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.

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).
Express Mixer Program
ACUMIX offers 24-48 hour delivery
on a wide range of standard mixer configurations to quickly meet your
needs. This is not an off the shelf program that has to meet a rigid
standard model program but is rather a program that utilizes and builds on stock
components on a quick and efficient basis. If you really need it we
probably most likely have it and when you need it.
