Portable Mixers

5-55 Drum-Stick PULSAIR’s portable mixer designed to mix products in a 55 gallon drum.

10-55 Tote Stick PULSAIR’s portable mixer designed to mix products in totes and IBCs larger than 55 gallons and less than 1,000 gallons.

PTM-2000 PULSAIR’s heavy-duty portable mixer. This mixer comes in four different sizes and is capable of mixing tanks up to 30,000. The PTM-2000 is designed to mix liquids, including heavy sludge and residues, in a wide variety of tanks, including vertical and horizontal cylinders, rectangular tanks and most transportation vessels. It can be hand-held or clamped to the side of the tank.

Engineered Systems

FT-1 Designed for single, flat bottom tanks.

FT-2 Designed for two (located side by side) flat bottom tanks. The FT-2 mixes one tank at a time. When connected to an RSC, PPC or a PRSC, the FT-2 can act like an FT-2D by mixing both tanks simultaneously.

FT-2D Designed for mixing two flat bottom tanks simultaneously. The FT-2D has two pressure regulators so that the injection pressure can be independently adjusted for each tank . The injection frequency (Dwell setting) will be the same for both tanks.

FT-3 Designed for mixing three (all adjacent to each other) flat bottom tanks. It can also be configured with the RC option. The FT-3 is the limit as to the number of flat bottom tanks that can be operated from a single pneumatic controller. It is not feasible to engineer an FT-4 as it is more economical to purchase two FT-2s.

HT-1 This system is designed for mixing in a single horizontal tank. The HT-1 system mixes in a horizontal tank with the same efficiency and effectiveness that an FT-1 has in a vertical tank. The HT system is identical to the FT system except for the accumulator plate arrangement. The HT system usually has a single row of plates along the longitudinal axis of the tank bottom. All of the options such as remote control, programmable controllers, and dual-tank systems which are available with other systems are also available with the HT systems. Thus, an HT-2D RC would mix two horizontal tanks one at a time or both simultaneously and would accept electrical on/off signals.

VTS-1 This system is designed for cone bottom tanks. The VTS system utilizes a single accumulator plate that is located in the bottom of the cone. All of the options such as remote control, programmable controllers, and dual-tank systems available with the other systems are also available with the VTS systems. Thus, an VTS-2D RC would mix two horizontal tanks one at a time or both simultaneously and would accept electrical on/off signals.

Remote Control Options

RSC The remote station controller is specifically designed to interface with PULSAIR pneumatic station controllers that have been fitted with the remote control (RC) option. The RSC is engineered by PULSAIR to control up to two FT, HT or VTS pneumatic station controllers.

PRSC A PLC timing device capable of turning on several (the largest to date is 32) PULSAIR pneumatic station controllers at pre-determined times and for pre-determined mixing duration. This system also provides intermittent mixing and displays time remaining when requested. Data is entered and/or changed using a Operator Interface Terminal (OIT). The OIT has a keypad for data entry and two lines of text that prompt the operator.

PPC The PULSAIR PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER (PPC) is configured to eliminate the pneumatic station controller at the tank. It combines all the the features of the pneumatic controller with the features of the PRSC. At the tank, the pneumatic controller is replaced by an electro-pneumatic interface (EPI) that converts the electrical signals from the PPC to pilot air signals that open and close the injection valves. In autumn of 1998, Pulsair introduced a Touchscreen Controller option for the PPC, greatly simplifying operation of the system. There are no practical limits to the number of tanks a PPC can control. As of November of 1998 we had a PPC controlling 48 tanks.
