Disc Turbine

Description

The Disc Turbine in the Blade System

A Rushton-style disc turbine: vertical blades on a disc, for shear work in syrups and creams where a plain turbine loses grip. Heidon’s selection chart places it in the dispersing column for dispersing and emulsifying in medium-viscosity liquids around 10,000 mPa·s. Available in ø40, ø80, ø100, ø120 mm.

Choosing It Over the Alternatives

• Disc-mounted blades: the disc forces flow through the blade tips instead of letting it bypass along the shaft
• Vessel match: above 10,000 mPa·s, choose a blade diameter of at least 60 percent of the vessel diameter; the size steps in this line exist for that rule
• Combination mixing: pair a shear blade with a circulation blade on one shaft when a batch needs both dispersing and turnover

In the Box and On the Shaft

Blade only; shafts are sold separately and in the FS blade sets. Fits every Three-One Motor mixer that takes the ø8 mm shaft. Backed by our One-Year Total Care Warranty covering parts, labor, and specification compliance.

Need the shaft too? The ø8 mm Mixing Shaft SUS-316 comes in five lengths with the retaining nut included.
