Lightnin 80 Series - Medium Torque Top Entering Mixer For Arduous duties

80 Series - Medium Torque Top Entering Mixer For Arduous duties

The most specified and most proven mechanical design technology in the world makes Lightnin Series 80 Mixers ideal for a wide range of applications.

Thousands of Lightnin Mixers with hollow quill drives have been placed in service since we first created the design in the late 1960s to protect the gear train from severe flexures of the shaft. The exclusive hollow quill became part of the Series 80 mixers at that time. Since then, the design has written a singular record for isolating shaft flexures and assuring longer life in some of the toughest applications imaginable. Series 80 mixers are especially recommended for processes with high fluid forces on the impellers and long impeller shaft applications. Gearing is the same as used in our Series 70 and 500 mixers. Altogether, there are tens of thousands of these drives at work every day around the world. It’s our standard and the standard of the industry.

Series 80 mixers offer a full choice of impellers in order to optimize your process results. Included are the high-flow A310/A510, as well as other high performance and more traditional impellers, so we can match shear and flow to your process requirements exactly.
Together, we decide what mixing should do to optimize your process. Then, we recommend the impeller, mixer speed, shaft length, and other specifications. And we guarantee performance results.
Tested 100%: We employ a non-load test run on every Series 80 before it is shipped.
