	POSITIONING/MOUNTING Successful liquids mixing is a result of utilizing a correctly specified mixer plus the proper application of the mixer with the vessel. Mixers may be mounted by a variety of means. Many applications can be effectively mixed without tank baffles. To do this the mixer must be properly offset to position the shaft and impeller(s) to create top to bottom mixing without swirl. To achieve optimum mixing, the location of the impellers should generally be as illustrated. Centering, or locating incorrectly may produce a swirling effect and most likely a vortex. Except when wetting out powders, vorexing should usually be avoided. Baffled tanks should have their mixers mounted on center with the shaft in a vertical position.
