SK800C PULP SIDE ENTRY MIXER

1. Inboard Bearing Support System

The agitator shaft is supported by a heavy-duty inboard bearing (typically a spherical roller bearing or sleeve bearing) located inside the tank. This bearing absorbs radial and axial loads, preventing excessive shaft deflection and vibration. Ensures stable rotation even with long shafts and high torque demands (common in pulp & paper applications).

2. Robust Shaft Design

The shaft is short-coupled (minimizing overhang) and made from high-strength stainless steel or carbon steel with coatings for corrosion resistance. Large diameter shaft to handle high bending moments in pulp suspensions.

3. Sealing Mechanism

Mechanical seals or packing glands prevent leakage along the shaft penetration into the tank. Abrasion-resistant sealing surfaces for durability in fibrous media (e.g., pulp slurries).

4. Impeller & Flow Dynamics

High-efficiency impellers (e.g., hydrofoil, pitched blade, or specialized pulp agitator designs) generate axial flow to keep fibers in suspension. Optimized rotational speed ensures uniform mixing without dead zones in large chests.
