Homogenization and sedimentation prevention in storage tanks up to 20,000 m³ with a belt driven horizontal motor configuration. Modular design allows seal and belt replacement without removing the motor — reliably used in petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, mineral processing and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) applications.
The HMB Series is a belt driven side entry industrial mixer manufactured by Mechanimix. It provides homogenization and sedimentation prevention in tanks up to 20,000 m³. With motor power up to 55 kW and shaft diameter up to 120 mm, its compact design enables easy installation in confined spaces; used across petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) sectors.
Adjustable speed and torque; easy tensioning, motor and belt replacement without disassembly
Horizontal belt drive design enables mechanical seal replacement without removing or realigning the motor
Motor height adjustment on slotted bracket; quick and accurate belt tensioning without special tools
Seal replacement while tank is full; locking mechanism prevents shaft rotation while securely supported
Belt drive absorbs vibration and stress on the motor and gearbox, ensuring smooth power transmission
Entire belt drive system enclosed in a protective guard; prevents accidental contact, dust and particle ingress
Homogenization in crude oil, fuel and chemical storage tanks; sedimentation and stratification prevention; stainless steel and Duplex options for corrosive environments
Solid suspension in leaching and flotation tanks; slurry blending and sedimentation prevention; wear-resistant material configurations
Limestone slurry blending in absorption towers; suspension and chemical reaction homogeneity in large-volume FGD tanks
Controlled mixing in pharmaceutical processes and pigment dispersion in paint/coating tanks; hygienic material options
Chemical dosing, pH adjustment and biological treatment; pulp preparation and cellulose suspension
Keeping oil, dairy and liquid food products homogeneous in large storage tanks; food-grade material options
