Abstract

A static mixer is disclosed comprising a mixer insert and an enclosing housing having a central axis. The insert includes at least three interleaved grids and each of the grids includes a plurality of layers that are superposed parallel one to the others. Each of the layers includes a plurality of bars that are mutually parallel one to the others. There is an angle of 30 to 60 degrees between each of the bars and the axis.
