Agitator / Mixer
The mixer/agitator shaft is mounted on ball bearings on the product side. The design of these bearings is determined by the product-side conditions such as temperature, rpm, product properties and the like. Often times standard ball bearings can be used that are lubricated afterwards or permanently packed in grease and that are sealed using PTFE radial shaft sealing rings.
The ball bearings can help protect against corrosion through realization of an inert gas overlay.
