Heavy Duty Agitators

Heavy Duty Agitators are designed for large volume Vessels which are reliable for most demanding heavy industrial applications, from pharmaceutical fermentation, hydrogenation, bio digesters, chemical reactors, resins, large-scale chemical processing to minerals processing and heavy sludge waste treatment.

 

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. These Heavy Duty Industrial mixer has a rigid torsion-free Bearing housing.

 

This robust construction and the precision of its running characteristics guarantee the durability of the shaft.

CFD in Mixing Technology
What is CFD ?

 

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) represents an approved approach within the realm of fluid mechanics. Its widespread application is evident in industries such as automotive, aircraft, process, and mixing.
  • The primary objective of CFD is to address fluid flow-related inquiries by leveraging numerical techniques. The governing equations typically revolve around principles like Navier-Stokes, Euler, or potential-based equations.

 

Flow Simulation at Verito

 

  • Verito leverages cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology, alongside laboratory experiments and field trials, to design, scale-up, enhance, or modernize agitators and mixing systems.
  • Verito’s engineers utilize CFD technology to gain an in-depth understanding of velocity distribution, flow patterns, areas with low velocity (referred to as dead zones, as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 & 3), as well as regions with both low and high shear rates within various mixing system configurations.
  • This enables the testing of multiple system setups and tank agitator designs to achieve optimal performance. Additionally, CFD technology aids Verito in fine-tuning impeller blade designs to strike a balance between power requirements and pumping capacity.
