High‑efficiency three‑dimensional rotary jet mixing technology designed to maximize mixing performance while reducing energy consumption by up to 40%, with no internal moving parts in contact with the product. The SII‑IM‑15 Rotary Jet Mixer is engineered for hygienic, efficient, and homogeneous mixing in dairy, milk, whey, and food process tanks. The system is designed to operate with batch tanks ranging from 528 to 26,417 gal (2–100 m³) and provides a recirculation flow rate of up to 167 gpm (38 m³/h). It is ATEX‑certified (Zones 0–20) and delivers a jet reach of up to 26.2 ft (8 m). This innovative mixing system utilizes three‑dimensional rotary jet technology to achieve rapid and uniform mixing throughout the entire tank volume. Unlike conventional agitators with shafts and propellers, the SII‑IM‑15 operates through an external recirculation loop that drives the product through rotating nozzles, ensuring complete tank coverage with controlled turbulence and high process efficiency. Operating Principle Installation: The mixer is mounted on a descending pipe and positioned below the liquid level inside the tank. Recirculation: An external pump withdraws product from the bottom of the tank and returns it through the mixer. Rotary Injection: The liquid is discharged through 2 or 4 nozzles that rotate simultaneously through 360° on both horizontal and vertical axes. Total Coverage: High‑velocity jets reach all areas of the tank, eliminating dead zones and ensuring uniform mixing. With no moving mechanical components inside the tank, the system eliminates the risk of lubricant contamination, avoids internal wear, and meets strict hygienic design requirements for food and dairy processing. The intelligent three‑dimensional rotation generates optimized flow patterns that prevent stratification and ensure homogeneity, even when processing products with different densities or viscosities up to 10,000 cP. By directing energy precisely where it is needed through high‑velocity jets, the system achieves the same or better mixing results than conventional agitators, with significantly lower energy consumption. The SII‑IM‑15 also integrates CIP cleaning using the same rotary jet technology, maximizing plant availability and reducing downtime. It is a versatile and reliable solution for applications ranging from fluid milk and whey to high‑viscosity dairy products.
