Benefits
• Maximum process efficiency, minimal product loss
• Optimal flow with higher efficiency and less energy
consumption
• Mixing down to the last drop for maximum yield due to low
agitation and dry-running capability
• Optimized Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) due to full drainability
• Minimized downtime due to ease of maintenance
Standard design
The Alfa Laval LeviMag consists of a detachable drive unit,
levitating impeller unit with radial blades, seals, ceramic
bearings and magnetic coupling, weld plate and connections.
It is available in five sizes, with mixing speeds ranging from 10
rpm up to 800 rpm.
Working principle
An impeller with radial blades installed inside the tank rotates
due to the torque from the magnetic coupling. The rotation of
the impeller mixes the fluid inside the tank. The unique design
of the Alfa Laval magnetic coupling ensures the levitation of
the impeller at all times. This enables dry-running and
complete drainability of process fluids from the tank possible.
This ensures highly efficient mixing down to the last drop and,
subsequently, maximum yield. It also enables the free flow of
CIP liquid and steam around all parts of the mixer, thereby
ensuring thorough cleaning. Impeller levitation also eliminates
axial wear.
