PharMix® Series 4000
Without question the best agitator in the industry. The result of decades of experience, development and refinement, this new 4000-series offers every feature and design element needed for the most demanding pharmaceutical and biotechnical mixing applications including bioreactors. From the 30µ-inch Ra polished right angle drive and pedestal to the unlimited shaft seal selection, this is the agitator of choice for mixing high volume, high value products. Consider these outstanding features:
- Vessel capacity range to 2,500L
- SMI inverter-duty drive motors
- All stainless construction-electropolished product surfaces, polished drive and pedestal
- Robust prop shafts with keyless, shrink disk torque transmission
- Impeller selections to meet any agitation requirement
- Single mechanical seals, single mechanical with sanitary gland and double mechanical seal options
- Low-profile, right-angle drives
- Space-saving Tri-clamp mounts
PharMix® D-Series
The PharMix® D-Series agitator is the right answer for small-scale pharma-bio mixing requirements in the R&D and pilot plant environment. In addition, its torque and high RPM capacity also makes this agitator well suited for a wide range of fermentor applications. This compact agitator combines all the industry-leading PharMix™ features in a unique direct-drive arrangement. The result is a mixer unparalled for performance, versatility and operating range. Take advantage of these features:
- Vessel capacity range to 150L
- All stainless construction-electropolished product surfaces, polished drive and pedestal
- Compact, space-saving design; 3”, 4”, and 6” Tri-clamp mounts
- Direct drive and direct inline planetary gear reduction available
- Robust prop shaft designs for extreme low level mixing; speeds to 850 RPM
- Impeller selections to meet any product requirement—including high shear
- Single mechanical seals, single mechanical with sanitary gland and double mechanical seal options
- All stainless steel drives - inverter duty motor, reduction gear and pedestal
- Versatile drive motor mounting configurations that include direct-drive, in-line parallel or right angle
- Product contact material is T316LSS (S31600/S31603) standard or available in any higher alloy such as Hastelloy®, Duplex or AL6XN®
- Unlimited impeller availability including classic turbines, foils, high shear and custom designs
- Mechanically polished finishes and final electro polishing available to match any product contact specification
- Wide range of hygienic shaft seals to meet any application -- single mechanical through double mechanical gas or liquid charged models
- Robust shaft designs that can run in free air for CIP and low level mixing; stabilizing rings are eliminated
- Advanced, patent pending in-vessel hygienic couplings available for use with extended shafts, large diameter impellers and maintenance accessibility
- Integrated agitation controls in NEMA 4X enclosures that can be on-board or remotely mounted
- Complete pre-validation documentation package provided with each unit including standard ”Certificates of Conformance” for metallic materials, seal faces (FDA) and elastomers (FDA & USP VI) - a PharMix® exclusive
