*! few inches up to around 3 ft depending on the manufacturer. The impellers are of cast construction, which reduces the cost but also obviates customizing of the impeller with-out incurring added cost. Propeller mixers can be installed on a vertical centerline, on an angle off the vertical, or through the sidewall of the process vessel. Centerline installation requires the use of baffles in the vessel. Side-entering designs offer the advantage of very ef-fective pumping for low horsepower and low initial cost in large vessels over 1000 gal. However, side-entering designs must have a seal that has to contend with side loads of the candlevered shaft. This has been a problem in some critical sanitary applications. However, if the batches are very large, a side-entering prop mixer may be a logical alternative to top-centerline-installed axial- and radial-flow turbines. The most often used installation configuration is the top-entering angled method. This method produces a good circulation pattern in the process mixing tank without the
