Side entry gear drive mixers

Our side-entry agitators mount quickly and easily to tank flanges and provide the most effective mixing in an extremely efficient unit. Our innovative small diameter impellers reduce energy consumption and are easy to install. They are gear driven and meet AGMA and ASTM standards.

In addition, we can use numerical fluid flow simulations (CFD) to ensure proper agitation. This helps predict and predict tank mixing, with no dead zones and lower energy consumption compared to traditional solutions. We can also provide adjustable agitators to increase range.

The side-entry mixer concept is driven by four top priorities:  safety, reliability, process optimization and easy, cost-effective maintenance.

• Large mixing volumes. The mixer is designed for tanks up to 200,000 m³ (1.3 MM barrels). The high liquid jet amplitude propelled by our impeller allows the moving of large volumes using less power.

• Easy installation and maintenance. This compact, side-entry mixer has been designed specifically to mount on the lateral flange of the tank and with lightweight, custom impellers, it can installed quickly and easily. Its exclusive seal shut off device allows for safe, fast and easy maintenance or replacement of the mechanical seal without emptying the tank.

• Low power consumption. Our innovative, proven SABRE impeller uses less energy to effectively mix the tank contents.
