Alfa Laval Stainless Steel and Rubber Materials
Technical Information
Stainless Steel
Our stainless steel material have the following demands to the contents of the most essential alloys:
Rubber Materials
In order to obtain the longest possible lifetime for rubber seals it is essential to choose the right quality for the actual duty.
Consequently when choosing rubber quality, the characteristics of the different rubber types should be considered. All product
wetted rubber material are in conformity of FDA.
Silicone rubber, Q
The most significant quality of silicone rubber is that it can be applied from temperatures below -50°C (-58°F) to approx.
+ 180°C (356°F) and still keep its elasticity. The chemical resistance is satisfactory to most products. However, undiluted lye and
acids as well as hot water and steam may destroy silicone rubber. The resistance to ozone is good.
Ratings
1 = Unsuitable.
2 = Limited suitability.
3 = Normal suitability.
4 = High suitability.
The table contains data which have been compiled from the results of our own tests and the recommendations of our raw
material suppliers. The data should be considered as recommendations only and will be brought up-to-date from time to time.
They are based on constant contact with the specified product.

Alfa Laval RJ Mixer IM-10
Tank mixers
Introduction
The Alfa Laval IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer effectively handles liquid
mixing, gas dispersion, powder mixing, and tank cleaning
while reducing mixing time, energy consumption and costs.
Applications
The IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer is designed for liquid mixing, gas
dispersion (aeration, deaeration, carbonation), and powder
mixing in process and storage vessels from 1 to 10 m3 in size
across the dairy, food, beverage, brewery, healthcare, home
and personal care, and biotechnology industries.
Benefits the tank. The nozzles rotate around both the horizontal and
• Fast, effective liquid mixing performance in tanks vertical axes in a 360° movement. This three-dimensional jet
• Efficient gas and powder dispersion rotation enables the jets to reach the entire tank volume,
• Can be used as tank cleaning machine providing fast, efficient mixing of the injected liquid, gas or
• Handles multiple applications powder without requiring batch rotation.
• Unmatched, cost-effective mixing performance
• Simplified, hygienic design, modest investment The complete system is built with a circulation loop, enabling
• Optional pre-engineered skid-mounted pump unit available liquid to be pumped from the bottom of the tank and back
into the Rotary Jet Mixer. For faster mixing requirements,
Standard design several rotary jet mixers can be installed in series.
The Alfa Laval IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer consists of a mixer
body, turbine and nozzles. Compared to traditional systems
using propeller mixers, there is no need for a shaft, seal or
gearbox. Excellent mixing is achieved without the use of
baffles or any batch rotation. Available in four different models
(IM 10, IM 15, IM 20, IM 25), these mixers are designed for
tank volumes from 100 litres in size and beyond, and they are
capable of handling re-circulation flow rates up to 90 m3/h.
Working principle
Before round pumping or adding any products from upstream
pipe works, ensure that the IM 10 Rotary Jet Mixer is
positioned at the correct level and submerged into the liquid.
Four nozzles feed the liquid, gas or powder into the liquid in

Mixer in the tank by connecting it to the end of the circulation pipe.
After powder is introduced in the funnel, the C-Ball valve under the funnel is opened. The valve is the only component that the
operator must control during introduction of the powder. The injector positioned under the valve creates an under pressure in the
funnel outlet, drawing the powder into the rotor-stator stage of the pump and blending the powder and liquid into a
homogeneous mixture. The impeller in the second stage of the pump transfers the powder-liquid mixture back to the tank while
part of the powder-liquid mixture is sent through the injector creating the under pressure in the funnel outlet, which enables the
suction of the powder into the liquid.
When mixing is complete, the Hybrid Powder Mixer may be used as a discharge pump or, when used with the Alfa Laval Rotary
Jet Mixer, as a CIP forward pump – depending on the size of the tank and Rotary Jet Mixer - to clean the tank interior.

Operation of the Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer S15
The two-stage inline Hybrid Powder Mixer is installed in a recirculation loop connected to a batch tank. After adding liquid
ingredients to the tank, the Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer S15 is used to circulate the liquid over the tank. To provide high-
efficiency mixing in tanks with volumes larger than 1 - 2 m³ it is recommended to install an Alfa Laval Rotary Jet Mixer in the tank
by connecting it to the end of the circulation pipe.
Before powder is added in to the funnel, we have to make sure that no air is in the circulation pipe and a minimum pressure of 1
bar is build up after the HPM. After powder is introduced in the funnel, the C-Ball valve under the funnel is opened. The valve is
the only component that the operator must control during introduction of the powder. The injector positioned under the valve
creates an under pressure in the funnel outlet, drawing the powder into the rotor-stator stage of the pump and blending the
powder and liquid into a homogeneous mixture. The impeller in the second stage of the pump transfers the powder-liquid
mixture back to the tank while part of the powder-liquid mixture is sent through the injector creating the under pressure in the
funnel outlet, which enables the suction of the powder into the liquid.
When mixing is complete, the Hybrid Powder Mixer may be used as a discharge pump or, when used with the Alfa Laval Rotary
Jet Mixer, as a CIP forward pump – depending on the size of the tank and Rotary Jet Mixer - to clean the tank interior.
