Agitators & Mixers
Welcome to MACWORX your one-stop-shop for high-quality agitation equipment. We offer a wide range of mixers including top entry open and closed tanks, side entry and portable direct drive mixers for your custom mixing requirements.
Top Entry Open Medium - Heavy Duty Agitators
A range of top entry mixers and agitators from medium to heavy duty open tank mixers. Mixtec ranges of agitators called 1000 for medium duty to 4000 series for the heavy duty applications. These agitators consist of motor, gearbox and base-plate mounting. Mounting structures need to be rigid and robustly designed to prevent any flexing and twisting caused by the mixer, weak structures can lead to premature gearbox failure.
The 1000 series is suitable for tanks that are too large for direct drives (Series 250) mixers, with a variety of mounting arrangements including standard flat base, raised base plate ( used for water treatment), and angle riser (10 degrees). These agitators can be mounted in a central tank arrangement with baffles or and off- centre without baffles. Mixtec designs on a range of tank vessel floors including conical, dished or flat bottoms.
Heavy duty 4000 agitators are built to handle the larger tanks, mainly in the mining industry. Tanks are often 80 feet in diameter and 80 feet high. Agitators with shafts over 70 feet long including 2 in tank couplings, with the achieved run out if only 1/8", well below the industry accepted average of 1/4" per 10 ft of shaft length.
Some of the larger installations include HA720 hydrofoils, at almost 26 feet in diameter each blade on the impeller weighs over 2200lb. With the larger HA736 impeller blades can exceed 5,500lb each with gear drive incorporating 450HP motors power these agitators can reach 45+ tons.
Mixtec prides itself on excelling in providing large scale heavy duty mixers. The most common 400 Series agitators are supplied into the mining industry, mostly CIL & CIP applications but also neutralization tanks, cyanide destruction, surge & buffer tanks. Other applications are very large wastewater treatment plants for anoxic and anaerobic zones and large acid mine water neutralization plants.
Top Entry Closed Tank Mixers
Mixtec's 2000 Series mixers and agitators are designed to suit closed and sealed vessels, different processes require different type of sealing arrangement, With a variety of seal arrangements including lip seals, packed glands, moat seal and mechanical seals, the base will be custom designed a pedestal incorporating the seal option.
Mixtec utilizes the 2000 series when working with processes such as autoclaves, sugar pan mixers, heat transferred applications, mass transfer appications, bitumen make-up and many more.
Direct Drive or Gear Driven Side Entry Mixers
The 5000 Series mixers are simple pedestal mixers incorporating a shut-off device for easy seal maintenance, mounted horizontally with the seal arrangement of the customers choosing. This shutoff device allows the drive and seal to be removed without draining the contents of the tank.
The 5050 series is a Direct Drive side entry mixer for smaller simpler applications that do not require complicated sealing arrangements.
These two series are our most common, with most applications typically under 40 HP.
Portable / Direct Drive Mixers
The Mixtec 250 Series portable range of mixers are direct driven from the motor for small scale mixing applications that do not require a great deal of mixing precision. Typical applications include 55 gallon drums and tote tanks where homogenization and high shear mixing are required.
Mountings for the 250 Series include: Baseplate, Angle Bracket, Angle Clamp, Angle Riser, Stool/Pedestal. These mixers are light and easy to move from tank to tank. Drum mixers utilize a "Bung Adapter" which enables it to screw directly into the drum's nozzle without a need for any additional mounting.
The 250 Series can also make use of the Mixtec Swing Wing impeller. This impeller folds down when stationary it to fit through a bung or other small opening, then unfolds when the mixer is started, allowing it to take its proper shape while mixing.
250 Series Mixers are recommended for Small Vessels less than 3.5' in diameter, however they are NOT recommended for products that will foam or are shear sensitive. Due to their high speed nature they exert a lot of shear which can damage certain products.
