ABSTRACT
This paper examines the design of mixers for the chemical and biochemical industry. Depending on
the mixing phases mixers possess different construction features. The design of mixers includes
technological and strength calculations of these sets, able to create stable emulsions and suspensions
used as raw materials in a number of productions or as finished products intended for consumers.
The calculation and sizing of these facilities are made by means of specific algorithms, which are
carried out in peer-reviewed software products. The use of such software helps facilitate most
calculations for various types of mixers: a liquid-liquid, solid-liquid and liquid-gas.
Key words: Mixers, design, chemical and biochemical industry.
