New product: Sulzer launches new side-mounted agitator range and hydraulic upgrade

Sulzer has announced the launch of the new AGISTAR SSA side-mounted agitator range, something the Swiss company claims is a significant step towards decreasing power consumption and reducing the environmental impact of its portfolio.

According to a statement from the company, a key feature of the agitator is its low total cost of ownership, a result of reduced operational, energy and maintenance costs.

 

Applications:

The AGISTAR SSA is designed for use in demanding applications in industries such as pulp and paper, biofuels, food, sludge, and municipal and industrial wastewater. The AGISTAR’s new high-efficiency EX3 propeller can also be used in SALOMIX side-entry agitators.

 

Technical features:

Sulzer has developed new ‘high-efficiency’ hydraulics with high pumping capacity and axial thrust but low power consumption for the new agitator range.

The AGISTAR SSA has a strong shaft designed for minimal deflection. Rigid construction minimises vibration and extends the life time of the seals and bearing, up to more than 200,000 hours in the case of the bearing.

The new duplex stainless steel EX3 propeller has been included to boost strength and wear properties. “This ensures a longer lifetime than for agitators using austenitic stainless steel propellers. In addition, the performance of the agitator can be adapted with the adjustable propeller blades,” Sulzer writes in a statement.

Adjustable blade angles allow performance flexibility and easy servicing.

 

Compatibility

The new EX3 propeller exceeds the current SALOMIX MX-4 propeller in both efficiency and thrust, according to Sulzer. The EX3 can replace MX4 propellers on SALOMIX side-entry agitators. The energy efficient hydraulics can be used both in upgrades of existing installations and in new equipment.
