Agitators with TAA seal

Agitation units with dry PTFE ring mechanical seal for glass reactors.

The agitation unit, based on TAA mechanical seal and also available in ATEX execution, is mainly used on glass reactors operating under vacuum or up to a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar, at a maximum temperature of 185°C achievable in the flushed and cooled seal version.

The seal consists of an aluminium “anti-corrosive” or stainless-steel carrying lantern with the bearings guide and a PTFE box containing the seal rings. The parts in contact with the process are coated with PTFE and the connection can be mounted on glass necks with ITIV / Schott / QVF DN25÷80 flange type and available in 4 models depending on the diameter shaft, which is machined from a hot-dip coated steel bar with virgin or antistatic PTFE.

The motor unit offers a choice between electric variable-speed drives or pneumatic motors depending on the volume to be agitated, while there are multiple options available for impellers of various kinds such as: turbines, Rushton turbine impellers, anchors, semi-anchors, scraping blades – custom which are made based on the process characteristics using PTFE or other compatible materials.

FL-FLH models can optionally be equipped with a flushing barrel for lantern cooling.
