Side entry mixers are a key class of industrial agitation equipment. Mounted through the side wall of a tank or reactor, they deliver homogeneous mixing in large-volume vessels and are widely preferred for storage tanks and process tanks where top-entry installation is impractical.
Three dedicated series, each engineered for specific process conditions, cover the full range of large-volume mixing requirements.
The Mechanimix HMG series generates horizontal flow patterns in high-capacity storage tanks for highly effective mixing. Its gear-reduced drive delivers high torque at low shaft speed, ideal for large-volume homogenization.
The Mechanimix VMG series provides durable side-entry agitation under demanding industrial conditions. Reinforced shaft and bearing assemblies deliver long service life and low maintenance cost across continuous duty cycles.
The Mechanimix HMB series uses a belt-driven mechanism for low vibration and quiet operation. Its smooth power transmission makes it the preferred choice for applications that demand precise, gentle mixing.
