Rotating-shaft stirrer makes maintenance easier

 

Agitateur tourelle pivotante Ensuring that there is an effective seal between the air we breathe and the atmosphere of a tank in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and nuclear industries is crucial to the correct operation of the process and the protection of the environment. That is why AGITEC designs stirring processes which integrate the most advanced sealing systems in collaboration with the biggest names in mechanical seals. The stirring system proposed by AGITEC combines the effectiveness of complex sealing with an innovative process which minimises handling when removing the seal chamber and saves precious time during mechanical seal maintenance.

In addition to the lateral extraction shafts, which are perfectly tailored to the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, the rotating-shaft stirrer allows mechanical seal cartridges to be rapidly extracted and exchanged.

Their ultra-compact design makes the stirrer easy to install meaning that the limited space at the top of the tank is no longer an issue.

Due to this easier maintenance, AGITEC can position itself in a market of large stirrers which are difficult to access. Its pivot system of a gear motor on an off-centre axis means that the upper part of the shaft can be removed to leave space to remove the mechanical seal chamber either manually or using a winch placed on the stirrer's axle.

The safety of these made-to-measure devices, which are tailored to the customer’s needs, is significantly improved or fully ensured without additional cost.

The rotating-shaft stirrers have all the advantages of lateral-extraction stirrers with the added bonus of being compact.
