Turn Pain into Gain!
A beverage manufacturer was experiencing leaking mechanical seals on all of their side entry mixers in 5,000 gallon blend tanks and the pain was felt throughout the plant. Quality hated buckets on the production floor catching drips. Production and accounting hated the lost product from each batch. Maintenance hated confined entry mixer repairs and replacement seal cost. The old mixers had to go and their 3 options were new side entry mixers, top entry mixers supplied by the tank manufacturer, and the Admix Rotomaxx top entry mixer.
They ruled out new side entry mixers with their leaking seal potential, low pumping rate, and high horsepower. The tank manufacturer’s top entry mixer would require a lower steady bearing welded to the tank bottom for support, tank baffles, and similarly high horsepower. They selected the Admix Rotomaxx with half the horsepower, higher the pumping rate, a simple viton lip seal, no baffles, no steady bearings, and installed on an 8″ ferrule welded to the top of the tank.
One week after start up, quality, production, maintenance, and accounting folks no longer felt mixing pains. They talked to a sister plant about the pain relief delivered by Rotomaxx. That plant quickly had two Rotomaxx units installed on their blend tanks. Oh yeah, blend times were reduced from 60 minutes to just under 15 minutes.
