Alfa Laval ALT Top-Mounted Agitator Benefits

Energy efficient design

Our EnSaFoil impellers, as well as our particularly designed EnSaFerm impellers for fermentation applications, reduce energy usage and heat absorption by your product. Based on rigorous fluid dynamic studies, their distinctive design allows them to be up to 400% more efficient than regular pitch impellers. Aside from lowering energy loss, our impellers function at lower speeds without sacrificing pumping capacity. When compared to agitators with traditional impellers, they reduce agitator power usage by up to 80%.

Modular and hygienic

When it comes to a variety of mixing and blending tasks in processing tanks, Alfa Laval agitators guarantee top-notch sanitation. Agitator systems can be easily customized to match the unique needs of each tank and process thanks to its modular design and use of sanitary materials with smooth surfaces. These materials adhere to a variety of standards, including those set out by EHEDG, USDA, FDA, and 3-A.

Simplified service

Alfa Laval agitators are characterized by low wear and little maintenance, which translates into increased output due to reduced downtime. Long-life seals and bearings may be replaced without removing or entering the tank, saving both time and money.

Product range

Four different Alfa Laval agitator models for top-, bottom- and side-mounting are available for installation in pressurized and non-pressurized tanks. Sterile/aseptic and ATEX-certified versions are available upon request.

For additional information, please refer to Documentation.

ALTB Top-Mounted Agitator

The Alfa Laval ALTB top-mounted agitator is available in a variety of sizes to fit both atmospheric and pressurised tanks. The inclusion of a bottom support stabilises the shaft and assures its consistent operation. You can expect excellent power usage because to the wide range of size possibilities. ALTB agitators are designed for simple CIP and can be adjusted for usage in sterile/aseptic environments.

We provide variants for sterile/aseptic applications as well as optional equipment for all ALTB top-mounted agitators, such as a welding flange, a blind flange, a motor/gear cover, and a replacement parts package. Material certificates are available upon request.

Our top-mounted agitator with bottom support ALTB provides the same solutions as the ALT but with greater mechanical freedom. Depending on the size of the agitator, a bottom support may yield a more cost-effective solution. The Alfa Laval bottom support is designed to be sanitary and easy to clean.

Energy efficient design

Both our EnSaFoil impellers and our custom made EnSaFerm impellers for fermentation use less energy and keep your product from absorbing heat. Their unique shape, which is based on a lot of research into fluid dynamics, makes them up to 400% more efficient than impellers with a normal pitch. Our impellers work at slower speeds without losing any pushing power, which is another way they save energy. So, they lower the power needed by agitators by up to 80% compared to agitators with regular impellers.

Modular and hygienic

Alfa Laval agitators keep things very clean and can be used for a lot of different blending and mixing tasks in processing tanks. Because they are made of clean, modular parts with smooth surfaces, stirrer systems can be easily changed to fit different tank and process needs, such as those set by EHEDG, USDA, FDA, and 3-A.

Simplified service

Alfa Laval agitators are known for having low wear and little upkeep. This means more work gets done because there is less break. For example, long-life seals and joints can be replaced without taking the tank apart or going inside it. It saves time and money this way.

Energy efficient design

Our EnSaFoil impellers, as well as our specially developed EnSaFerm impellers for fermentation use, reduce energy consumption and the absorption of heat by your product. Based on extensive fluid dynamic studies, their unique shape makes them up to 400% more efficient than impellers with a standard pitch. Besides minimizing energy loss, our impellers operate at reduced speeds without reducing pumping capacity. Compared to agitators with conventional impellers, they thereby lower agitator power consumption by up to 80%.

Modular design using hygienic materials with smooth surfaces provides great flexibility to tailor agitator systems to meet specific tank and process requirements, including EHEDG, USDA, FDA, and 3-A standards.

Simplified service

Low wear and minimal maintenance are hallmarks of Alfa Laval Bottom Mounted Agitators. This translates into higher productivity due to reduced downtime. No dismantling or entry into the tank, for instance, is required for parts replacement of long-life seals and bearings. This saves both time and money.

Product range

Four different Alfa Laval agitator models for top-, bottom-, and side-mounting are available for installation in pressurized and non-pressurized tanks. Sterile/aseptic and ATEX-certified versions are available upon request.

Construction

Based on a modular design, ALB Bottom Mounted Agitators consist of a drive unit with a bearing frame, shaft with special shaft seal arrangement, and bi- or tri-lobe energy-saving airfoil impellers.

Operating principle

An electrical motor (drive unit) transmits the energy required for mixing and blending, either directly or via a gearbox, to the ALB Bottom Mounted Agitator shaft. The shaft rotates, turning the specially designed Energy Saving Foil impellers. The impeller movement creates a high flow with low shear due to the highly effective axial pumping effect on the liquid in the tank. This results in effective mixing and blending of the entire contents of the tank.

Optional equipment

Alfa Laval also offers AL Series Agitators for sterile/aseptic applications and optional equipment, including welding flange, blind flange, cover for motor/gear, and spare part kits, for its range of agitators.
