Accessories Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the advantages of the Ring Blade?

    It provides higher tip speeds, stronger shear forces, and improved dispersion performance, though it requires more horsepower.

  • What is a Poly-peller industrial blade?

    A polymeric blade designed for abrasive applications where long wear life is important. It can last up to 10 times longer than standard metal blades.

  • What is the most common impeller type used in the chemical industry?

    The High Shear impeller, commonly known as “Cowles Blade” or “F Blade,” is the most common and efficient blade design for most dispersion applications. 

  • What additional benefit does the Poly-peller provide over other industrial dispersion blades?

    Most designs are reversible and can be flipped over to double their service life.

  • When should a High Shear impeller be used?

    For most mixing and dispersion applications where efficient particle breakdown is required.

  • What materials are available for High Shear impellers?

    Standard 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, chrome-plated, and tungsten carbide-coated versions are available. 

  • What is a High Vane impeller used for?

    Applications requiring less shear and more mixing action, with enhanced pumping and blending while minimizing heat generation.
  • What is a Chopper (Pick) blade used for?

    Rapid dispersion of fibrous materials or solid materials such as rubber. It is designed to chop, cut, and break apart large agglomerates. 

  • What is the Ring Blade ("D" Blade)?

    A high-performance dispersion tool that creates higher shear than conventional saw-tooth blades and can significantly reduce or eliminate downstream milling requirements.
