Side-Entry Agitator User Manual

Basic Principles and Features

The TD belt-type/gear-type side mixer extends into the tank from the tank sidewall and connects to the tank opening flange via a mounting base plate.

The mixer impeller features either a three-wide-blade integral propeller design, a three-blade propeller-type agitator, or a three-narrow-blade propeller design, all classified as high-efficiency axial flow mixers. Characterized by high circulation capacity, low power consumption, and moderate shear force, these mixers offer extensive application versatility.

The installation angle of belt-driven/gear-driven side-entry agitators is fixed: the axial flow direction of the blades is deflected 7° (or 10°) to the left of the tank bottom centerline and tilted downward by 10°. This generates equal vertical and horizontal flow within the vessel (see Figure 1). Simultaneously, axial movement is impeded by the tank wall, causing the liquid to circulate along the tank wall in a circular motion. This achieves excellent homogenization of the liquid within the tank and prevents sedimentation of materials, offering a high cost-performance ratio.

The TD-type/gear-type side agitator is primarily used for low-viscosity mixing, dissolving, suspending, crystallizing, reacting, heat transfer, diluting, blending, and similar processes.

Note: After installing the agitator, conduct a load test run with water and material. The liquid level must be higher than the mechanical seal end of the side agitator. Rotate clockwise.
