<--- flow --- Center of the bin --- flow--->
(existing heap of powder)

Since the powder is kind of sticky and cleaning of the entire equipment is scheduled to be less than 90 minutes, it should be an open screw so I was thinking in the direction of a double helical ribbon. Since this is mainly made for mixing I have a few questions:

Is it possible to use this principle as a semi-transport screw instead of a mixer?

It will be a double helical ribbon to prevent the powders from being pushed to the side of the bin. Which flight provides the most transportation, the inner or the outer one?]]>

The tank is round, 120 inches tall and 72 inches wide. The agitator shaft is 3.477 inches in diameter and 117 inches long. There are three impellers on the shaft one at 11 inches from the bottom, the next at 46.75 inches from the bottom and the last at 84.75 inches from the bottom. There are four blades on each impeller at a 45 degree angle; each blade is 27.5 inches long.

The solution I am mixing has a specific gravity of 1.45 and a viscosity of 6.2 cP.

This is far from my small area of knowledge and I would appreciate any help you could give me. ]]>
