What's New at Sharpe Mixers!

Sharpe Folding HYF218 impeller.

Sometimes the nozzle opening of a tank can be the limiting factor in determining the diameter of the impeller to be installed. But does it have to be? Not as far as Sharpe Mixers is concerned!

Sharpe Mixers has been designing folding impellers as a solution to such challenges for many years.
Sharpe folding blade HYF218 impellers feature a hydrofoil-style, 4 blade design that folds for easy installation and opens with centrifugal force upon start up.This eliminates the need for personnel to enter the tank or vessel. These folding impellers are designed for new and retrofit installations that require a larger impeller than can be installed through the nozzle, or where entering the tank to assemble the impeller is either dangerous, expensive, time consuming, or all the above.

Sharpe folding blade HYF218 impellers are available in sizes up to 210" dia. The folding design permits greater flexibility in tank designs.  The optional blade locking mechanism can be accessed from outside the tank for removing the mixer, if removing the mixer is ever necessary.

Retrofit possibilities include side-entry for large storage tanks or top entry when the tank service has changed and a new mixer is required.

Sharpe folding HYF218 impellers are available various materials and sizes.
