Asphalt Emulsion, Cutting & Blending Mixers.  Vertical temperature variations, and product variation known as layer stratification can be efficiently overcome applying ACUMIX slow speed Industrial Mixers are specifically designed for mixer service.  Mounting options include several open and closed tank {hermetically sealed and pressurized} mounting options.  Whether the mixer is designed for asphalt emulsions or asphalt cutting, our mixers are guaranteed to blend the contents to uniformity.  

Design Features:

Motor - Industry standard, off-the-shelf.  NEMA electric or air motors are supplied with all ACUMIX Model AQ, AQG, AQX, AQD & Model AQW mixers ensuring maximum reliability and ease of replacement.  

Drive - Low Speed Gear (reduced) driven designs are available to achieve a range of speeds to accommodate and adapt to the required process conditions.  Gearbox designed to achieve a minimum of 100,000 hours (11.41 years) L10 bearing life.  If you don't know your exact mixer service statistical bearing life it doesn't how well your gears are constructed as once your bearings fail your gearing is useless.  All gear drives are designed with a minimum AGMA service factor of 1.5 (moderate shock) based upon the prior more stringent gear standards ensuring your equipment will last like the equipment it replaced.  A minimum of 96% gear efficiency (burries inefficient worm gear designs) with no gear ratio exceeding a 7:1 reduction.  Supplied with either commercial grade or food grade lubricants upon request.    

Mounting options (open tank) - Swivel Mounted Clamp or Cup-Plate and Fixed mounted plate or angular offset angle riser designs and Sanitary Ferrule Food Grade are available utilizing proper mixer orientation above the  open tank.       

Mounting options (closed tank) - ACUMIX offers a broad range of closed tank options which include: hermetically sealed base-plate designs, sanitary ferrule or flanged low pressure seals, standard low-pressure stuffing box, v-ring or lip seal, and a vast array of mechanical seal designs (single dry running,  double wet or dry running, pharmaceutical seals, etc.).  

Shaft Lengths - ACUMIX can provide a number of shaft diameter and length options. The shaft can be designed to fit your application using rigid and removable flanged coupling designs.  

Impellers - ACUMIX mixing expertise includes the use of impeller designs for low shear (high flow) blending, slurry suspension (or make-down), gas dispersion, high shear dissolving and dispersing, close clearance collapsible designs, and viscous mixing.

Mixer Design 

ACUMIX's industrial mixing equipment is designed taking into account the cost of operation, the initial cost for the equipment, and its impact on your overall productivity.  It is for this reason that we rely on mixing specialist, not computers, to analyze and interpret your requirements and your mixing needs on your terms.  Don't be lulled into complacency by any computer program (GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out).
