TECHNICAL DATA

Engine
Engine size and speed vary according to the requirements of the work. IEC engine IP55 is used by standard; other types are optional.  It is RAL5010 painted as a standard.

Voltage and Frequency
3x380, 420V, 50Hz and 3x440V, 480V, 60Hz are the standards. All engine voltages and frequencies are available.

Threads
Various thread types are available according to the configuration. Normal synthetic or mineral oil is used as a standard. Optionally, oil approved for food applications, as a standard RAL5010 painted.

ATEX - option
Agitators can be supplied with a declaration of compliance with 94/9/EC directive for use in an ATEX environment.


PHYSICAL DATA 

Materials
List of materials coming into contact with the product:

Dimensions
Propeller standard diameter range:  ø125 mm  - 1900 mm. Specific sizes in drive unit and propeller(s) depends on actual configuration selected


Ordering:

The following information is required when order to ensure correct dimensions and configuration:

1- Tank geometry
2- Product specifications
3- Task of the agitator
4- Please request a demand form to choose the correct agitator.






Configurable Design
ALS type agitator design can be configured using the following specifications.

• Drive units (drive unit + shaft support + shaft diameter)
• Gasket installation (oil holder + shaft gasket type)
• Shaft (length)
• Energy Saving Propellers (propeller type + surface roughness)


Advantageous and Profitable Design
All configurations bring significant advantages with are given in the examples below:











 
  OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS

 
  ADVANTAGES


  Low energy consumption
 
  Propeller and drive units which ensure high  
  efficiency with minimum energy allow designing
  for low operating costs.


  Slow Product Processing
 
  Specially designed propellers allow designing
  for low-speed operation.






  HYGIENIC PROPERTIES


  ADVANTAGES


  Easy external cleaning

  Sealing Gaskets and stainless steel seat body
  design (for washing)



  Connections inside the tank  
  (contamination risk is eliminated) are
  canceled as an option.

  Flange connection drive shaft inside the tank
  and special shaft connection seat case and
  drive units

  Surface property that ensures easy flow

  It has flat surfaces in internal parts or there are
  no channels


  Easy Cleaning

  There are no parts that cannot be cleaned or
  remain in the shadow between the wings.





 
  MAINTENANCE PROPERTIES

  ADVANTAGES

  All Maintenance procedures
  (Replacing shaft gasket seats, and
  other corroded parts) can be done
  outside the tank.
  Removable Shaft and seat case drive units can
  be demounted outside the tank
