Top-Entry Mixers
AHM Group
Versatile Designs for Complex Applications
The advantage of top entry mixers lies in their adaptability to demanding process requirements. Chemical processors and water treatment facilities use these units for blending, solids suspension and applications involving a range of viscosities. Materials of construction can be selected for chemical compatibility, while food and beverage applications may require wetted materials and finishes suited to the customer’s cleaning and process requirements. Agitation Resources evaluates the impeller type, impeller to tank diameter ratio, off bottom clearance, shaft length, rotational speed and baffle arrangement for the application. This approach allows the mixer to be configured for the required flow and shear profile. Fractional horsepower AHM mixers can also use engineered plate mounting for permanent installations requiring consistent shaft positioning and alignment.
Application Specific Engineering for Durability
Reliable operation depends on selecting the drive, shaft, bearings, mounting arrangement and impeller for the specified duty. The design considers the loads imposed by the overhung impeller assembly, shaft length and speed, vessel geometry, fluid forces and expected operating cycle. Bearing assemblies are selected for a calculated L10 life based on the specified loads and duty cycle. Agitation Resources engineers and manufactures top entry mixers in Upstate South Carolina for long term industrial service.
Send the vessel dimensions, fluid properties and mixing objective and our engineers will size an AHM mixer for the application.
Our Top-Entry Mixers: AHM Group
The AHM Group covers atmospheric top-entry mixers for tanks and vessels. The drive, shaft, impeller and mounting arrangement are selected from the process duty and the tank data. Small and fractional horsepower units are supplied plate mounted. Send the vessel dimensions, fluid properties and mixing objective for a sizing review.
