Suspended magnetic impeller/baffle apparatus for liquid

摘要

An apparatus and method for mixing materials such as reactants in a container which reduces or eliminates vortexing and swirling, improves mixing and eliminates degradation of the container and/or impeller comprises a container for holding liquids, a magnetic impeller coupled to a drive magnet located outside the container, where the impeller is suspended from a baffle assembly and located above the bottom of the container, a baffle assembly containing at least two vertical baffle elements with a horizontal cross member connecting the baffle elements, a portion or all of each of the baffle elements spaced from the wall of the container and a tube for providing liquid addition to the vicinity of the highly turbulent mixing around the impeller.
