SCANPUMP SCABA agitators

System DA - Degree of Agitation

Application Know-how for Optimal Mixing

What is the aim of agitation? For Scanpump it is To attain the customers wanted process result by the most costeffective solution. Choosing and designing agitators is related to the process in which they will operate. Many factors affect the process and mechanical aspects of the design procedure. Important considerations are type of process, type of liquid, volume, the shape of the tank etc. In some applications the density, viscosity and solid content are the dominant factors. Our long experience, our knowledge of the processes and the ability to use this knowledge in our own design programme have given even more effective agitators for all kinds of mixing. The demand to acheive a perfect result is to get an optimal liquid motion for the specic process. Through research and theoretical calculations we have developed a correlation between the liquids surface velocity and what we call Degree of Agitation - DA. This and the choice of impeller is the foundation to decide the demand of the mixing for different processes.

Benets
Process guarantee: Desired mixing result obtained Cost effective: Minimum power needed Easy service: Designed for minimised downtime and maintenance Support: Our specialists will ensure best mixing result

Technical Features
High Flow Propellers: Better mixing, less vibrations, minimises forces and power consumption Sealing: Maintenance work without emptying the tank Modular system: Same Modular System for all agitators No bottom bearing: Minimises maintenance

Design Criteria
Depending on the medias involved, they can be classied into three groups: liquid/liquid, liquid/particles and liquid/gas. Other kinds of application are also available but not presented here.

Liquid / Liquid Miscible liquids

For the liquid/liquid processes the design criteria is a certain amount of Liquid Motion. The suitable impeller is the patented SCABA High ow Propeller type 3SHP. It revolutionised the market by its ability to lower the power need drastically. It suits both to side and top entry agitators. Further development of the original 3SHP1 has given 3SHP18 mainly used in low viscosity medias and 2SHPD for high viscosity.

Degree of suspension 1 2 3 Description Most particles off bottom All particles off bottom Full suspension Homogeneity ~ 30% ~ 50% ~ 90%

Liquid / Gas
Design criteria in these processes are Shear forces and Liquid Motion. The patented special turbine SRGT with its unique properties is the optimal impeller. This turbine disperses more gas before ooding which generates higher masstransfer. Furthermore, no power drop occurs when gased.

SCANPUMP SCABA TOP ENTERING AGITATORS.

The agitators are of a robust, modular design and can be combined with various types of drive units, seals and impellers. Due to this exibility, the agitators can be adapted optimally to the needs of the process.

Drive unit

The drive unit selected is determined by the pro- Power ratings: 0.12 kW - 250 kW cess requirements and the customers wishes. The agitator can be equipped with gears, paral- Electric Hydraulic lel shaft gears, bevel gears or V-belt drives. Pneumatic

Motor

Pedestal modul

The shaft coupling in the pedestal module provides the connection between the drive and the agitator shaft. Sleeve and ange couplings are standard. Radially split couplings are used for special applications. The pedestal module is equipped with a double spherical roller bearing with adapter sleeve. For a V-belt drive and certain special applications, an extra shaft bearing is built into the pedestal module. The SCABA shaft bearing can be used as an alternative. This enables the bearing to be changed without the need for removing the shaft.

The lantern ring, usually included, serves as a gliding bearing and increases the useful life of the seal. The shaft is often equipped with a wear sleeve.

2 - 5 packing plaits Liquid or grease lubricated

TH seal

Hygienic seal designed to prevent the ingress of oil and impurities into the process liquid. Has a labyrinth function.

TS seal

Lip seal designed to prevent the ingress of impurities into the process liquid. Protects the agitator from splashing and from attack by the vapour in the tank.

Labyrinth seal

Seal for low-pressure processes. Particularly suitable for digesters. The height of the water trap is determined by the pressure inside the tank.

Can be equipped with level control in the labyrinth. With or without facilities for changing the shaft bearing with the agitator remaining on the tank.

Scanpump Scaba impellers
