A lube oil manufacturer in Brazil faced long blending times, taking approximately 8 hours to mix lube oil with proprietary additives using mechanical mixers. This prolonged process limited production capacity and operational efficiency.
Using AccuBlend Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) A Jacoby-Tarbox® Program™, it was demonstrated that Tank Liquid Agitators (TLAs) offered a more efficient mixing solution. The analysis revealed that in-tank eductors could achieve the same blending quality in significantly less time by enhancing fluid motion and uniformity within the tanks.
A trial implementation of TLAs validated the findings, reducing blending time to under 1 hour. This dramatic improvement allowed the manufacturer to increase capacity and streamline operations with minimal investment. Encouraged by the trial’s success, the manufacturer promptly upgraded the entire facility to the TLA eductors, ensuring long-term gains in productivity and cost-efficiency.
