Typical Applications
Feed Equalization Neutralization Flash Mixing Flocculation Further
Treatments
Drive Units
Expertise in Applications
KWI has developed a series of high
quality drive units during the last
decades suitable for different
applications. Each drive unit model is
specially designed to match the KWI
impellers, and therefore, be able to
maximize the efficiency of agitators.

Selected Motor Suppliers

SIEMENS, SEW and ABB are the
selected motor suppliers for KWI
agitators to guarantee the service life
of drive units.
KWI AGITATORS
Computational Fluid
Dynamics
All our impellers have been carefully optimized by means of
advanced CFD studies through our experts from KWI's R&D Center.
Lifting efficiency and mixing intensity in terms of shear force input
or turbulence intensity are consequently investigated in detail to
increase the efficiency of our agitators. The outcome are highly
advanced agitators.

Agitator Application
FlashApplication
Agitator Mixing

The KWI RapidMix

Agitator is perfectly
designed for fast
mixing and lifting,
to enable homogenous
mixing and avoid dead
zones.
The quarto-mix impeller
provides a high-speed
mixing performance
with controlled shear
force input at low
power consumption.
Agitator Application
Flocculation

Too much shear during

the flocculation step
would damage the
desired floc particles.
The features of KWI
RapidMix Agitators
also enable it be
adopted in flocculation
process to provide
fast, but mild
agitation.
Agitator Application
Chemical Dosing System

The KWI 3-pitched-blade

impeller is capable of two
modes of operation both
continuous and intermittent.
Experts from the KWI R&D Center
derived optimized impellers to
maximize the efficiency of
chemical dissolving and stirring.
The system is chosen according to
the viscosity and rheology
of the fluid.
The selection of the system
material is based on the chemicals
used.
