MIXERS Tank Car Mixers
"With Cleveland Eastern Mixers tank car mixers, we are able to heat the material much more quickly. That means less down-time in our process."
- Raja Matthew, Akzo Nobel

A tank car mixer is used to blend contents of a tank car directly in the car, rapidly and efficiently.

Constructed in 316 grade stainless steel, the mixer is fitted with a mounting flange to bolt directly to the car's man-way

The Cleveland Tank Car Mixer features a specially designed propeller rotating inside a draft tube. The propeller draws fluid from openings in the side of the housing and forces it through a bi-directional elbow at the bottom. The elbow divides the discharge flow, imparting a powerful lateral movement to the fluid, for complete mixing and uniform heat transfer.

The flow pattern produced by the mixer incites motion even in remote recesses of the tank-car. Motors driving the shaft directly via flexible couplings are rated at 5, 7.5 or 10 hp, operating at 1750 rpm. Three heavy-duty bearings align and support the shaft at specific locations along the draft tube. The lower bearing is lubricated by the contents of the tank, whereas the top bearing handles the propeller thrust load.

A lifting eye located at the top of the mixer frame makes installation and removal easy. A clamp is provided to fasten the mounting flange and prevent fumes or odors escaping.
