GLASS LINED AGITATING SYSTEMS

Pfaudler’s customers have decided to invest in safety. Compliance with high technical demands, reliability and longevity are guaranteed quality features of our innovative glass lined agitating products.

 

VSO DRIVES

The drive is the “driver of success”
The DIN agitator drive type VSO may be used for reactors with a nominal capacity of 1,600 liters or more. All parts of the VSO drive are easy to access - additional units can be easily attached. A coupling between the gear box and the agitator shaft provides for trouble-free, time-saving installation or removal of a mechanical seal to DIN without removing the gear box. The agitator remains in the reactor and is supported at the agitator flange during assembly.

The drive comprises the motor, belt drive, gear box and mechanical seal. By modifying the individual elements, a drive can be exactly matched to your individual needs.Drive VSO

When combined with Pfaudler mechanical seals, Pfaudler agitating systems are also available for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of zone 1, 2 or 3.

  • High speed range and advantageous torque
  • Standard output up to 450 kW
  • Simple speed change by changing the V-belt pulleys
  • Optimum use of space in the area of the leg construction, saving space above the reactor
  • Anti-corrosive agitator connection inside the reactor
  • Double mechanical seal with secondary sealing
  • Easy replacement of mechanical seal through gear box swiveling device as a standard
  • Turbine glass lined or made of stainless steel - also available in Cryo-Lock® design
  • HSU drive specifically for chemical applications using aggressive media
