Rising to the mixing challenge
All mixing applications require varying degrees of both small-scale turbulence and bulk flow. With a good bulk flow, the contents of the
entire tank are put into motion so that all parts are involved in the mixing. The strength of the bulk flow is, in turn, dependent on the
total
amount of installed thrust and layout. Unparalleled expertise, broad mixing solutions
Xylem pioneered the use of thrust as the main performance parameter for mixing. And every day, we put more than 50 years of R&D
expertise and practical experience to work to determine the right technology, mixer size and layout for your requirements.
Our comprehensive portfolio of mixers and agitators cover virtually every requirement. Hundreds of thousands of Flygt mixers and
agitators are in service worldwide, delivering efficient mixing performance..
Low-speed mixing
When mixing and horizontal flow is essential for biological wastewater treatment processes, Flygt low-speed mixers deliver outstanding
cost-effective performance for applications that involve gentle mixing of large fluid volumes.
Engineered for more efficient bulk flow, lower energy consumption and positioning flexibility, these mixers offer highly efficient solutions
for
a wide range of mixing applications, such as:
For decades, Xylem has been at the cutting edge
of research and development to improve mixer
technology.
Flygt low-speed mixers
feature several
components that contribute to reliable operation
and reduced energy costs.
Energy-saving propeller
Our unique propeller design maximizes the amount
of thrust delivered while minimizing energy consumption.
Engineered for hydraulic excellence
with high-strength materials, our signature banana
blade large-diameter propellers with backswept
self-cleaning design provide non-clogging performance
that lasts and lasts.
Dependable Class H motor
Our squirrel-cage induction motor is carefully manufactured
at our own premises for durability and dependability.
Stator windings are
trickle impregnated
in resin and rated at Class H 180°C (355°F) to provide
excellent resistance to overheating and exceptionally
long service life.
Reliable shaft seals
A vital component for reliable operation, Flygt mechanical
shaft seals feature a unique design with
an intermediate barrier fluid.
Made of corrosionresistant
tungsten carbide (WCCR), our specially
manufactured seals provide exceptional mechanical
strength
and superior sliding properties. This results
in significantly less wear between the seal surfaces.
It also reduces the risk of leakage
and prolongs seal
service life.
Cable entry
Compressible bushing
and strain relief on
the
cable prevent leakage
into the motor.
Motor
High-performance,
squirrel-cage induction
class H-motor provides
thermal overload protection
and extra long
service life.
Protective coating
Durable, high-strength
top coating protects
cast-iron parts against
impact, chemicals
and
corrosion.
Monitoring
Thermal sensors embedded
in the stator
windings prevent overheating.
Leakage sensors
are available as
options.
Inner shaft seals
Shaft seals between
stator and gear box,
and between gear
box and seal housing.
Propeller
Thin-sectioned, double
curved blades
with a unique design
for maximum efficiency
and clog-free
operation.
Seal housing
Seal housing containing
barrier fluid, which
lubricates and cools
the seal and thereby
prolongs service life.
Outer shaft seal
Mechanical shaft seal
between surrounding
liquid and seal
housing has mechanical
locking device to
secure the seal position.
This makes the
seal reliable as well as
easy to assemble and
disassemble.
Gear box
Designed for years of
trouble-free operation.
The Flygt installation equipment is rigid enough to
withstand the
weight and reaction forces exerted
by the mixer throughout its operating life. It is also
robust and easy to work with.
Guide bar systems for any tank
To help withstand fatigue from strongly fluctuating
forces within the tank,
Flygt low-speed mixers
are installed along rigid guide bars at appropriate
depths for optimal mixing efficiency.
Used together
with our lifting
equipment, guide bar systems
enable easy access for inspection
and service.
Safe, convenient lifting equipment
Raising and lowering Flygt low-speed mixers with
our lifting equipment is
as easy and convenient as it
is safe. The CE-approved lifting davit is mounted in a
holder at its lower end which enables easy turning of
the davit. To reduce investment cost, one
davit can be used wfor several mixers.
