SMP Static Mixing Plate

Creating a homogenous flow in liquids and gasses, the patented SMP Static Mixing Plate ensures accurate flow measurement and mixing for a variety of purposes and materials including natural gas and crude oil and refined fuels. It is particularly well suited for sampling, blending, additive injection, and homogenizing building materials, adhesives, gasses, foods, fire fighting foam, etc.

The uniquely simple, patented design requires no outside energy source, utilizing the natural flow within the pipe instead and achieving turbulent flow at a much lower Reynolds number than other conventional static mixers. The Static Mixing Plate divides that flow into two counter-rotating streams. These vortices rotate until the energy added to the flow is totally dissipated, thereby creating a homogenous flow over a short distance with minimal pressure drop.

When mixing heavier fluids that stratify in a horizontal pipeline, the front scoop option can be used to lift the heavier fluid from the bottom of the pipe, mixing it with the fluid in the top. The Static Mixing Plate is easily incorporated into your pipeline with minimal space requirements as it easily inserts between two flanges.

Horizontal longitudinal sectional of the SMP’s mixing element secured between opposite end flanges or sections along a pipeline or flow conduit.
Vertical longitudinal sectional of the mixing element, particularly the two counter-rotating flow streams created after the laminar flow stream passes through the mixing element.
