Prochem MD Series Mixers
For over
40 years, Prochem
® MD Series Mixers have been the value choice for many side-entering applications. Integral
to the MD Mixer's design is the Maxflo WSE impeller. Each MD Series Mixer maximizes the capabilities of this high-efficiency
impeller to reduce operating costs and increase processing capacities.
The MD Mixer's modular design, featuring innovative shaft bearing cartridges, allows longer operating runs between
maintenance periods. Routine maintenance and overhauls can be performed without draining the tank or removing the
mixer.
Horsepower and Speed Ranges
Standard MD Mixers are available from 1 hp to 250 hp with speeds from 240 rpm to 480 rpm. Mixer designs with enhanced
operating capacity can be designed for applications with unique requirements.
Shafts
Heavy-duty, oversized shafts,
the largest in the industry, are designed to handle up to 10 times the normal operating bending load at full torque.
MD Mixers offer shaft sizes from 1.5" to 4".
Bearings
MD Mixers offer a minimum B-10 bearing life of 100,000 hours and feature separated bearing cartridges with a double
front bearing seal for greater protection against contamination.
Unit Construction
All MD Mixers are completely assembled at our facility with all shaft, bearings and seals accurately aligned before
shipment, No on-site alignment is required.
Housings & Mounts
Housings and motor mounts
are fabricated from steel and can withstand loads several times that of typical application requirements. Two coats
of polyurethane, catalyzed paint over a two-part epoxy primer protect against corrosion.
Tank Shut-Off Devices
An optional secondary shut-off seal prevents fluid leaking during routine bearing/seal maintenance so the tank does
not have to be drained when servicing the mixer.
Belt Drives and Guards
Ultra VX belts and sheaves provide economical power transmission with shock-absorbing capability. Belt and shaft
guards are made to OSHA standards. Guards on units with 3" or larger shafts contain access holes for adjusting belt
tension. Drive systems are available for 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 belt drive service factors.
