IN ADDITION TO THE RANGE OF AUTOMEC GEARMOTORS ALREADY DEVELOPED, WE MANUFACTURE CUSTOMISED GEARMOTORS FOR AGITATORS, STIRRERS AND MIXERS.
Within the wide range of planetary gearmotors produced at Automec, we have specific models for agitators, stirrers and mixers. Before going into the operation of agitator geared motors, we will briefly explain how agitators work.
What is an agitator and how it works:
Agitators are equipment designed to mix liquids or powdered substances inside containers. They ensure homogeneous and uniform mixing of the material.
A typical agitator consists of a motor that provides the necessary power, a drive shaft that transfers the rotary motion to the mixing device, and the actual mixing element. Their operation consists of a motor that creates a rotary motion on the drive shaft. This movement is transmitted to the mixing element, creating a force that acts on the material to be mixed. The mixing element (blade, propeller or other specific shape) moves through the material, generating flows and turbulence that promote the homogenous mixing of the components.
It is possible to determine the speed of the agitators and the direction of movement in order to be able to adapt them to the different consistencies of the materials to be mixed and ensure an optimal result.
Applications:
Agitators are used in many sectors, e.g. the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries to mix liquid or powder substances in production processes, etc.
OUR GEARED MOTORS FOR AGITATORS and STIRRERS
The Automec planetary agitator gearmotor model makes it possible to optimise the mixing process by offering several advantages and specific functions. How an agitator geared motor works:
The planetary gear motor precisely transmits the rotary motion from the motor to the agitator. This enables accurate speed and torque control during mixing.
Thanks to the high output torque, typical of planetary geared motors, it is also possible to ensure the mixing of substances that require significant force to mix particularly dense or viscous materials.
Specific applications:
These geared motors are widely used in candy stirrers, motorised stirrers for various industries and in applications requiring efficient and precise mixing.
In summary, the use of a planetary gear motor for an agitator guarantees efficient motion transmission, high torque and advanced control, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring high performance and precision mixing.
Operation of the geared motor:
The geared motor contains gears positioned concentrically in order to allow for variations in speed and torque. It is mainly composed of a sun pinion, i.e. a central fixed point around which the other gears rotate; a planetary pinion, i.e. a gear that rotates around the sun pinion; and a ring gear outside the other gears and connected to the motor output. Through the combination of these gears, it is possible to obtain different output speeds to that of the motor. Furthermore, by adjusting the ratios between the gears, it is possible to control the output torque.
LABORATORY AGITATORS and AUTOMEC MOTOR DRIVERS
Laboratory agitators are essential tools for mixing substances in laboratories of various disciplines, offering the possibility of creating homogeneous mixtures for analysis and experimentation. These instruments are widely used in fields such as chemistry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology and others.
In the laboratory agitator, the planetary gear motor is an essential tool as it offers an efficient and versatile drive mechanism. This type of gearmotor is based on the planetary gear principle, which allows for a variation of speed and torque according to the needs of the application.
Our gearmotors for agitator and stirrers are designed for efficient and quiet operation, which is necessary for sensitive applications such as scientific research and chemical analysis.
Due to their internal configuration, planetary gearmotors offer high precision in speed and torque control, which is essential for accurate results in mixing and stirring processes.
The robust construction and advanced design of the planetary gearmotors guarantee a long service life with minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and ensuring continuity in laboratory operations.
Finally, planetary geared motors are widely used in laboratory agitators for:
Homogeneous Mixing: Ensure uniform mixing of liquid or solid substances, which is essential for obtaining reproducible results in chemical analyses:
Controlled agitation: Allows the speed and power of the agitator to be precisely regulated, adapting to different experimental requirements.
In conclusion, the use of planetary gearmotors in laboratory agitators is a worthwhile investment to ensure optimal performance, reliability and precision in scientific research and analysis.
AUTOMEC GEARMOTORS FOR ROTARY AGITATORS
A rotary agitator uses a three-dimensional rotary motion designed for the homogeneous mixing of liquid or solid substances. It consists of a platform that rotates continuously, allowing even distribution of the cells or solutes in the container. Its speed and stirring angle can be adjusted. This allows flexibility in the mixing operation.
Automec’s DC planetary gearmotors, series EP35, are successfully used in rotary agitators. They are available with voltages of 12 or 24 volts and 9 or 12 watts. They feature permanent lubrication, with no maintenance required. https://www.automecsrl.it/sheet/motoriduttori-serie-ep35/
