Right now we are delivering marine-style impellers in 4″, 5″ and 6″ diameters with 0.75″, 1.0″ and 1.25″ diameter shafts. Shaft lengths are available in 12″ increments. We plan to extend these impeller sizes to 2″, 3″ and 7″ diameters and offer a 0.375″ and 0.5″ diameter shafts. After these products are complete we will begin offering additional designs such as magnetic and hydrofoil impellers. Contact us if there is an impeller design you would like us to consider.

No! In fact we use Kynar® PVDF to powder coat the mixer shaft. However, the impeller portion of the mixer is a different story. The coated surface on the leading edge of the impeller is rapidly worn through leading to exposure of the metal substrate resulting in corrosion and process contamination. Even the thickest coatings typically last for no more than a year in the best environments and can fail due to wear in a matter of months on a mixer operating in particulate-rich solutions.

Yes! We know a lot about injection molding, extrusion and powder coating of PVDF. We would be very interested in reviewing your design proposal. Please contact us with all the details.

Stiffness. The 316 SST steel shaft helps minimize wobble and run out at the bottom of the rotating mixer. This shaft is made from high-tolerance pump shaft quality (PSQ) steel. Young’s Modulus is a measure of material stiffness. Steel has roughly 100 times the stiffness of PVDF but lacks the corrosion resistance of PVDF. We use PVDF to powder coat the exterior of the steel shaft to a nominal thickness of 1mm (0.040″). The Kynar® PVDF powder coating is made from the same material used for injection molding of the Purisan™ PVDF impellers and will provide a long-lasting corrosion barrier.

Off-the-shelf items will ship within 24 hours of order placement. If we can’t meet this deadline we will contact you with a revised shipment date.

No. Our 4″, 5″ and 6″ Purisan™ PVDF industrial mixers have 16mm internal coarse threads. These impellers can be mounted on any shaft with compatible threads. The inverse also applies: a Purisan™ shaft can be mounted to any impeller with matching 16mm threads.

A threaded connection is the best way to lock the stainless steel shaft onto the impeller. Concerns about contamination are eliminated by using an FKM fluoroelastomer gasket between the impeller and shaft.  In case of damage or change in process conditions, the mixer can be easily disassembled and mounted with a different impeller or a replacement shaft. This is a 30 second change out and not a five-week replacement! Contact us for more details.

Yes. Please contact us and we will get this sent out.
