Pre-mixer solves sucking problems for powder
15 Jan 2000
Joshua Greaves claims that its design of Liquivac vacuum pump solves the problems occurring when powder is added to liquid. A vacuum is commonly used to pull powder into a liquid stream. Irregular powder feeds and limited vacuum capabilities are common problems.
Recent work carried out by Greaves using Liquivac to blend diesel fuel and pigment powder has proven successful.
Balanced proportions of liquid and powder are pulled into the pump, pre-mixed and pumped through a Greaves mixer for final blending.
