Abstract

Agitation field find its application along wide range of industries like food, cosmetics, chemical and pharmaceutics etc. Agitation is putting into motion by shaking or steering to achieve mixing. Certain processing operations, such as blending, dispersion gas absorption, crystallization etc., need agitation of liquids. In such operations agitator system has to be provided along with the basic equipment. The basic equipment may be a tank, a reaction vessel, a kettle or a crystallizer. Selection of an agitation system will depend on nature of liquid, operating condition and the intensity of circulation and shear. A variety of agitation systems are available, each one having a useful operating range. The aim of project is to design a slow speed agitator for a chemical mixing system. Agitation refers to the induced motion of homogeneous material in specified way. This project is based on design, manufacturing and testing of chemical agitator. The machine consist of two main group in which first one is power transmitting group and second one is agitating group. Power transmitting group consisting of electric motor, gear box, bearing etc, while agitating group consist of impeller shaft ,impeller blades and mixing chamber carrying chemicals as agitating group is continuously in contact with chemical. So it is design to operate in such environment. The electricity is supplied to electric motor which runs at 1440 rpm. The desired speed of impeller in mixing chamber is 50 rpm. So gearbox is used for speed reduction. Bearing holds gearbox and the impeller shaft is directly connected to the worm gear with help of rectangular key arrangement so that coupling is eliminated. Due to such type of arrangement, the cost of the unit is reduced up to 25% to 30% and the efficiency is also increased as compared to old type of agitators.
