SX Chemical Mixer is a medium consistency mixer designed for mixing both gaseous and liquid bleaching chemicals and steam into paper stock.

The rotor of the mixer fluidizes the stock together with the casing turbulence generators, thus disrupting the fiber network and resulting in the optimum mixing result. Perpendicular positioning of the rotor and the unique three dimensional turbulence zone prevent the separation of gas. An inhomogeneity of 5 to 10 % is normally considered acceptable; a SX Chemical Mixer reaches an inhomogeneity value of as low as 3 to 6 %.

Mixing chemicals and pulp is one of the most important operations in pulp bleaching. Good mixing provides homogeneous bleaching conditions, reduces consumption of chemicals and energy, improves product quality, and reduces the environmental load. Mixing is a key factor in the success of new, environmentally-beneficial bleaching sequences.
