Medium torque top entering mixer for complex mixing tasks

Optimize your production line with a versatile mixing solution designed for seamless integration, ensuring efficient blending and mixing in various high-demand environments, from chemical processes to food production.

Mixes and Blends Liquids and Slurries

The 500/600 Series Medium Torque Top Entry Mixer from Lightnin is engineered for versatility and durability, offering robust mixing and blending capabilities for a range of industrial applications. Designed with a straightforward working principle, it uses a direct-drive system with case-hardened gears, enabling continuous operation for effective mixing of liquids and slurries across processes such as chemical synthesis and food processing. This mixer is particularly suited for producing carbonated soft drinks, synthetic chemicals, and skincare creams.

With a throughput capacity accommodating various viscosities, the 500/600 Series supports operations at speeds from 23 to 190 rpm and horsepowers ranging from 1 to 125. It integrates seamlessly into your production line, being adaptable with both NEMA and IEC motors, and features multiple impeller options to optimize mixing efficiency. Its design reduces energy consumption due to efficient impeller performance and ensures zero oil leakage with its innovative dry-well construction.

Crafted from ductile iron castings, the mixer is corrosion-resistant and suitable for high-pressure environments, with available seal options covering diverse temperature requirements. Users benefit from simplified maintenance with interchangeable mechanical seals and a modular design. With compliance to ISO 9001 standards, it ensures reliable performance and a guarantee of process quality, supported by Lightnin’s engineering expertise for tailored configurations to suit specific production needs.
