The year just ended was rich in satisfaction for PRO-DO-MIX. We have grown and exceeded expectations. We start 2023 on the basis of the excellent results we have collected and with a good
news, actually two: Luigi and Mirko join the team of PRO-DO-MIX to face new challenges and achieve ambitious results.
When a company grows, there are at least two options: the first is to enjoy the results and settle down, the second is to relaunch and bet on the future. We naturally chose the second option, but we
did not give up celebrating.
In our business, timing, vision and momentum are not enough: you also need many, diverse and transversal skills. So we return from holiday just in time to welcome Luigi and Mirko at PRO-DO-MIX. Two engineers: one experienced, with the enthusiasm of the early days, the other very young, with many qualities and the desire to grow.
Luigi is the first general manager of PRO-DO-MIX and a key figure for our future. He will be responsible for building new workflows and processes, making them lean, agile and efficient. He will
lead and simplify complex projects, making work easier for colleagues. Less complexity means better goals can be achieved in less time and more energy is available to spread, innovate and accelerate business growth.
With Mirko, on the other hand, we have already known each other for a few months: he started with a three-month internship, wrote an experimental thesis on agitator sizing, graduated and was hired as a mechanical designer. And the sizing of vertical agitators will be his hobbyhorse: a skill that we have been lacking and that will take us further in the field of design.
Finally, I’d like to allow myself one more thought: in recent weeks, I have been reading and hearing a lot about AI – artificial intelligence – and its rapid advances. I have always been – since I was a child dreaming of making a living from music – hungry for innovation, including technological innovation: it fascinates me and serves me in my working life.
However, the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that people will always make the difference. Of course, we will also invest in innovative machines – which will make us more competitive – but I am proud to say that PRO-DO-MIX has only got to where it is today thanks to Luigi, Mirko and the 16 other people who work with me every day.
And yes, people still make a difference, as I say in the title. And that will continue for many years to come.
Flocculant mixing system with two-blade impeller. Thanks to its high hydrodynamic profile with wide blade surface, has the highest flow rate at the lowest peripheral speed. This design is aimed to prevent the fluid coming out from one blade to immediately meet the second blade.
Therefore, it is perfect when managing very delicate applications, where the fluid needs to be handled very gently and carefully. That is why Premium is specific for flocculation.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 800 to 3000 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
Three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. Within our industrial impeller models, it has the lowest torque for the same flow rate. Moreover, it can create the highest flow rate with the lowest peripheral speed.
It is perfect as flow-maker, for high head values in recirculation.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 200 to 3500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
High-efficiency three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. Thanks to its high flow rate, it is particularly suitable for flash mixing, sludge and solid suspension, equalization, etc.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 900 to 1500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
Three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. It is the “evolution” of Hurricane. Its internal velocity gradient, constant from the centre to the edge of the blade, allows the positioning of an impeller with large diameter very close to the bottom of the tank. That makes Evolution perfect for applications that require the mixer’s continuous operation during the total draw-off of the tank.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 1650 to 3500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
Three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. Due to its special design, it can produce a centrifugal effect for which the impeller can be defined self-cleaning, thanks to this anti-clogging effect.
It is specific for nitrification/denitrification, anaerobic digestion, mixing in anoxic systems and other applications with presence of fibres.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 1600 to 3500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
It is widely used in a broad range of applications due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Within Water Treatment, pitched blade impellers are perfect for polyelectrolyte preparation and maturation, primary neutralization and pH adjustment.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 200 to 2000 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
This helical type impeller is very versatile, generally installed in fast direct mixers. Very common in small preparations of chemicals.
It is manufactured from casting in proprietary moulds.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 90 to 160 mm diameter.
Available in 2 material options, polypropylene (PP) and stainless steel (SS 316L).
Perfect when dealing with high viscosities, cowles agitators are typically used in paints or detergents industry. Their design, combined with the high shear, allow the product dispersion and foster a quick dissolution.
They can be manufactured with different diameters, 75 to 750 mm.
Different joint options are available.
Generally used within food & beverage and cosmetics industry to manage high viscosity products or to foster heat exchange.
It is common within the pharmaceutical industry as well, in processes such as crystallization.
Moreover, it is often used as universal rotor in small tanks for multi-stage applications.
The engineering and the manufacturing of this anchor type impeller are directly related to the tank features.
Plastic mixing impeller generally used within food farming industry, for fertilization and irrigation.
It is only available 130 mm diameter.
Manufactured with white polyethylene (PE).
