Baffles are vertical plates mounted inside tank walls to prevent vortex formation, increase turbulence and improve mixing efficiency. In industrial mixing, this parameter should be reviewed along with tank geometry, impeller type, fluid properties and operating objective.
Common Applications
- Vortex prevention
- Improved turbulence
- Reduced swirling
- Better suspension
Typical Values / Notes
- 4 baffles
- Baffle width = T x 0.08 to 0.1
Selection Factors
Correct selection depends on the process objective and site conditions. For Baffle, Premix usually reviews these points before recommending equipment:
- Usually 4 baffles
- Width commonly tank diameter x 0.08 to 0.1
- Wall clearance
- Tank internals
Why It Matters In Plant Operation
Baffle affects process stability, chemical usage, equipment life and final output quality. A correctly selected solution helps reduce trial-and-error at site and supports more predictable daily operation.
