SPX Flow: Plenty

Side entry mixers provide very efficient mixing for large tanks. Plenty Side Entry Mixers offer simple maintenance, easy tank shut-off, and efficient fluid pumping.

The Plenty Side Entry mixer is an efficient converter of energy into fluid motion. Unlike jet mixer systems, they do not suffer significant energy losses at the pump, in the pipework, in the bends, or most significantly, at the jet nozzles. Capital costs are low and access to in-tank components is not restricted, while the problem of frequent, urgent maintenance on tanks that must be emptied and cleaned is eliminated. Side Entry mixers are also efficient and are usually less expensive for larger diameter tanks. Side Entry mixers are ideal for use on tanks with floating roofs where practical considerations preclude the use of top entry mixers.

Plenty Side Entry Mixer Highlights

  • Power ranges from 1.5 – 55kW (3 – 75 HP)
  • Impeller diameters from 16” to 33”
  • Belt and Gear Drive designs
  • Fixed and Swivel Angle to ensure the entire tank is mixed homogeneously

All units incorporate a tank shut-off device to allow the shaft seal and bearings to be changed under full tank conditions. The tank shut-off mechanism incorporates tapered metal-to-metal faces, positively clamped by a bolted flange which both seals products in the tank and securely supports the shaft during bearing and/or shaft seal changes.

All tapered faces are wear and corrosion-resistant. The most important aspect of the Plenty Shutoff and mechanical seal assembly is that it incorporates a safety check valve for ensuring that the shut-off is 100% effective before the removal of any bearings or the mechanical seal. The Plenty shut-off mechanism offers complete safety and security as it does not incorporate any flexible ‘O’ rings or gaskets which deform, wear, or perish.
