Counter-rotating agitator for high viscosity products
Managing the agitation and mixing of high viscosity products poses significant challenges in maintaining consistency, temperature, and homogeneity. Processes involving complex fluid behaviors require specialized agitators to ensure effective mixing and heat transfer, preventing product degradation.
Optimize mixing and heat transfer for viscous products
The MCR Counter-rotating Agitator by INOXPA is designed to handle the mixing and homogenization of medium to high viscosity products. It features two coaxial shafts with independent geared motors rotating in opposite directions. The central shaft operates at higher speeds with propellers for dispersing low-viscosity phases, while the outer shaft, equipped with an anchor and scrapers, removes product from tank walls and acts as a deflector for the central propellers. This configuration ensures efficient heat transfer and prevents overheating. It is particularly suitable for processes with variable viscosity, featuring a variable frequency drive for adjustable rotation speeds. Compliant with EHEDG guidelines, it supports CIP and SIP processes, and is configurable with various options including surface finishes and ATEX certification.
Benefits
- Enhanced consistency and homogeneity in mixing
