We manufacture epoxy products with stirred tanks. We blend the resin and hardener separately. What is a good design for a stirred tank mixer and what are the power requirements? The viscosity is between 2,500-5,000 cp, the volume is 2,000 liters, the dimensions of the tank are 1.5 meters in diameter and the height is 2.5 meters.
Have an insight or suggestion?

Re: What is a good design for a stirred tank mixer?
