12 SALOMIX ® mixing technology products – for your reliable and efficient process Sulzer Pumps has unique knowledge of the needs of pulp and paper industry’s agitation processes. Over 30 years experience within PPI ensures success in the challenges of today’s mixing tasks. SALOMIX ® TES Top Entry Spreader * ) TES spreads stock evenly on the top surface to control the flow in the upper, high-consistency part of the tower. The quality of the discharged stock remains good. This method gives following advantages: • Creates a uniform continuous downflow, no stagnant stock zones. • Variable rotating speed always spreads a fresh top layer of stock regardless of the surface level. • Prevents channeling and air entrainment into the stock. SALOMIX ® GLI * ) GLI is a special center fillet located at the bottom of the storage tower. GLI enables trouble-free operation of highconsistency storage and bleaching towers with a large bottom zone using several agitators. GLI ensures effective mixing, and dilution is intensified by baffles: • GLI with dilution baffles is used to create a well controlled mixing/dilution zone to the tower bottom. • GLI separates effectively the storage zone and active mixing and dilution zone of the tower thus giving a powerful tool to ensure even discharge consistency and good operation of the tower. SALOMIX ® VULCA * ) VULCA is another type of tower bottom center fillet pillar. While VULCA stands at the tower bottom, filling and pumping stock through VULCA saves pumping energy, boosts bottom zone mixing, and prevents the mixing of air into the stock at low stock levels. * ) Patented
