Light duty side entry agitators and mixers are the best fit for applications like keeping dairy products homogenous, vegetable oil or juice storage, waste water treatment.
These applications are characterized by:
- Direct driven
- Fluids which are easily mixed or kept homogeneous
- Small tank volumes up to approx. 500 m3
- Low viscous fluids
- Tanks with low pressure
| Light Duty Side Entry | |

| Coatings | C3, C4, C5 of C5M |
| Surface wetted parts | Ground until Ra < 0,4 µm, handpolished till <0,2 μm or electropolished, rubber lined, PTFE or HALAR |
| Explosion proof (ATEX) | Ex zone 0, 1 or 2 for gas, 21 or 22 for dust or Non-Ex version |
| Accessories | V-belt or gear driven (all brands), all kinds of sealing systems, sterile versions, adapted flanges to vessel |
Medium Duty Side Entry Agitators
Types: JRWM
Medium duty side entry agitators and mixers are suitable for applications like vegetable oil storage, bio digesters, blending (petro)chemical.
Medium duty side entry agitators and mixers have the following characteristics:
- Mixing applications where higher forces are required
- Larger tank volumes
- Fluids with higher viscosity up to approx. 5000 cP
- Tanks with higher pressure (max. 4 bar g)
- Integrated manual leak stop if required
| Medium Duty Side Entry | |
|---|---|
| Motor power | 3 kW - 22 kW |
| Materials | Stainless Steel 304, 316 L, Carbon Steel, Duplex (Super), Hastelloy C4 or C2000, Titanium Grade 2 or 7 |
| Coatings | C3, C4, C5 of C5M |
| Surface wetted parts | Ground until Ra < 0,4 µm, handpolished till <0,2 μm or electropolished, rubber lined, PTFE or HALAR |
| Explosion proof (ATEX) | Ex zone 0, 1 or 2 for gas, 21 or 22 for dust or Non-Ex version |
| Accessories | V-belt or gear driven (all brands), all kinds of sealing systems, sterile versions, adapted flanges to vessel |
Heavy Duty Side Entry Agitators
Types: RWM
Blending (petro)chemical products, paper & pulp are examples of heavy duty applications where side entry agitators and mixers are selected.
Characteristics for heavy duty agitators and mixers are:
- Mixing applications where extremely high forces are required
- Very large tank volumes (multiple mixers in one tank possible)
- Fluids are highly viscous exceeding even 75.000 cP
- Pressure tanks exceeding even 5 bar
- Temperatures exceeding 250 °C
| Heavy Duty Side Entry | |
|---|---|
| Motor power | 11 kW – 55 kW |
| Materials | Stainless Steel 304, 316 L, Carbon Steel, Duplex (Super), Hastelloy C4 or C2000, Titanium Grade 2 or 7 |
| Coatings | C3, C4, C5 of C5M |
| Surface wetted parts | Ground until Ra < 0,4 µm, handpolished till <0,2 μm or electropolished, rubber lined, PTFE or HALAR |
| Explosion proof (ATEX) | Ex zone 0, 1 or 2 for gas, 21 or 22 for dust or Non-Ex version |
| Accessories | V-belt or gear driven (all brands), all kinds of sealing systems, sterile versions, adapted flanges to vessel |

Fermentation & Bioreactor Mixing Process
Bioreactors and Fermenters are culture systems to produce cells or organisms. They are used in various applications, including basic research and development, and the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, food and food additives, chemicals, and other products. A broad range of cell types and organisms can be cultivated in bioreactors and Fermenters, including cells (like mammalian cell lines, insect cells, and stem cells), microorganisms (like bacteria, yeasts, and fungi), as well as plant cells and algae. The words “Bioreactor” and “Fermenter” are basically the same thing.
