UK-based Chemineer has developed a range of high quality, all-stainless steel mixers, which have several key benefits in sterile environments.
Capable of enhancing the quality and efficiency of production for products in which the active ingredients must be suspended in solvents, the new SSP (Stainless Steel Portable) is suitable for open tank applications. A number of mounting options are offered, including angle risers or flat-plate mounts.
For closed tanks, Chemineer has also introduced the SSNC mixer (Stainless Steel Mechanical Cartridge), which can be mounted using tri-clover flanges, ASNI-rated flanges or DIN flanges as standard.
All drives incorporate a fully-sealed washdown motor, with the closed-tank application SSNC mixer benefiting from PTFE gasket seals on all joints. The seal housing on both mixers is specially designed with curved surfaces and no crevices, so that, for example, water from steamcleaning runs off very easily.
The shaft mechanical seals are selected to suit the process and can be dry-running or fully lubricated. On the mechanical seal there are options for a steam purge or particle catcher to prevent ingress to the tank's products.
