Short description: Rotating disc with perpendicular blades around the circumference, usually used as a mixing impeller
The 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.[1] The design is based on a flat horizontal disk, with flat, vertically-mounted blades.[2] Recent innovations include the use of concave or semi-circular blades.[3]
