Top Mounted Mechanical Agitator

Circulation of Massecuite in the pan during boiling plays a prime role in proper growth of crystals and exhaustion of molasses. Top Mounted Mechanical Agitator gives marked improvement in boiling and also improves the quality of the product. It permits a valuable gain in purity of molasses and renders possible working with tighter massecuite.

Hydro dynamically designed impeller ensures the best fit calculations at lowest power consumption. EES designed impeller has high Flow number with optimised Power number, which means it gives maximum circulation with lowest power consumption. It provides the option of achieving an acceptable heat transfer with temperature difference as low as 20°C, compare to at least 45-50°C in the absence of stirrer. The use of low pressure vapour results in reduction of factory steam requirements.

Top Mounted Mechanical agitator assembly consists of the following elements:-

• An agitator carrying vanes or other propelling means
• Shaft connecting the impeller to the driving system. The shaft is supported on bearings and is guided by central bush.
• A driving system consisting of electric motor and gearbox.

The drive supporting arrangement is carefully designed to be rugged and is free of vibrations. The overall system is optimized for low cost and premium efficiency. The load/thrust of the shaft is carried by the bearings provided in an enclosed housing. Carefully selected and specially designed gland packing at entry of shaft at the top of Pan ensures zero vacuum leakage.
EES supplied Top Mounted Mechanical Agitator is robust, trouble free and cost optimised solution for increasing the efficiency of the Pan.
