WHERE TO BUY REQUEST PRICING

FEATURES

The SM and SSM Series gear-driven mixers are engineered for the most demanding applications, offering exceptional reliability and performance. With robust spiral bevel gearing and a heavy-duty frame, these mixers deliver unparalleled durability for continuous operation in industrial environments.

Key Features:

  • Spiral Bevel Gearbox: Hardened, high-efficiency gears ensure long service life and quiet operation.
  • Heavy-Duty Frame: One-piece cast iron construction for vibration-free performance.
  • Flexible Configurations:
    • SM Series: Fixed angle for standard mixing requirements.
    • SSM Series: Swivel angle for enhanced floor cleaning and sludge management.
  • Superior Sealing Technology: Mechanical seals prevent leakage and minimize downtime.

Designed for heavy-duty use, the SM and SSM Series mixers are ideal for storage tanks requiring consistent, high-efficiency mixing.

Theory of Operation

   


The SM and SSM Series mixers use a single reduction spiral bevel gearbox to deliver high torque, powering the impeller to generate robust axial flow. This flow ensures:

  • Effective Sediment Suspension: Prevents sludge buildup and maintains tank cleanliness.
  • Uniform Blending: Achieves consistent mixing of diverse components.
  • Top-to-Bottom Flow: Ensures homogeneity and temperature uniformity, even in large tanks.

The SSM Series’ swivel capability allows for precise targeting of the tank floor, optimizing sediment management.

Key Applications

These gear-driven mixers excel in:

  • Crude Oil Storage: Efficient BS&W control and tank cleaning.
  • Chemical Tanks: Mixing of aggressive chemicals with precise control.
  • Pulp & Paper Industry: Suspension of fibers and additives.
  • Edible Oils: Homogeneous mixing and maintenance of product quality.

DIMENSIONS & SPECIFICATIONS

SM & SSM Series

  • Power Range: 1.5 – 55 kW (3 – 75 HP)
  • Impeller Sizes: Ø16" to Ø33"
  • Operating Speeds: 420 – 425 RPM
  • Shaft Diameters at Seal: 60 mm, 85 mm
  • Configurations:
    • SM Series: Fixed angle for standard mixing.
    • SSM Series: Swivel angle adjustable in 10° increments (up to 30°).

Manway Dimensions

The mixers are compatible with various manhole and nozzle sizes to suit ANSI and API standards.

  • Standard Dimensions:
    • 18" ANSI: Ø16.93" (430 mm) with maximum impeller Ø18" (460 mm)
    • 24" ANSI: Ø22.84" (580 mm) with maximum impeller Ø26" (660 mm)
    • 30" ANSI: Ø28.35" (720 mm) with maximum impeller Ø32" (815 mm)
  • Custom sizes and configurations are available to meet specific requirements.

For detailed dimensional drawings, certified schematics are available upon request.

 

OPTIONS & PERFORMANCE

The SM and SSM Series mixers are highly adaptable to various applications with the following options:

Plenty Mixers Shaft Seal

Leak Detection Systems:

  • Containment vessels with level sensors for early issue detection.

Automatic Swivel Actuators (SSM Series):

  • Timer-controlled or shaft-driven swiveling for efficient sludge suspension.
  • Long-life pre-lubricated bearings designed for heavy-duty usage.

Tank Shut-off Device: The tank shut-off device ensures seal and bearing replacement can be performed without draining the tank, reducing downtime.

  • Metal-to-metal tapered faces for secure sealing.
  • Corrosion-resistant materials for durability.
  • Safety check valve verifies shut-off effectiveness.
  • Eliminates reliance on O-rings or gaskets that may degrade over time.

Durable Bearings: Long-life pre-lubricated bearings designed for heavy-duty usage.

Mechanical Seal: Designed to handle a wide range of fluids, from asphalt to xylene, ensuring minimal leakage and maximum reliability.

Seal Features:

    • Fully enclosed within a housing to protect against wear and contamination.
    • Close-clearance throttle bush reduces leakage risks during seal failure.
    • Safety check valve ensures the seal chamber is filled with liquid before operation.

Available Seal Options:

    • Double Mechanical Seal
    • Cartridge Seal
    • High-Temperature Sealing Units
    • API/682-compliant Seals
