Heavy Duty Bottom Entry Agitators
Types: HDMB
Blending (petro)chemical, food or pharmaceutical products for instance in reactors are examples of heavy duty applications where bottom entry agitators and mixers are selected.
These applications are characterized by:
- Mixing applications where extremely high forces are required
- Very large tank volumes where a bottom bearing is not desirable
- Highly viscous fluids exceeding even 100.000 cP
- High pressure tanks exceeding even 100 bar g
- Temperatures exceeding even 250 °C

HDMB mixers
Jongia’s HDMB type industrial mixer is designed for heavy industrial applications. Its modular construction allows easy mounting of all kinds of shaft seals, whichever seal is required.
Radial and axial loads on the drive are completely absorbed by a separate double bearing section and the flexible coupling connecting the mixer shaft to the drive. The HDMB industrial mixer has a rigid torsion-free mixer housing. An optional spacer coupling in the mixer housing allows fast and simple seal replacement without removing drive or mixer shaft.This robust construction and the precision of its running characteristics guarantee the durability of the shaft seal.

Do I need a Bottom Bearing? The installation of a bottom bearing is not mandatory. While it offers certain advantages, there are also drawbacks to consider. It is important to note that the bottom bearing functions more as a displacement
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.
