Agitation Resources

Pressurized Tank Mixers

ASM Group

Pressurized tank mixers are essential for industrial facilities operating under challenging non-atmospheric conditions. These heavy-duty agitators are explicitly designed to maintain mechanical integrity when functioning inside sealed environments that involve intense pressure or vacuum containment. By combining robust engineering with powerful drive mechanisms, these units handle highly demanding process environments safely and efficiently. Facilities depend on these specialized mixers to safely manage volatile chemical reactions, solvent blending, and food processing applications performed under vacuum. Integrating advanced pressurized tank mixers ensures that complex industrial mixing processes remain consistent without compromising the safety of the containment vessel.

Advanced Sealing Technology for Process Containment

The defining characteristic of pressurized tank mixers is their reliance on sophisticated vessel sealing mechanisms to prevent hazardous process leaks. Engineers carefully match the specific sealing option to the exact pressure dynamics and vacuum requirements of the manufacturing process. Low-pressure applications often utilize cost-effective lip seals, while moderate pressure operations depend on split mechanical seals or reinforced stuffing boxes for continuous reliability. Extreme environments requiring full-vacuum or high-pressure containment utilize heavy-duty single or double cartridge mechanical seals sourced from trusted industry manufacturers. These expertly integrated sealing systems ensure absolute process containment while allowing the agitator to perform efficiently under intense internal tank stresses.

Engineered Configurations for Demanding Environments

Every facility requires adaptable equipment, which is why pressurized tank mixers are available in multiple highly configurable designs. These industrial units can support powerful motors up to two hundred horsepower and feature pedestal-mounted designs that provide exceptional clearance for routine service and seal replacement. Plant operators can choose between direct-drive or gear-reduced configurations depending on their specific torque requirements and fluid viscosity profiles. Internal components include high-efficiency gear reducers and premium bearings engineered for an exceptionally long operational lifespan. The ability to equip these mixers with customized hydrofoils or pitched-blade turbines makes them the perfect solution for specialty chemical blending and advanced vacuum reactors.

Our Pressurized Tank Mixers - ASM Group

ASM Group non-atmospheric industrial agitator with flange mounted drive and sealing options for pressurized or vacuum vessels

Our ASM Group includes a range of heavy-duty, non-atmospheric agitators designed for sealed or pressurized mixing applications. These units share the same core design as the AHM Group but are specifically configured for systems requiring vacuum or pressure containment. Each mixer is built for demanding process environments, combining reliability, performance, and mechanical integrity.

Vessel Sealing

Based on process requirements, Agitation Resources offers three primary sealing options for the ASM Group:

  • Lip seals for low-pressure applications.

  • Split mechanical seals or stuffing boxes for moderate pressure or vacuum.

  • Single or double cartridge mechanical seals for high-pressure or full-vacuum applications.

All seals are supplied by trusted manufacturers and selected to match process conditions. Mechanical seal materials are chosen for compatibility with service requirements, and Agitation Resources accommodates customer preferences for specific seal brands whenever possible. Each mixer is pedestal-mounted to provide adequate clearance for service, inspection, and seal replacement.
