Hello all,
This is my first post to the forum.
We're installing a side entering mixer into our 15 milk silos that we're manufacturing. According to James Y. Oldshue, in his book : FLUID MIXING TECHNOLOGY (see attached scan)
"if the impeller is rotating clockwise, the mixer must be angled to the left (fig. 1-23) [offset from the center]"
is the corrolary true : "but if the mixer is offset to the right, make it rotate counter-clockwise and mirror the blades (to keep having the flow going forward, instead of pulling the fluid)
For various space constraints (interference with side manway cover), we want to install the mixer angled to the right. Can I wire the motor to rotate counterclockwise and manufacture a mirror blade impeller ?
regards,
Dimitri
