Torque is the rotational twisting force required to turn the agitator shaft and impeller. In industrial mixing, this parameter should be reviewed along with tank geometry, impeller type, fluid properties and operating objective.
Common Applications
- Gearbox sizing
- Shaft design
- High viscosity mixing
- Startup load checking
Selection Factors
Correct selection depends on the process objective and site conditions. For Torque, Premix usually reviews these points before recommending equipment:
- Power
- RPM
- Viscosity
- Impeller load
Why It Matters In Plant Operation
Torque 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.
