Turbine Type Agitator
Paramount Limited make agitator is suitable for thorough mixing. The agitator is provided with an impeller consisting of blades of enough area to give adequate agitation in the tank of given dimensions. The impeller is mounted on an overhung shaft. The shaft is fabricated out of the solid shaft and is driven by an electric motor, through a speed reducing gearbox. The gear can withstand high torque loads and even in extreme cases, there is no chance of gear breaking.
The drive is mounted on a mild steel fabricated base frame. The electric motor is coupled with gearbox by flexible cast iron (love-joy) coupling. The agitator is also coupled with gearbox through a cast iron rigid coupling.
The impeller creates a flow pattern in the system, causing the liquid to circulate through the tank and return eventually to the impeller.
The following types of impellers are made.
