top-loaders No brand stands out as being the most or least reliable HE top-loader, the kind without an agitator. Estimated breakage rates range from 19 to 24 percent, and the median repair cost is $140.
· 3.1 "Comb" design. The simpler lump breakers are using a system of static pins that are intermeshing with the teeth or blades of the agitator in order to break the lumps. The gap in between the "comb" of static pins (also called a breaker grid or breaker bars) and those of the agitator is determining up to which size the lumps will be crushed.
· There are many factors that affect the level of dispersion. Of these, agitator is verified to be reverent for its non-negligible impacts on flow condition as well as liquid–liquid behaviour. Many different types of agitators, such as blade agitator, turbine agitator etc., have been studied and documented. But the dispersion of dispersed phase ...

· The experimental apparatus was designed to represent a stirred tank using a high shear mixer. The final setup constituted of a rotor-stator mixer model IKA Ultra-Turrax® T25 Basic RSM equipped with a S25N – 18G dispersing element, as shown in Fig. 1, positioned in a 1L beaker (with diameter T = 100 mm and impeller diameter D = 0,0128 m).
Breakage of capsules occurred due to application of shear by the agitator blades onto the rotating large size oil droplets and collision of such droplets with rigid surfaces . Therefore, optimum stirring speed and duration of stirring were set at 700 rpm and 10 min respectively after prepolymer addition (for Pickering emulsion) or citric acid ...

Gaseous reactants such as Cl2, O2 or SO2 are efficiently dispersed to achieve maximum mass transfer for high space-time yields. The homogeneous distribution of solids (e.g. Polymers) and the dissipation of the heat of reaction are also an important challenge when designing the vessel and agitator. This is optimally solved by the EKATO photoreactor.

· 13 Common Causes of Seal Leakage and Failure. August 4, 2019 | 1 minute read. Years ago, most pump shafts were sealed using rings of soft packing, compressed by a packing gland, but this type of shaft seal required a fair amount of leakage just to lubricate the packing and keep it cool. Then came the development of the mechanical seal, which ...
For zone near the agitator, the shearing effect is strong under high turbulent and small liquid drops will be achieved. In the zone far away from the agitator, the drops will agglomerate into larger ones. The breakage and agglomeration processes increase and renew the interface of the liquids, so strengthen the inter-phase mass transfer.
· 5. Maximum energy of collisions at zone of maximum turbulence near impeller blades –as the value increases expect an increase in breakage and secondary nucleation. 6. Energy of collisions in bulk –although less than the maximum value, the large number of collisions in the bulk can affect breakage and secondary nucleation. 7.
