Blades

The Conn Blade line are patented intensive type stirrers with unique design features making them ideal for low shear blending or high shear dispersion. The louvers formed in the plain of the blade provide maximum pumping action. Giving positive over all movement with quality top to bottom flow, they can decrease the required processing time considerably. Due to finer grind attained in pre-mix, mill time may be reduced or further processing may be unnecessary. The structural and balanced design of the blades eliminates the need for stabilizer rings and heavy stiffening plates. The standard heavier gauge construction give the blades much longer life against abrasion. Type 304 stainless is standard however a higher grade stainless, titanium, carbon steel, or other materials are available as well as case hardening.

The standard blade is right hand which would turn in a clockwise direction thus pumping material down or away from the drive unit. Left hand blades for counter-clockwise rotation are also available. For some applications it is desirable to use a right hand and left hand blade on the same shaft thus bringing material up form the bottom and down from the top increasing the blending forces between the blades. This arrangement is excellent for sparging gas or liquids into the mix.
