Liquid Mixers
Liquid jet mixer
Liquid jet mixers type fm1 are based on proven jet pump technology and often used to mix and circulate liquids.
Applications
Liquid jet mixers are jet pumps to mix and circulate liquids. The range of applications for liquid jet mixers is only limited by the viscosity of the liquid to be mixed. As a rule, jet mixers can be used in all cases where the liquid to be mixed can still be supplied by a centrifugal pump.
Liquid jet mixers are mainly used in vessels, storage tanks and neutralization basins.
How do Liquid jet mixers work?
The liquid jet coming out of the motive nozzle generates a partial vacuum in the inlet cone of the diffuser, and therefore, a liquid flow is extracted from the tank and is entrained. The motive jet mixes with the entrained liquid and accelerates its flow. The liquid mixture emerging from the jet mixer spreads out in conical form and entrains more liquid from its surroundings.
If one or several such jet mixers are correctly arranged, a three-dimensional flow is produced in the tank which mixes all of the contents homogeneously.
For the evaluation of the number of mixers, following criteria are decisive:
- Geometry and size of the tank or basin
- Liquid to be mixed
- Mixing time
- Maximal and minimal liquid level

Feeding the future: The power of freeze-drying innovation
Waste reduction is important to us at GEA, and by harnessing the power of freeze drying technology, we can transform surplus food into valuable, long-lasting products – helping to reduce waste, extend shelf life and build a more resilient food supply for generations to come.
GEA and Pulmuone honor generations of cold noodle craftsmanship
When plant-forward South Korean food producer Pulmuone brought GEA the challenge of developing a modern spin on the traditional chewy cold (naengmyeon) noodle, GEA’s R&D experts were up to the challenge. They helped develop what is now a commercial hit produced with less water and electricity than previously existing methods. The result is also true to the traditional origins of the dish as well as Pulmuone’s health, well-being and sustainability roots.
