An impeller designed for higher
viscosity products. A helix is shaped like a spiral, usually
rotating close to the tank wall. The Flights of the
helical shaped blades move the product up (or down) the tank
wall, promoting top-to-bottom motion in viscous materials
that is superior to simple anchor or "picket-fence"
impellers. Helix impellers are specifically designed
to fit the particular process. One, two or more helix
flights; with or without lower "tank-bottom" blades; with
either all-welded or bolted assemblies with adjustable
blades. An internal screw (auger) may be added to the
shaft to aid in material turnover.
