Comparison of a conventional static mixer with the OHR MIXER

OHR MIXER | Conventional static mixer |
For difficult mixing and reaction situations |
For easy mixing and reaction situations |
The OHR MIXER is used as an alternative to bulky and
complicated conventional reaction equipment, because OHR
MIXER has a very strong mixing capability. Therefore it is used
for various difficult situations including emulsification without
an emulsifier, uniformly dispersing trace additives, and ozone
treatment without waste ozone decomposition equipment. ▶ 12 real-world examples |
Engineers share a common understanding that conventional
static mixers can only be used for premixing. It certainly was
an innovative technology at the beginning of its development
and was expected to be applied to various mixing facilities,
but now it is clear that it can only be used in simple situations. If you only require premixing, please use a conventional inline mixer. |

Fluids are separated into layers, and broken down
into microparticles by boundary layer separation |
Divided into 2 (1 to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 8,…) |
The OHR MIXER breaks down fluids into microparticles
instantaneously by two kinds of special structure, and the
microparticles are crushed vigorously by centrifugal and
centripetal forces. The OHR MIXER is original and there is no
inline mixer like it because it makes fluids finer by
hydrodynamic process without passing through narrow holes
or applying high pressure. ▶ Mechanism |
The principle of conventional static mixers is to divide the
fluids with helical plates fixed inside into two, so one becomes
two and two becomes four and four becomes eight and so on. There is no function to break down fluids into microparticles at all. |

Crossing plates (guide vane) and mushroom-shaped separators |
Helical plates are fixed continuously |
The structure is really simple. One OHR MIXER only is used in
one line. No need to connect more than one unit like
conventional static mixers. The unique (mushroom-shaped)
microparticle separator is inspired by airplane wing studies. ▶ Mechanism |
Helical plates are fixed inside, and divide the fluids. In cases
where two or more units are connected and used, the pressure
loss becomes high and in some cases fluid does not flow out
of the pipe outlet. |

Possible at a low pump pressure of 0.3MPa |
Impossible even when six static mixers are connected |
Water and oil will normally separate. But when passed
through an OHR MIXER at a very low pump pressure (0.3MPa),
water and oil can be emulsified in one pass without adding
an emulsifier. One user replaced $200,000 worth of high
pressure emulsification equipment with an OHR MIXER that
costs only $4,000. This fact is also proof that the OHR MIXER
has a very strong mixing ability. ▶ 12 real-world examples |
Even when six units are connected, emulsification is impossible. It does not have a powerful mixing capability that can miniaturize oil and water. |

0.5~3.0μm size passing through one unit one-pass only |
200μm-size even when passing through six static mixers |
With one pass, fluids are broken down very finely. |
The ability to miniaturize is very low, so fluids can not be broken down finely. |

Possible |
Impossible |
Conventional equipment which is high-pressured, bulky,
and expensive can be replaced with one OHR MIXER. It is
the only inline mixer that can meet challenges such as
being environmentally friendly, saving energy and being
genuinely innovative. |
Can be used for premixing, but can not replace the main reaction and mixing equipment. |
