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.

Introduction

The Alfa Laval LeviMag® is an aseptic magnetic mixer that

uses a patented levitating impeller and advanced design to

mix down to the last drop and maximize product yield.

Compact, energy-efficient and easy to maintain, it provides

dry-running capabilities and efficient mixing at low speeds,

which ensures gentle product treatment, as well as at high

speeds for high-intensity mixing. This provides greater

process flexibility to handle a wide range of fluid types and

mixing duties.

Its open design and low-speed rotation during cleaning

contribute to effective residue removal and minimize

contamination risks from wear particles. All this contributes to

fast return on investment and maximum product yield in tanks

ranging in size between 30 litres and 40.000 litres / 8 US

gallons and US 10.567 gallons.

It is supplied with 2.2 certification as standard but can

optionally be supplied with Alfa Laval Q-doc, a comprehensive

documentation package that provides full transparency of the

entire supply chain.

Applications

Alfa Laval LeviMag magnetic mixer offers effective mixing for

multiple processes in the dairy, food, beverage, biotechnology,

pharmaceutical and other industries that have demanding

requirements for sterile or aseptic storage or processing.

How does tank mixers work?

Tank mixers such as magnetic mixers and rotary jet mixers have different operating principles.

Rotary jet mixer nozzles feed the liquid, gas, or powder into the base liquid in the tank.

These jet mixers rotate around both horizontal and vertical axes in a 360° movement.

This three-dimensional rotation enables fast, efficient tank mixing of the injected liquid,

gas, or powder without requiring batch rotation. A circulation loop enables liquid to be

pumped from the bottom of the tank and back into the industrial tank mixers.

For faster mixing requirements, several rotary jet mixers can be installed in series as part

of a larger process mixer system.

A magnetic mixer (also called a magnet mixer) has a radial impeller installed inside the tank.

Due to the torque from a magnetic coupling, the impeller rotates, mixing the fluid inside

the tank. The patented design of the levitating impeller enables dry running, maximizing

yield by mixing down to the last drop. It also ensures full drainability of the process fluids

and the free flow of Cleaning-in-Place media and steam throughout the mixer, ensuring

thorough cleaning.

Maximize uptime and yield with Alfa Laval tank mixers for hygienic and aseptic applications.

Patented technology ensures efficient and uniform mixing of powders, liquids and gases

while reducing the total cost of ownership. Compact, energy efficient and easy to maintain,

these tank mixers enhance process flexibility, making quick, easy work of blending various

product formulations with diverse viscosities, densities and volumes.

• Maximize yields and minimize product loss

• Increase product quality due to minimal risk of contamination and optimal cleanability

• More uptime and greater process flexibility

• Quick, easy onsite maintenance

• Low energy consumption Focus on sustainability

Get unmatched process performance and higher yields from Alfa Laval tank mixers.

Enjoy higher mixing efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and the highest standards

of cleanability. These cost-effective tank mixers can disperse gas, powder, or liquid into

a base liquid, mix down to the last drop, or handle double duty to clean the tank after

mixing.

Let Alfa Laval tank mixers raise the standard of mixing efficiency to a new level across

the dairy, food, beverage, brewery, and a broad range of applications that place demanding

requirements on hygienic production.

Working principle

Power from the motor – direct or via gearbox – drives the shaft,

rotating impellers for optimal mixing and low energy

consumption. The unique EnSaFoil™ two or three blade impellers

generate strong axial flow with minimal shear, ensuring uniform

mixing and blending. The high mixing efficiency cuts energy

consumption by up to 80% and limits heat transfer to the product,

lowering cooling requirements.

Options

•Pharma (UltraPure), Food or Industrial versions

•Welding flange (mandatory accessory) – also versions for upgrade of

existing agitators

•Stainless steel shroud for gear motor

•Various surface treatments for gear motor according to DIN EN ISO 12944-2

•Various elastomer materials or shaft seal face combinations

•Special alloy on request

•Various documentation packages

•Condition monitor (accessory)

•Service tools for maintenance (available as a complete service suitcase

including all tools necessary for doing service)

•Spare Part kits including complete cartridge spare unit for reduced downtime

Standard design

EnSaLine S consists of a drive unit with bearing frame, shaft with

special cartridge shaft seal, and EnSaFoil™ impellers with two or

three blades. Inside the tank, the fully flushable design with no

mounting flange and the hygienic seal housing offer excellent

cleanability. EnSaLine S agitators give rapid and tool-free access,

enabling one technician to complete service in under 30 minutes.

During maintenance, the shaft remains securely fixed and there is

no need for the technician to enter the tank. Sealings and O-rings

can be replaced from the outside. EnSaLine S is prepared for

wireless condition monitoring.
