Can a gearbox be smaller than a mixer?
Can a gearbox be smaller than a mixer?
These factors include shaft size and the mounting arrangement. A good industrial mixer design cannot use a gearbox that has an output shaft significantly smaller than the mixer in tank shaft, even if the overall critical speed of the system would be sufficient.

Where can a mixer be mounted on a tank?
The mixer can be mounted on support beams or a suitable structure for open tank operation or pedestal mounted for closed tanks with a stuffing box or single / double mechanical seals.
What’s the best way to fix a Lightnin mixer?
Tighten the clamp screw (116) making sure the travel plate (118) is parallel to the tank lip when it contacts the tank wall. Using an M8 or 5/16” hex wrench, tighten the clamp screw to 40-50 ft-lbs (54-61 N-m) so that the mixer is held securely to the tank. DO NOT IMPACT THE WRENCH OR USE AN EXTENSION.

Can a tank mixer be mounted to a vessel?
Mixer Direct carries a variety of tank mixers, usually referring to tank agitators that will permanently mount to the top or side of a vessel. Flange mount, Plate mount, and Top entry are the most common, but some prefer to use a portable mixer as a tank mixer, as it can afford the flexibility of being easily removed and used in multiple vessels.
How does an ANSI mixer attach to a sealed tank?
Many closed-top or sealed tanks feature ANSI flange or tri-clamp® mounts. ANSI flange mixers attach to tanks using gasketed standard plumbing flange sizes with bolt circles and are common in both sealed and non-sealed mixing applications. Contact our applications engineers to customize these mixers to your application.
