Agitator motors

explosive environments play it safe by choosing Pneumatic motors are the most robust and versatile drives available to designers and users today. They offer many advantages and the power-to-weight ratio is one of the main reasons to choose a pneumatic drive. Pneumatic motors have a power density that is significantly above that of almost any other motor: They are about 75% lighter and 85% smaller than asynchronous electric motors of the same power. Our pneumatic motors can be loaded to a standstill without any problems, even at full torque, and can be started and stopped any number of times without...

The LZL series of vane motors offer outstanding start-up behaviour and top performance even at low speeds. As the six vanes of an LZL motor are coupled in pairs and forcibly actuated, they hug the cylinder walls tightly at all times. This means the motor runs smoothly without any jerking, and ensures that air consumption is kept low. The motors are manufactured with very few moving parts and are extremely robust and durable. The models in the LZL 03 and 05 series are available as slow-running versions—specially designed for use in agitator motors and mixing plants—and as high-performance motors...

The LZL series of pneumatic vane motors are your ideal drive for agitators and mixing plants. Their large speed and torque range make them perfect for applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry, as well as for paints, coatings, dispersions and much more. • All LZL motors are supplied with vanes for oil-free operation • Double-sealed drive shaft for maximum reliability • The reinforced shaft bearing means there is no need to use or maintain additional support bearings • The patented ventilation in the area of the shaft seals increases their service life • Corrosion protection...

LZL high — performance motor Data at an operating pressure of 6.3 bar Oil-free motors The oil-free LZL motors are designed for maximum reliability at very low and medium speeds. As they do not need lubrication of the compressed air, the environment remains clean and there is no contamination from aerosols. These motors are ideal for such applications as agitators. To ensure cleanliness and hygiene, they use a double shaft seal. In addition, all components that come in contact with the media being mixed are made of corrosion-resistant material. The innovative design of the cylinder and highly...

The type LZL 05 motors are available in stainless steel versions. They have the same properties as the other lubricant-free motors. All external components including the drive shaft are made of stainless steel. This makes the motors corrosion-resistant and ideal for applications in the food industry, for agitators with corrosive media and the chemical industry. The motors come with explosion certification in compliance with ATEX directive EX II 2GD c T4 IICT110°C. The external components consist of stainless steel of quality ISO 683/Xlll type 17, SS 14 2346, DIN 17440 X 12CrNiS188. The drive...

LZB motors — compact and efficient The type LZB universal vane motors are compact, The special grease used for lubrication and preven- light and available at a wide range of transmission tion of friction losses in the rust-free motors cor- ratios. For this reason, they are particularly suitable for operation in agitators and mixing plants, but also 21CFR Sec. 178.3570, which means they can be used for many other applications. with confidence in the food industry. The main difference between these motors and the gearless LZL motors is the fact that the motor is combined with the Atlas Copco planetary...

The LZB 33 offers a power output of 380 watts and the four transmission levels permit torques of up to 40 Newton metres and idle speeds of up to 1180 RPM. Despite this high performance level, the air requirements for these conveniently small power packages with a mass of just 1.02 to 1.5 kg are only 8.1 litres per second. Motors in the LZB 33 series are extremely simple to integrate in components such as mixing containers or agitators: The standard Atlas Copco flange is the first standard solution that is suitable for the most common applications. There are also designs with a compact IEC flange....

Vane motors mix in the drum repository When it comes to dispensing, conveying and mixing paints and coatings, precision is key. The ingredients must be precise to the gram and must be suspended at defined speeds in order to counteract even minor tendencies to separate. Füll Systembau GmbH achieves this by using the new explosion-protected LZB agitator drives from Atlas Copco Tools. "I know that there is no all-purpose solution, but we are always looking for the safest and most efficient and durable solution for our customers". Sebastian Noll is quite uncompromising when he explains the philosophy...

Mixing systems with integrated explosion protection Füll prefers to use pneumatic drives from the LZB series for mixing the coatings in its plants. Unlike conventional electric motors, they are ATEX-certified. "Around 80 percent of our storage tanks and agitators are used in potentially explosive working environments, where there may be highly flammable solvent vapour, for example. With these pneumatic motors, we are on the safe side". The higher investment costs for electric motors when they are operated in potentially explosive environments—plus electrical installation—mean there are good reasons...

Simple handling and minimized energy requirements “By using these drives and through the customer-specific design of our agitators, we reduce their energy consumption by up to 60 percent”, says the very satisfied chemical engineer. In simple terms, this means a maximum consumption of only 8.1 l of compressed air per second in an uncompressed state compared to about 25 l/s for a 1000-W power unit that would otherwise conventionally be used. For a paint dispensing plant, which in some instances may have 24 or even more agitators, this means a significant reduction in operating costs for Füll customers....
