Agitators

Top Entry Open Tank Mixers

The Mixtec 1000 series is a versatile, medium-duty range of Mixers and Agitators that consist of a Motor, Gearbox, and Baseplate and is used for open tank applications and require base-plate mounting.

The 1000 Series can be used for any open tank application with various mounting options available, including: Standard Flat Baseplate, Raised Baseplate (Often used in the water treatment industry) and Angle Riser (Mixer mounts at 10 Degrees)

The 1000 Series can be mounted in the tank center when used with tank baffles, off-centre without baffles, in vessels with conical, dished or flat bottoms. During the quotation stage Mixtec issues a General Arrangement Drawing which includes the Live Loads the Mixer will exert, this will allow you to design a support structure capable of handling the loads produced. Mounting Structures need to be rigid and robustly designed to prevent any flexing or twisting caused by the Mixer, weak structures can lead to premature gearbox failure.

Closed Top Mixers and Agitators

Mixtec's 2000 Series Mixers and Agitators are designed to suit closed and sealed vessels. Different process requirements need different types of seals; Mixtec offers a wide range of sealing arrangements including Lip Seals, Packed Glands, Moat Seals and Mechanical seals as well as mag drive. Depending on the sealing requirements we will Custom design a pedestal incorporating your seal into an easy to maintain drive assembly.

Mixtec utilises the 2000 series when dealing with processes such as Autoclaves, Reactors, Sugar Pan Mixers, Heat Transfer Applications, Mass Transfer Applications, Bitumen Make-Up and many more.

Heavy Duty Mixers

Heavy Duty 4000 Series Agitators are built to tackle the larger tanks, mainly used in the mining industry. Tanks can often reach 20m in Diameter by 20m High, Mixtec welcomes the challenge, with shafts being manufactured over 21m long including 2 in-tank couplings we have been able to achieve a run out of only 3mm, well below the industry accepted average of 1mm per meter.

Some of our larger installations include Mixtec's HA720 hydrofoils, at almost 8m in diameter each blade on the impeller weighs over 1000kg and with our larger HA736 Impeller's blade exceeding 2500kg. Gear drives incorporating 355kW motors power these 40+ Tonne Agitators. Mixtec prides itself on excelling in providing large scale heavy duty mixers and agitators, more often than not in batches of between 6 and 16 at a time.

The most common 4000 series Agitators we supply are in the mining industry, mostly for Oxidation and leaching, CIL & CIP applications, but also for Neutralisation tanks, Cyanide Destruction, Surge & Buffer Tanks. Water treatment plants have also grown in scale and with it, the need for larger Mixers in the Anoxic and Anaerobic Zones, similarly with the growing need for Acid Mine Water neutralisation, the 4000 series fits comfortably in Water and Waste-water treatment plants worldwide.

Side Entry Mixers

Mixtec's 5000 Series consists of various ranges of side entry mixers, the 5050, 5000, and 5500.

The 5050 series is a Direct Drive side entry mixer for smaller simpler applications that do not require complicated sealing arrangements.

The 5000 Series mixers are simple pedestal mixers incorporating a shut-off device for easy seal maintenance, mounted horizontally with the seal arrangement of the customers choosing.
