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

RWM mixers
Jongia’s mixer type RWM is a side entry mixer that is suitable for heavy duty operation. A few specifications of the RWM side entry mixer:
The mixer shaft has a separate bearing.
The shaft is coupled to the drive by means of a belt type transmission.
The mixer is equipped with an outside single or double mechanical seal.
An optional design allows the exchange of seals while the tank is completely filled. In this configuration it is especially suitable in large storage tanks. Besides, a heavy petrochemical industry construction in accordance with API (American Petroleum Institute) is available.

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.
