Portable mixers don’t usually get the credit they deserve, but this technology plays a pivotal role in critical industrial liquid-handling applications. Like pumps, portable mixers are an essential technology that can provide operators with several years of service if properly designed and engineered.

When looking to optimize cost, efficiency, return on investment and yield, growers must utilize a pump that can precisely and accurately introduce the desired amount of fertilizers and chemicals into the farm’s center-pivot water irrigation system. While a variety of pumping technology can be used, hydraulic and mechanical diaphragm metering pumps are perfect for these operations because they incorporate the design features and benefits necessary to positively impact the grower's bottom line.

Pumps are acknowledged workhorses in industrial liquid-handling applications, but there is another technology that, while not necessarily as highly recognized as the pump, plays a pivotal role in critical industrial liquid-handling applications. This technology is the portable mixer, and properly designed and engineered mixers can provide the operator with many years of service in a wide variety of blending or mixing operations.

Many industrial liquid-handling applications require the precise dosing and injection of chemicals and other raw materials on the way to creating a usable end product. This demand for precise flow rates at predetermined schedules and pressures relies on a very specific pumping technology, one that can promote adherence to the injection schedule and liquid volumes.
