Cost associated with new gear box installs. Work required to perform repair (cut off top of tank and replace with new cover) b. 2.) Increase the size of the shaft to 6' and 3' my issues are the following: a. Failure of the tank due to shaft hitting steady bearing in the repeatedly in the same place. Have not corrected the problem just hid they symptom c. I am being sold on two different design options: 1.) Add a steady bearing to bottom of tank to reduce movement and my issues with this are the following: a. I currently have 2' and 4' shafts extending down from the gear box into the tank. While running, the agitators sway due to either fabrication quality or design flaws. There are two counter rotating agitators in the tank which are about 8' long by 5' wide. My current mixer design has reliability issues. What is causing the mechanical problems with agitators? I am currently mixing 4 tons of product with a density of 8.4lb/gal that is very sensitive to over mixing.

What is the best mixer to use to first get the water to the top of the vessel, evaporate off and also mix the solids and liquid? Solids density is 1.6 g/cc, liquid is 1.5 g/cc. But the solid is water wet 30% and I have to drive off the water while mixing the two components. What is the best mixer for solids and liquids? I want to mix a solid with a liquid with the ratio of 50/50.

Tank: Diameter = 2m, L = 5m (17m3 Capacity) Fluid = Vegetable oil (I think viscosity = 60 cP, density = 900 kg/m3) Temperature: Reaches 130 degrees C Here are more of the latest questions on: Mixing What type of impeller and engine power should I use for the following service? What type of impeller and engine power should I use for the following service? Agitator design Q: How do you design the shaft diameter, impeller rpm and power required to drive an agitator? A: For mechanical design information about mixers, see Chapter 21 of 'Mechanical Design of Mixing Equipment' in the Handbook of Industrial Mixing, Ed Paul, et.al.
