Jensen Mixer Series 400 for Tank Cleaning

Blending vs. Cleaning — A Critical Distinction

There are significant differences between blending and cleaning operations which must be recognized when applying side entering mixers to crude oil storage tanks. The flow patterns established by blending mixers allow sediment accumulations.

These "dead spots" are not affected by increased running time or by ineffective reversal of propeller operation. They are removed only by the direct sweeping action of the propeller flow stream. The Jensen Mixer Series 400 for Tank Cleaning offers a unique Vari-Angle feature that allows the flow stream to be directed to any area of the tank, assuring complete tank cleaning.

Vari-Angle Feature

The Vari-Angle feature is a precision, ball-type stuffing box allowing 60° angular movement. Sealing is accomplished by Teflon® impregnated non-asbestos packing which is fully adjustable to eliminate leaks.

• Mixer weight supported entirely by two heavy duty, pin type hinges
• No turn-buckles, tie rods, bases, or other extra supports required
• Angle changes can be made easily by one man
• Automatically controlled by the optional Mechanical Actuator
• Proven effective for re-suspending tank bottom sediment
• Entry angle should be changed periodically for maximum effectiveness
