Key Features
Superior Energy Efficiency
The Hyperbolic Mixer is engineered to minimise energy consumption while maximising water movement. Its backwards-curved pump blades are specifically designed to move large volumes of water with minimal power input. Additionally, the high-efficiency speed reducer minimises power losses, resulting in optimum conversion of power input into water mixing energy.
Exceptional Durability and Reliability
The Hyperbolic Mixer is built for longevity and high performance. The speed reducer is selected with a service factor that exceeds 100,000 hours of calculated life, ensuring long-term reliability. Heavy-duty output bearings provide robust support against all loads imposed by the rotor, eliminating the need for a lower guide bearing. The oversized drive shaft and sturdy mounting base minimise lateral rotor deflection and vibrations, ensuring stable and consistent operation.
High-Quality Materials for Corrosion Resistance
All wetted parts are manufactured from AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel to provide excellent corrosion resistance in demanding environments. For applications involving highly saline or aggressive wastewaters, special coatings and materials are available to further enhance durability and performance. These include Super Duplex stainless steel, FRP, Carbon Fiber, Aluminium and Nickel/Monel.
Customisation Options
The Hyperbolic Mixer is available in standard configurations ranging from 0.75 to 22 kW. For projects with unique requirements, custom designs can be provided to ensure the mixer meets specific process needs. Using a customer’s tank design details, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis can be used to simulate and demonstrate the mixing performance of the Hyperbolic Mixer.
With its proven performance and advanced design, it meets the needs of modern water and wastewater treatment while supporting sustainable operations. The Hyperbolic Mixer is the ideal choice for facilities looking to enhance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.

Applications
Real-world examples
Renison Tin Operation is the largest tin producer in Australia, one of the world’s largest and highest-grade tin mines and through the Metals X equity interest, one of the few publicly held tin projects in the world. Their ore leaching plant incorporates several thickeners where ore-liquid slurry is densified to a slurry containing most of the solids, and an overflow of essentially clear water. Each of the 20 ft diameter thickeners is fitted with an internal rake that is turned and lifted by an electro-mechanical drive mounted on a bridge that spans the thickener tank. The old Eimco Process Equipment W36 drives with power lift installed on the thickeners had become unserviceable, which directly impacted mine production. Repairing the drives was possible but expensive and required extended plant down-time that would interrupt mining operations. The mine opted for complete brand-new DBS replacement drives that are direct bolt-in replacements for the existing Eimco drive units. The DBS replacement drives were found to be more economical than rebuilding the old drives and required less plant downtime to install. The mine installed DBS replacement drives for two leaching plant thickeners in 2020, and for another two thickeners in 2021.
