What is Cavern Formation?
Cavern formation is a localized mixed zone around the impeller in highly viscous or yield-stress fluids while outer regions remain poorly mixed.

Cavern formation is a localized mixed zone around the impeller in highly viscous or yield-stress fluids while outer regions remain poorly mixed. In industrial mixing, this parameter should be reviewed along with tank geometry, impeller type, fluid properties and operating objective.
Common Applications
- Highly viscous fluids
- Yield stress fluids
- Gel phase mixing
- Sludge mixing
Selection Factors
Correct selection depends on the process objective and site conditions. For Cavern Formation, Premix usually reviews these points before recommending equipment:
- Power input
- Impeller diameter
- Fluid rheology
- Multiple impeller need
Why It Matters In Plant Operation
Cavern Formation 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.
