Folding Impellers to the Rescue!

HYF218 Impeller with folding blades.

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 has been designing folding impellers as a solution to such challenges for many years.  The example shown here is 72" dia. HYF218 impeller, designed to fit through a 16" nozzle opening.  In its static position, the blades will point downward.  Once the impeller begins to rotate, centrifugal force opens the blades to its full diameter.

Tight fit?  No problem!
