It is usual to achieve flow through a mixer-settler plant by gravity fall or with interstage pumping (e.g. air lift, screw, or centrifugal pumping). The level mixer-settler plant is operated without the need for pumping by virtue of the fact that homogeneous mixing is maintained throughout the volume of the mixers. This is achieved by use of a double paddle mixer. one paddle - being above the mixer outlet port and one below. The paddle operates in such a way that the lower paddle tends to lift the heavier phase while the upper paddle tends to depress the lighter phase.
