A magnetic drive for large-scale bioreactors and more
This company has developed a new type of magnetic drive (photo), which it has applied in bioreactors with volumes up to 20,000 L. The comparative advantage of this drive over traditional magnetic drives is its relatively easy scalability of construction, convenient installation and maintenance. Its potential application is not only limited to bioreactors but also extends to mixing in other sterile processes. The principle of the drive is based on magnetic rotors mounted in mixers rotating around a stationary tube. Inside the tube are magnetic rotors with driving magnets, while on the outside of the tube, in the mixer, are mounted driven magnets. The rotational coupling of the mixer around the stationary tube is ensured with the help of SiC and ZrO2 bushings. Hall 12.0, Stand A4 — Bioreactors.net Ltd., Riga, Latvia
