Vortex Mixmate
A safe, proven mixing and dispensing solution for caustic mud additives
Introduction
Small batch mixing of corrosive chemical solutions is a
necessary process for many industrial applications. The
hazardous nature of these chemicals imposes safety risks to
workers who need to handle and mix them. Mixing barrels are
often used to mix these hazardous solutions while keeping
them securely contained, minimizing worker exposure to
them. The Alfa Laval Vortex Mixmate is an advanced style of
mixing barrel designed with durability and optimum safety in
mind.
Applications
The Alfa Laval Vortex Mixmate is a high quality harsh chemical
mixing barrel that is built to withstand tough industrial
applications. It is designed for safe, rapid, homogeneous
mixing and dispensing of small batches of hazardous liquids.
Its most common use is in oil and gas drilling fluid applications
for the purpose of mixing dry caustic soda powder into small
batches of solution and feeding it into the drilling fluid to
regulate the drilling fluid pH level. Caustic soda solution mixing
is a highly exothermic heat generating reaction that results in
hot, corrosive liquid that can easily burn skin and eyes. The
Mixmate allows easy, proper mixing and dispensing of caustic
solution with no risk of physical exposure to personnel.
