Rotamix hydraulic mixing for digester

Rotamix is a cost-effective and stable stirring system that stirs and disperses solids in large volumes, for example in digesters. Agitation is done with a Vaughan chopper pump and fixed ejector nozzles. It is a very competitive alternative to propeller, gas and air agitation and can be advantageously installed in basins, tanks and digesters. Due to the lack of moving components inside the tank, maintenance is minimal.

How does the Rotamix agitation system work?

Rotamix agitation system involves a circulation and process agitation in a digester or similar type of tank. The jet agitation is created by means of fixed jet nozzles and an external pump.

  • A laminar flow has its highest velocity at the outer edge of the tank
  • A vortex-oriented flow has the highest velocity at the centre
  • Combined, it gives a more uniform flow in the tank/digester and there is good agitation along the entire diameter of the tank

Vaughan’s chopper pump is the heart of the agitation system process, as it not only pumps the media around but also continuously disperses all solids. The specially designed jet nozzles are positioned and angled for optimum performance, and for the induced flow to greatly increase agitation. The high-speed nozzles maintain the jet over a long distance and thus the agitation reaches around the entire volume of the tank.

Customised agitation systems with many advantages

At MAF Pump, we design, calculate and optimise each individual Rotamix agitation system based on unique data specified by the customer. Each Rotamix system is therefore optimised to your unique conditions.

A common application is stirring in biogas tanks and municipal digesters, where Rotamix stirring systems have a number of advantages:

  • Mixing of the entire volume.
  • Even and high temperature everywhere.
  • Minimises the risk of sedimentation.
  • The continuous disintegration of coarser particles by the chopper pump provides a larger surface area for the bacterial flora to attack, resulting in a higher gas yield.
  • Continuous cutting also prevents the formation of long structures, which otherwise hinder efficient agitation.
  • In addition, the increased digestion rate reduces the volume of sludge in the dewatering process and facilitates further disposal of the sludge.
