High torque top entering mixer
Ensure consistent high-torque mixing for various industrial applications with this robust top entry solution, designed to handle challenging fluid dynamics and maintain operational efficiency in complex production environments.

Mixes and Blends High-Torque Liquid and Slurry
The Lightnin 98 Series High Torque Top-Entry Mixer by SPX FLOW is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty mixing applications across diverse sectors like chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and food production. This mixer stands out with its parallel drive and double reduction design, offering significant installation flexibility in space-constrained environments. The unique gear isolation minimizes unwanted deflection, enhancing gear longevity and reliability by separating fluid forces from impacting the gearing mechanism.
Primarily serving industries such as oil and gas, dairy, and plant-based processing, this mixer efficiently blends and mixes liquids and slurries, producing consistent end-products like fruit juice concentrates and skincare creams. Its robust configuration supports continuous operations with ease, driven by available motor outputs ranging from 20 to 150 HP and rotational speeds between 20 and 100 RPM.
Equipped with an integral positive displacement pump, the Lightnin mixer ensures continuous lubrication without the need for additional motors, optimizing energy use with a compact drive design that reduces oil requirements. Constructed with carburized and ground helical gearing, it ensures quiet operation and extended operational life. For demanding environments, the mixer offers options in open tank, stuffing box, or mechanical seal configurations.
Compliance with AGMA standards underscores its robustness, while optional features like the seal cartridge allow for swift maintenance, boosting uptime. Available in various material grades, it addresses industry-specific corrosion resistance needs, making it a versatile choice for companies seeking reliability and performance in high-torque mixing solutions.
