Light duty top entry agitators and mixers are the best fit for applications like cosmetics production, storage of dairy products, ice cream ageing, fragrances and flavourings.
These applications are characterized by:
• Fluids which are easily mixed or kept homogeneous
• Small tank volumes
• Viscosities up to approx. 1000 cP
• Tanks with low pressure (max.10 bar g)
• Temperature -20 °C to 150 °C
The FTD type mixer is a series of small mixers varying in shaft diameter from 25 mm to 50 mm. This type of mixer is more or less a standard design, however can be customized with a variety of motor brands, with or without coaxial gearbox. This type of mixer is specially designed for the higher operational speeds (>250 rpm) and can be delivered up to a shaft length of 3000 mm. The shafts are supported by two spherical roller bearings, which are lifetime lubricated (L10> 40.000 hrs) and coupled to the motor or gearbox through a flexible coupling.
This design of mixer which operates at speeds above 250 rpm is very suitable for mixing of different liquids, dissolving of solids in liquid, dispersion and emulsifying duties.
