SEW-Eurodrive X Series agitator drives

The X Series agitator range from SEW-Eurodrive is purpose-built for agitating and mixing applications within the mining and minerals processing industries. It is desirable for situations where high bending moments combined with high levels of torque are required.

The range is suitable for extreme conditions, such as high ambient temperatures or ATEX. In addition to the torque that has to be transmitted, high radial or axial forces are often brought to bear on the output shaft. With a flexible product design, SEW-Eurodrive offers a standardised solution with load-specific bearing and output shaft combinations.

Depending on the load criteria, there are different options available within the agitator range.

For light loads, a model with a universal housing for helical gear units and bevel-helical gear units (two- to four-stage) is available for the torque range between 6.8 and 475 kNm. It is based on the combination of a universal housing with reinforced bearing design.

For medium and heavy loads, two models are available in the 22 to 90 kNm torque range. These feature a roller bearing design with increased bearing distances. All drives are suitable for use in ATEX scenarios and can be combined with the standard options of ‘dry well’ seal, pressure lubrication/oil bath lubrication, rigid flange coupling, fan cooling and foot- or flange-mounting. This solution is available as a three-stage helical gear unit. The thermal rating of this model has been increased due to the use of an optimised vertical housing with cooling fins, axial fans, etc.
