This paper presents a comparison of the blending efficiency of eight high-speed rotary impellers in a fully baffled cylindrical vessel under the turbulent flow regime of agitated charge. Results of carried out experiments (blending time and impeller power input) confirm that the down pumping axial flow impellers exhibit better blending efficiency than the high-speed rotary impellers with prevailing radial discharge flow. It follows from presented remsults that, especially for large scale industrial mrealisations, the axial flow impellers with profiled blades bring maximum energy savings in mcomparison with the standard impellers with inclined flat blades (pitched blade impellers).
