98 Series - High Torque Top Entering Mixer

98 Series Mixers Parallel drives for heavy duties, optimize productivity and reduce downtime

Overview

The Lightnin 98 Series Mixer is engineered to handle high torque mixing applications while minimizing gear deflection and maximizing seal life. Its advanced design isolates internal gearing from fluid-induced forces, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in demanding industrial environments.

Gear Isolation Design Advantages

Lower quill shaft bearing experiences no external loading
Clearance between mixer and quill shafts prevents bending loads on gearing
Fixed bearing in seal cartridge absorbs radial and axial forces
Precise bearing placement minimizes shaft run-out and dynamic deflection

Mechanical & Operational Features

Parallel shaft, double reduction design: Ideal for space-constrained installations
Carburized and ground helical gearing: Quiet operation and extended gear life
Dry well oil dam: Prevents lubrication leakage down the mixer shaft
Integral positive displacement pump: Provides continuous lubrication without a separate motor
Compact drive design: Requires less oil, eliminating the need for a large sump
Forced lubrication system: Filters contaminants to extend oil life
Standard flanged motors and pedestal mount: Simplifies assembly and eliminates high-speed coupling alignment
Integral mounting plate: No need for additional bolted plates
Optional seal cartridge: Easily removable in four steps without disturbing gear drive or shaft bearings

Specifications

Power range: 15–130 kW (20–150 HP)
AGMA speed range: 20–100 RPM
