Liquid/Solid Mixing Unit | Solidra – 03
The Liquid/Solid Mixing Unit Solidra – 03 studies agitation and mixing processes using interchangeable blade, propeller, and turbine stirrers. This Liquid/Solid Mixing Unit features transparent tanks with and without baffles, a torque meter, and a removable stainless steel heat exchanger coil. It supports experiments in emulsion, suspension, and solid-liquid solution formation up to 3000rpm and 100°C. An optional portable conductivity meter is available.
The Liquid/Solid Mixing Unit Solidra – 03 is a unit operation designed to cause erratic movements in a fluid using mechanical devices. This Liquid/Solid Mixing Unit is an independent experimental stand used to illustrate mixing processes during agitation. It uses a regulated electric motor with adjustable speed to drive agitators in a tank fitted with a pipe coil heat exchanger.
Product Overview
Liquid/Solid Mixing is a unit operation with the goal of causing erratic movements in a fluid by the use of mechanical devices. Agitation and mixing are frequently confused, although they are not the same thing. Agitation is the term used to describe the movement created in a substance in a particular manner, typically with a circulatory model inside some type of container, while a mixture is a random distribution of two or more phases that were initially divided. It is impossible to mix a single substance, such as water in a tank.
The Liquid/Solid Mixing Unit experimental stand is an independent unit used to illustrate the mixing processes during agitation. Different experiments relating to mixing are performed in a tank with agitators. The agitator is driven by a regulated electric motor with adjustable speed. In the tank, a pipe coil can be fitted as a heat exchanger.

Construction and Design
The Liquid/Solid Mixing Unit Solidra – 03 is built around a tank fitted with agitators, driven by a regulated electric motor with adjustable speed up to 3000rpm. Interchangeable stirrers include two blades, two propellers, and two turbines, configured as Two Blade Agitator, Two Propeller Agitator, and Two Turbine Agitator options. Tanks are transparent and available with baffles or without baffles. A torque meter, using a load cell, measures torque in the range of 0 to 5Nm. A stainless steel heat exchanger coil, removable and connectable to an external water supply, can be fitted in the tank for cooling or heating, supporting temperatures up to 100°C maximum.
