Heavy-duty mixers are designed for long service life
The Lightnin Series 80 Medium Top-Entering Mixer is designed for a broad range of applications. It is available with motor pedestals up to 30 kW (40 hp) to ensure motor alignment. Exclusive hollow-quill drive (which is a torsionally resilient coupling that transmits power from the quill to the mixer shaft) isolates the gear train from severe shaft flexure, says the company. The mixer’s mechanical seals feature a cartridge design that allows for easy replacement. They cover the range of 1 to 200 hp (0.75 to 150 kW), with speeds from 9 to 280 rpm, and are recommended for processes with relatively high fluid forces on the impellers and long impeller shaft applications, says the manufacturer. — SPX Flow Technology, Rochester, N.Y.
