Industrial Portable Mixer Model AQO3X is
our heavy duty double helical parallel shaft gear driven top entering open tank fixed
plate mounted mixer.
Model AQO3X features heavy gage high strength cast aluminum housing with oversized
bearings with a steel "bolt-on" base plate assembly, for mounting to a
suitable horizontal support structure such as spanning beams or a tank lid
assembly. The single
helical gear reduction is 96% efficient (2% per gear reduction) constructed of durable high strength
carburized & hardened gearing with
a minimum AGMA Service Factor that can significantly exceed 1.5 (SF >
1.5 is classified moderate shock, continuous 24 hour per day), based upon the
motor nameplate rating. We comply with AGMA's strict requirement
that no gear reduction exceed a ratio of 7:1 that can prematurely stress the
pinion gear. Please
note that our gear reduction is not made from inefficient “soft-wear” worm
gearing, cheap planetary gearing, nor is our design adapted to commercially
available gear-motor assemblies that result in limited service life capabilities
due to inferior bearing design & configuration. Our L10
bearing lives generally exceed 100,000 hours (11.41 years) based upon full load
24/7. The model AQO3X provides a flexible motor coupling interface between
the motor and gearing to ensure alignment, to ease installation, & to absorb
inherent shock loads to safeguard the overall life of the mixer. The
one-piece
output shaft is precision aligned with the housing, bearings, and gearing to
ensure precise alignment to minimize
shaft deflection. To
enable ease of installation the
output shaft features either a precision quick release {hollow shaft} chuck or a
flanged coupling configuration either constructed of high strength steel or 316L
{low carbon} stainless steel. The flanged agitator shaft coupling
assembly, again constructed of either high strength steel (with zinc plated
hardware) or 316L {low carbon} stainless steel (with 316SS hardware), feature a precise raised
face rabbet fit to assure alignment. Please note that non-aligning, non-concentric couplings are
never used. The agitator
shaft is measured from the mixers mounting base with numerous impeller configurations
for high flow or shear capability which are
available from stock constructed of 316L {low carbon} stainless steel with 316SS
hardware. Standard motor options include: 1750 RPM's either 115/208-230 Volt, 1-phase, IP55, 60 hertz or
208-230/460 Volt, 3-Phase, 50/60 Hertz, IP55, Class F insulated, T3C temperature
rise, inverter ready 5:1 constant torque, TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan
Cooled) designs with commercially standard paint. Available motor upgrades or options include:
 | Food grade high pressure wash down
inverter duty ALL STAINLESS motors with
tropicalized class F insulation, Class B temperature rise, TEFC, with
thermostats on each phase-auto reset & a 1.15 Service Factor

High
Efficiency EPACT Explosion
Proof - Class I, Group C&D, Class II, Group F&G, Class F insulated,
IP55, TEFC, with thermostats, T4 temperature rise & a 1.15 service
factor.

Intrinsically safe {suitable for explosion
proof environments) variable speed rotary vane or piston type air motors
totally enclosed with air muffler. |

AC
& DC variable speed motor options. |
Each mixers nameplate
will specifically state, "Manufactured in USA" and will be built with
pride and dedication.
Some application such as for food processing are
available unpainted where an optional upgrade to paint the motor & gearbox
with a chemical resistant paint option is available upon request.
Please
note, these mixers are NOT COMMON CHEAP THROW AWAY MIXERS. After
years of reliable service, these mixer are designed to be easily and reliably
rebuilt and put back into service.
