How Milton Roy Side-Entry Mixers Stop Sanding-In at the Source
Milton Roy Mixing’s Side-Entry Mixers are engineered to keep BS&W fully suspended, ensuring a homogeneous tank and eliminating the conditions that cause Sanding-In.
Engineered for Crude Oil Tanks
Mounted directly on the tank’s side nozzle, our side-entry agitators offer:
- Minimal vibration
- Fewer moving parts
- Longer mechanical seal life
- Easy, fast maintenance
While running, the impeller generates the ideal fluid velocity distribution to sweep the tank bottom and prevent sediment from settling.
High-Efficiency SABRE™ Impeller
Our proprietary SABRE 4‑blade impeller delivers the industry’s highest flow at the lowest horsepower, providing 15–20% energy savings compared with conventional mixers — all while maximizing suspension efficiency.
The SABRE™ impeller generates powerful, long‑distance flow that keeps solids suspended and uniformly distributed throughout the tank, eliminating the formation of sludge layers. By stopping water from settling at the bottom, the mixer maintains a controlled emulsion that supports more predictable dehydration and reduces residual waste.
This consistent mixing minimizes dead zones and allows operators to fully utilize the tank’s nominal capacity while significantly decreasing manual cleaning, unplanned shutdowns, and maintenance costs associated with BS&W accumulation.
