DESIGN & MANUFACTURING
At Mixtec, we prioritise quality in design and manufacturing with a thorough pilot testing process. We use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to validate optimal solutions and conduct scaled-down tests for adjustments before implementation. By collaborating with operators worldwide, we address unique needs and focus on mixer configuration, performance, and mechanical issues. Our advanced software enables precise calculations to ensure safety and efficiency, and we work closely with clients to define project scopes and provide tailored suggestions.
Optimal mixer design starts with evaluation of the application and/or current installation. We assess mixer configuration, performance, process requirements and any mechanical issues requiring resolution.
Once the application is clear and the process data is collected and evaluated, preliminary recommendations are issued and in consultation with the client the scope of work is decided.
Mixtec utilises advanced in-house software to perform calculations for mixer configurations, focusing on:
- Structural and mechanical integrity, along with safety
- High efficiency, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance
- Cost-effective capital expenditures (CapEx) and low operating expenses (OpEx)
We carefully select the mixer and gearbox configurations, impellers, materials, sensors, and accessories, drawing on Mixtec’s extensive experience in process industries and the successful deployment of tens of thousands of agitators worldwide.
Our comprehensive historical database enables us to identify the best solutions for each application.
Metals
We can work with a wide range of metals. Below is a list including, but not limited to, common metals we have used:
Stainless steel, duplex / super duplex, exotic alloys and special materials (eg. 304L, 316L, 904L (1.4539), Alloy 20, Alloy 31, LDX2101 (1.4162), SAF 2205 (1.4462), SAF 2507 (1.4410), F255 (1.4507), Titanium, Hastelloys, Inconel, Zeron 100, Monel 400 and others).
Mixtec can work with a wide range of linings and coatings. Below is a list including, but not limited to, common linings that we have used previously:
Soft Natural Rubber, Chlorobutyl, Bromobutyl, Nitrile, Ebonite, Fibre Glass (GRP), epoxy paints, polishing, Halar, Carboguard, ETFE and Ultralar (ECTFE).
Mixtec specialises in engineering and design services, using AutoCAD to create general arrangement drawings and 3D models when needed.
Our Series 4000 heavy-duty agitator drives are designed to handle large mechanical agitators in tanks over 6,000 cubic meters. These systems can support agitators weighing more than 38 tons, with impellers up to 7.6 meters in diameter and shafts reaching 21 meters in length. We offer standard models that exceed 450 kW, and these drives can be easily upgraded to meet specific application requirements.
