High torque top entering mixer
In industries like chemical processing or pharmaceuticals, achieving consistent mixing for high-viscosity fluids can be challenging. Top entering mixers with robust torque are essential for ensuring uniformity and preventing downtime due to equipment failure.
Mix high-viscosity fluids efficiently
The SPX Flow Lightnin 98 Series is a high torque top entering mixer designed for heavy-duty applications. Its unique design features, including a parallel shaft with a double reduction, enhance installation flexibility and reduce space requirements on top of the vessel. The mixer incorporates a series of design elements that isolate the gear drive from axial and bending loads, thereby reducing the risk of gear deflection and failure. The lower quill shaft bearing is free from external loading, and a fixed bearing located below the gear drive absorbs both radial and axial forces, optimizing seal life and minimizing mechanical stress. This mixer also includes an integral positive displacement pump for continuous lubrication, eliminating the need for a separate lubrication motor. Available power options range from 20 to 150 HP, with AGMA speeds from 20 to 100 RPM. The robust design and advanced features make it suitable for applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, and other heavy industries.
