Patent Granted An impeller (also written as impellor[1] or impellar) is a rotor used to increase (or decrease in case of turbines) the pressure and flow of a fluid. Impellers in agitated tanks are used to mix fluids or slurry in the tank. This can be used to combine materials in the form of solids, liquids and gas. Mixing the fluids in a tank is very important if there are gradients in conditions such as temperature or concentration.
