Industrial agitators are key components in numerous production processes. From the chemical industry to the food and pharmaceutical industries, the function of an agitator is to mix or dissolve under controlled pressure and temperature conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Lidering, we know that an industrial agitator cannot operate reliably without a sealing system designed to withstand certain conditions. That is why we explain the different types of mechanical seals and how we can customise mechanical seal solutions<\/strong> for any type of industrial agitator.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge of sealing in an industrial agitator<\/b><\/h2>\n

An industrial agitator is an almost indispensable element in a factory or industrial plant. And, although there are many types of agitators depending on their type, functions and complexity<\/strong>, in many cases they work in the same way. It is a tank or vessel into which different substances are poured and stirred by a system of rotating blades to promote mixing. These mixtures must be kept under controlled pressure and\/or temperature conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that a mechanical seal is required that can work against pressure in agitators. Depending on the product, pressure, temperature variations or strict hygiene requirements, a specific mechanical seal model will be needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Different seal models for different industrial agitators<\/b><\/h2>\n

As manufacturers of mechanical seal solutions for the process industry, we understand the needs of all industries and know which industrial mixer agitator model is most effective in each case.<\/span><\/p>\n

LMS28: the mechanical seal for agitators<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the simplest and highest-performance mechanical seal options is the LMS28 mechanical seal model, a balanced seal specifically designed to operate against back pressure in agitators capable of working at high pressures of up to 15 bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its key features include:<\/span><\/p>\n
