DICKINSON, N.D., Feb. 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The new GridBee® GS AP air-powered mixer from Medora Corporation easily and affordably mixes potable water tanks up to 200 feet tall and reservoirs of all sizes. Air-powered mixing simplifies operation because, without moving parts in the tank such as a motor, there is no need to climb or enter the tank for repair or replacement. Like Medora's electric-powered and solar-powered mixers, the air-powered mixer thoroughly mixes the entire tank volume from tank floor to water surface for consistent disinfectant residuals, even temperature profiles and uniform water age. "The air-powered model gives utility managers and operators even more flexibility in choosing how to mix their tanks," said Joel Bleth, president, Medora Corporation. "The mixer is engineered for easy installation; everything you need is in the box." The air-powered mixer easily installs through a 12-inch or larger hatch or tank opening. Components in the tank have a 25-year life expectancy. Optional SCADA and time controls provide real-time feedback on tank mixing. The low-noise, ground-level compressor is available in ½-HP or 1 HP, and includes a 5-micron air filter. It operates on standard 120VAC power. A cold-climate air hose is optional. The mixer is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 and NSF/ANSI Standard 372.
