Chemineer GT Turbine Agitators
Product Literature (PDF)Premium Performance
The line of Chemineer GT Turbine Agitators provides enhanced cost-efficiency and performance embodied in an advanced
parallel shaft design.
The GT is available with either NEMA or IEC C-flange motors from 1 - 30 HP and shaft speeds of 11 - 155 rpm.
The motor is shipped to your facility and can be attached to the integral motor coupling during the installation
process. Lifting lugs cast directly into the housing make for safe, easy handling of the entire unit. Thanks to
a low profile design and compact internal components, the GT features a small mounting footprint making it ideal
for applications where clearances may be tight.
Unlike the competition that uses flimsy plastic and fiberglass components, the Chemineer GT Turbine Agitator
features a housing completely manufactured from cast iron. Couple that with an abrasion-resistant, catalyzed polyurethane
finish and you have a turbine agitator well-suited for use in both indoor and outdoor operating environments.
Key Features of the GT Turbine Agitator
- Wide variety of seal types
- Small footprint
- Standard lubricants
- Double and triple reduction gear drive designs
- Completely cast iron housing
- Broad application versatility
- Worldwide compatibility
Simply Accessible
For replacement of the mechanical seal, simply rotate the gearbox 90 degrees around the pivot pin. The top of the
seal pedestal opens for a clear, line-of-site view and ample room for easy removal of the coupling half and seal
cartridge.
Power + Efficiency
Chemineer GT agitators feature a highly efficient drive specifically engineered for turbine agitator service. When
compared to competitive designs, the GT agitator's double reduction configuration allows for a wider variety of
speeds at low overall operating costs. The GT also easily accommodates a triple reduction drive for size 3 and 4
gearboxes.
Geared for Life
Case-carburized, precision-ground, helical gear sets are manufactured to AGMA Quality 10 standards for long
service and proper contact. The GT agitator's helical gearing provides minimal wear for optimum mechanical
energy transmission resulting in more power for your mixing needs. CNC machining ensures exact, repeatable
fits and finishes for improved parts interchangeability and gear alignment.
The GT agitator's tapered roller bearings feature an L10 bearing life of 50,000 hours for long life and
trouble-free operation. Its main support bearing is mounted in the rigid support base of the gearbox for
reliable performance in severe bending applications. The competition's mixer, however, uses a drywell-mounted
output bearing which has a tendency to crack thus limiting its application to less stressful service.
Standard Lubricants for a Lifetime of Smooth Operation
The GT agitator drive utilizes typical gear oil lubricants as opposed to competitive, single reduction units
which require expensive synthetic lubricants due to extreme pressure loads at the high speed pinion. The
standard drywell, low speed shaft seal prevents lubricant leakage, eliminating the risk of process fluid
contamination. Additionally, positive gear and bearing lubrication is provided even under variable speed
applications and reverse rotation.
Oversized Shafting
All Chemineer shafting is sized and tested to resist torsional loads and bending moments resulting from
hydraulic forces acting on the impeller during mixing. Chemineer will work with you to determine optimum
sizing for you
r
application.
GT shafts are available in diameters of 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches and afford maximum resistance to shock
loads. All shafts are straightened to 0.003 inches of total runout per foot of shaft length to minimize
vibration and maximize seal life. A variety of materials of construction ensure process compatibility. Options
include the following: 316 SS, carbon steel, high alloys, C276 - high nickel alloy, chrome and mollybium
cobalt.
