Westfall Model 3050 Static Mixer
Patent Pending

The Westfall Model 3050 Mixer was developed for situations with low available head. The mixer consists of a length of pipe fitted with four vanes. The tapered and curved vanes create vortices and multiple zones of turbulence that intersect to turn flow inside out. This produces good mixing while reducing headloss.
