A static mixer (10) for mixing a fluid flow includes a mixer conduit (12) and a plurality of mixer baffle segments (30, 32) configured to divide and rotate the fluid flow. Each of the mixer baffle segments (30, 32) may consist of a plurality of planar baffle plates (40, 42, 44, 50, 52, 54, 56) interconnected together to minimize complex geometries that are difficult to mold. The planar baffle plates may be connected by chamfered surfaces (66) to minimize sharp corners which damage sensitive fluids in the mixer conduit (12). Each mixer baffle segment (30, 32) may include three planar divider baffle plates (40, 42, 44) oriented parallel to the direction of flow (F) and four planar occluding baffle plates (50, 52, 54, 56) oriented perpendicular to the direction of flow (F). The static mixer (10) thoroughly mixes two or more fluids passing through the mixer conduit (12). |
