Mixing systems - Agitator drive units AR5 series

 


    FIELD OF APPLICATIONS

 

The new AR5 top entry agitator drive units have been designed, as a standard, for installation on glass-lined pressure reactors, of nominal capacity ranging from 63 to 40,000 litres, constructed to DIN standard 28136.
The series AR5 drives can be installed also on unlined or special reactors with stuffing box or mechanical seal.

 

   CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES 

 

  • Compact, rugged construction, ease of installation and operation
  • Fitted with safety guards, in accordance with the European regulations in force, as standar (others can be provided for).
  • Excellent accessibility to all adjustment and control devices.
  • Mechanical seal that can be replaced without entering the vessel nor having to remove any
    component of the drive unit (for AR5-80 units or larger only).
  • Audible noise level, excluding the electric motor, 70 to 80 dB(A) depending on the drive size.

 


   MANUFACTURED ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC DIN STANDARDS

 

  • for reactors
  • for gearbox

 

 

It is thus possible to ensure the interchangeability of each individual component. This includes
the reduction gear, which can be easily dismantled for maintenance or for possible
replacement by any standard reduction gear available on the market.

The agitator shaft rotates in two bearings which support the agitator and withstand the thrusts
caused by pressure and the mixing action. 

The output shaft of the reduction gear is connected to the agitator in such a way that no load
can be transmitted to it by the agitator, and consequently its only function is to transmit
torque.

 

   THE ADVANTAGES ARE:

 

  • uniform, regular operating conditions for the reduction gear with a consequent longer life
  •  quieter running.
