AMO
Designed complying with FDA rules for pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The major advantage is that enables the total integrity of the tank. The transmission with magnetic torque avoids the occurrence of cross contamination between product and external environment, a typical problem of the use of devices with mechanical seals (shafts, seals and other equipment). Suitable for high viscosities, offers great flexibility. The bottom mounting allows to keep clear the tank from any other body, such as shafts from the top and baffles, thus easening vessel access, cleaning and maintenance.
- Speed range 500 to 3000 rpm using an inverter (*), depending on the size of vessel and impeller-head, small volumes can be achieved;
- (looking from the top, impeller always must rotate clockwise).
- All product contact parts are made in 1.4404 or 1.4435;
- All wetted surfaces are easily cleaned in place;
- Aseptic design;
- The rotor head runs on a special grade tungsten carbide that has been manufactured under controlled conditions to achieve the correct size, grain structure and hardness.

Principle Of Operation :
A machined pad is welded into the bottom of the vessel (usually offset respect to the central axis). This design allows to dismount the drive unit and to sterilize the tank in an autoclave, meanwhile the same drive unit can be installed and operated in another vessel. The rotor head is running by a drive unit externally mounted. Inside the rotor head there is a ring of special magnets encapsulated in a 316L ss housing. The stator come, also, in unique piece from a round bar.
Performance :
The geometry of the impeller allows an excellent axial pumping flow and very high shear rate for different applications, especially for homogenizing, that means to transport one phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main continuous phase (typically liquid), with which it would normally be insoluble.
- Emulsifying: the process of dispersing one liquid into a second insoluble liquid, such as oil dispersed in water> Producing a small particle size necessary in order to achieve a stable emulsion.
- Dissolving: or downsizing application, dissolving in dispersing an insoluble or semi insoluble solid into a liquid. Downsizing is often desired to reduce the particle size of the solids to obtain a stable suspension.
- Suspending: is dispersing of solid particles into a liquid.
