PILOT D60 MAGNETIC MIXER ASSEMBLIES
The go-to solution for pilot-scale applications (till 1000 L working volumes). The D60 series magnetic mixers throughout the years gained increased interest for their unique ability of providing high mass transfer rates in pilot-scale vessels, which raises them above other alternatives. In the proposed design, a gap between the outer rotors and the hermetic containment housing is maintained in order to avoid grinding between rotating and static elements. Simultaneously, two concentric lines of suction slots were machined into the body of the outer rotor. The upper layer slots guide the liquid in such a way, so that the movement on the boundary layer during rotation would be directed towards the gap between the containment housing and outer rotor. In the vicinity of the lower suction slot layer the flow direction is opposite that of the upper layer, so that liquid would move from the air gap to the outside environment.
Such design aspects, considering the suction slots, were envisioned, in order to avoid flow stagnation in the air gap between the outer rotor and the containment housing, which is crucial during both microorganism cultivation/fermentation processes and CIP procedures.
PILOT/INDUSTRIAL D100 MAGNETIC MIXER ASSEMBLIES
An ideal solution for transitional applications (from pilot to industrial scale). The D101 series mixers have proved themselves suitable even for 20 m3 working volume tanks. In the proposed design, a gap between the outer rotors and the hermetic containment housing is maintained in order to avoid grinding between rotating and static elements. Simultaneously, two concentric lines of suction slots were machined into the body of the outer rotor. The upper layer slots guide the liquid in such a way, so that the movement on the boundary layer during rotation would be directed towards the gap between the containment housing and outer rotor. In the vicinity of the lower suction slot layer the flow direction is opposite that of the upper layer, so that liquid would move from the air gap to the outside environment. Such design aspects, considering the suction slots, were envisioned, in order to avoid flow stagnation in the air gap between the outer rotor and the containment housing, which is crucial during both microorganism cultivation/fermentation processes and CIP procedures.

INDUSTRIAL D156 MAGNETIC MIXER ASSEMBLIES
The ultimate powerhouse of magnetic mixing. The D156 series magnetic mixers are the most powerful solution for industrial-scale applications. With a whopping rated torque of 1100 N.m per individual rotor, the D156 series mixers can be applied in vessels till 50 m3 working volumes. In the proposed design, a gap between the outer rotors and the hermetic containment housing is maintained in order to avoid grinding between rotating and static elements. Simultaneously, two concentric lines of suction slots were machined into the body of the outer rotor. The upper layer slots guide the liquid in such a way so that the movement on the boundary layer during rotation would be directed towards the gap between the containment housing and outer rotor. In the vicinity of the lower suction slot layer, the flow direction is opposite that of the upper layer, so that liquid would move from the air gap to the outside environment.
