The Jensen Series 500 Mixer is designed for special applications — from asphalt and bitumen to biofuels, high-sulfur chemicals, and specialty vegetable and aviation oils. Every design feature is tailored to meet the demanding requirements of these challenging fluid services. Available with either standard cast iron wetted components or upgraded 316 stainless steel wetted parts for more caustic applications.

Designed for Special Applications

The Series 500 is engineered specifically for challenging fluid services that demand robust construction, flexible sealing, and reliable long-term performance:

Asphalt / Bitumen
Biofuels
High Sulfur Chemical
Corn Oil
Canola Oil
Palm Oil
Hot Gas Oil
Tall Oil
Aviation De-Icer Blends

Materials of Construction

The Series 500 is available with two wetted component material options to match the corrosivity and temperature requirements of your application:

Standard — Cast Iron

Cast iron wetted components for asphalt, bitumen, hot gas oil, and other non-corrosive high-temperature applications.

Upgraded — 316 Stainless Steel

316SS wetted components for high-sulfur chemical, biofuels, tall oil, and other caustic or corrosive fluid services.

Special Seal Options

A variety of sealing configurations allow flexibility in determining the best fit for the application. All seal options are designed for ease of field maintenance.

Single Mechanical Seal

Standard configuration for most special-application service. Suitable for asphalt, biofuels, and chemical blends where a single seal provides adequate containment.

Double Mechanical Seal with Thermo-Siphon System

Two-seal arrangement with a thermo-siphon barrier fluid system. Recommended for high-temperature, high-sulfur, or hazardous fluid applications requiring secondary containment.

Stuffing Box

Compression packing arrangement for applications where mechanical seals are not suitable. Field adjustable and serviceable without removing the mixer from the tank.
