LR/LM Bottom Side Entry Agitator
The Bottom Side Entry Agitator – LR/LM are adapted to the tanks with an angle from the side. They are used in sectors such as food, cosmetics and chemistry. They have a reinforced bearing. Different propeller options are available according to the application process. All surfaces in contact with the product are made of A316 stainless steel and are electropolished. It can be mixed in the viscosity range of 1-1000 cps.
LR/LM Bottom Side Entry Agitator Application
The bottom side entry agitators are used in process and storage tanks in the applications of the food-processing industry. The main application is agitation of low viscosity products like wine, oil, milk, beer, alcohol, etc. in large volume tanks.
Bottom Side Entry Agitator – LR/LM Operating Principle
The LR agitators are driven by geared motors and the LM agitators are provided with direct motors.
These agitators are installed in a slanted position. The rotation of the propeller creates a flow that impells the product to the bottom of the tank and then raises up to the surface along the wall opposite to the agitator. The effect is promoted if the bottom is rounded.
The agitator is installed decentralized to enhance the circular flow. Thus,
