Anchor Mixing Element
An Anchor Mixing Element is an industrial mixing blade named for its anchor-like shape. It consists of a central shaft with flat, curved blades set at 90 or 45 degrees, allowing them to scrape the vessel walls while creating a pumping effect for radial and axial mixing.
Jongia Anchor Mixing Elements are used where gentle, uniform mixing is needed rather than high shear. They are well suited for viscous or non-Newtonian fluids such as adhesives, polymers, and food emulsions. Their gentle action helps prevent agglomerates and ensures consistent mixing throughout the batch.
