Propeller stirring rotors
For various applications
The propeller is a well-known stirring rotor that is widely used for low viscosity fluids or suspensions. Typical for propellers are three rounded blades and the mainly axial flow pattern. This effect can be increased by using a guide ring.

Recommended stirrer size in relation to the container diameter
The application area of a propeller is versatile. It is suitable for homogenising low viscosity liquids or suspensions and provides a proper heat exchange. The flow is directed from the bottom of the container to the walls and up to the top. The stirring medium accelerates downwards at the propeller head.
