Rushton turbine
Introduction 8-bladed Rushton Disc Turbine used as an impeller in a baffled process vesselThe '''Rushton turbine''' or '''Rushton disc turbine''' is a radial flow impeller used for many mixing applications (commonly for gas dispersion applications) in process engineering and was invented by John Henry Rushton. The design is based on a flat horizontal disk, with flat, vertically-mounted blades. Recent innovations include the use of concave or semi-circular blades.
