KCXZ Sanitary Bottom-Mounted Magnetic Agitator

Paddle agitators consist of two flat paddle-shaped impeller blades extending to reach the tank walls. They are used if no extensive axial and radial flow is required. These impellers can produce a laminar low shear flow and are used for low viscosity liquid mixing, crystallization, dissolution, and heat transfer. They are typically operated at low speeds and predominantly give a tangential flow pattern. Secondary blades can be installed on the paddle blades to enhance the mixing of more viscous materials.The impeller blades are inclined from the plane of rotation to create an axial flow pattern. This variation of paddle agitator is typically used for homogenizing suspensions.

Paddle Agitator Mixers generally used for large scale equipment, such as polymerization tank, PVC reactor, saccharifying tank, gelatinization reactor etc. The stirring device is installed at the bottom of cylinder or tank equipment , the mixer shaft is shortened and there is no coupling between mixer shaft and transmission shafts, which improve the stability of shaft. At the same time, the stress state of head of the tank is improved, and the installation requirements are also reduced. Paddle Agitator Mixer is also beneficial for mixing of materials in the bottom, which can get full mixing of all material.Paddle Agitator Mixers are good choices for outputs from bottom of tank , which can make the discharge port mixing well.  Bottom entry agitator are designed to fit into the bottom or side of a mixing vessel. These high shear Paddle Agitator Mixers are typically used in conjunction with a slow speed anchor stirrer or scraper unit for high viscosity products.

KEAN’s KCXZ series of Paddle Agitator Mixers are designed to fit into the bottom or side of a mixing vessel. These high shear mixers are typically used in conjunction with a slow speed anchor stirrer or scraper unit for high viscosity products. The KCXZ Paddle Bottom Entry mixer gives high shear homogenization while the stirrer/scraper distributes the homogenized output uniformly through the vessel. Paddle Agitator Mixer is ideal for high viscosity cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food products.

KEAN top-entry and bottom-entry agitators are custom-made and perfectly attuned to meet the specific characteristics of complex processes in extreme conditions.Paddle Agitator Mixers can also be used by themselves on low viscosity products and to wet out powders. KEAN Bottom Entry mixers offer full compliance with cGMP and USDA requirements.

Typical Applications:

Storage tank mixing

Fermentation and Bioreactors

Low shear blending

Food and beverage

High Shear bottom entry mixing

Paddle Agitator Mixer and Agitators are available for industrial and cGMP sanitary mixing and blending applications. KEAN offers standard high shear mixers which are bottom mounted to the tank via flange or TC sanitary connection. Low shear bottom agitators are also available for slow speed bulk blending. We offer a variety of mechanical seal designs, from packing, to single product lubricated seals, double liquid flush seals, and sanitary sterile seals with USP VI elastomers and seal faces.

Using high speed to mix liquids, it is suitable for mixing device of liquid reaction tank in sterile preparation, food and beverage, chemical, biological engineering and other industries which are not sensitive to shear force.
