AquaDDM®
Direct Drive Mixer
The AquaDDM® Mixer provides maximum wastewater mixing efficiency. When mixing requirements are the controlling factor, the AquaDDM mixer can reduce power costs, while delivering 3-4 times the mixing of any aerator of the same size. The ducted impeller improves pumping efficiency.
How It Works
The AquaDDM establishes a powerful down-flow mixing pattern that transports surface liquid downward and increases mass transfer. Flow entrainment and regenerative flow create high reactor turnover rates for efficient mixing.
Ideal Solution for Anoxic Mixing
The AquaDDM® is the ideal mixer for use in anoxic basins for denitrification and phosphorus reduction and provides unrivaled mixing and uniform top-to-bottom blending of the basin. Unlike horizontal mixers, side-entering mixers and submersible mixers, the AquaDDM® provides efficient intermixing of the basin contents – and does not employ any gear reducers, submerged bearings or submerged seals. The AquaDDM® will greatly reduce or eliminate short circuiting, and eliminate dead spots in the basin.

SAF-T Float® Technology
The SAF-T Float® Safe Accessible Float Technology is the result of customer feedback for a solution that provides service personnel with safer, easier and more accessible maintenance on Aqua-Jet® aerators and AquaDDM® mixers. This new technology encompasses two critical features: 1) a docking station each float that receives a set of lightweight, removal handrails and; 2) a non-skid coated surface onto the section of the float where the handrails attach, providing a safe grip for maintenance staff to stand on the float.
How It Works
Features & Specifications
- Removal Handrail Design
- Light Weight
- Non-skid Surface on Float
- Locking Pin Design
- Indexing Slot for Positive Engagement
- Retrofit Existing Units for Handrail Installation
Advantages
- Safe Access to Aerators and Mixers
- Provides Maximum Worker Safety
- Multi-Faceted, OSHA Compatible Security
- Non-Compromising Performance
- Easy Installation in Less than Five Minutes
