Alfa Laval LeviMag
Alfa Laval LeviMag is an aseptic magnetic mixer that ensures maximum product yield by mixing to the last drop using a revolutionary levitating impeller and innovative design.
It is compact, energy-efficient, easy to maintain, effectively mixes and dry-runs at low speeds. This ensures that the product is treated gently while mixing at high rates. This enhances the process’s capacity to handle a wide range of fluid types and mixing duties.
The low-speed rotation and an open design during cleaning further heighten the efficiency of any residue removal and reduce any possibility of contamination by eventual wear particles. All that leads to a rapid return on investment and to the maximum possible product yield in containers up to 30-40,000-liter capacity.
It is supported by Alfa Laval Q-doc, a comprehensive documentation package that assures full transparency across the supply chain.
The Alfa Laval LeviMag magnetic mixer can mix liquids efficiently in a host of processes in the dairy, food, beverage, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and other industries requiring sterile or aseptic storage/processing conditions.
Industries:
- Beverage Processing
- Dairy Processing
- Food Processing
- Personal Care
Benefits:
• Minimum product loss, maximum efficiency in the process
• Optimal flow with reduced energy consumption and enhanced efficiency
• Mix to the last drop for maximum yield with low agitation and dry-running capability
• Optimized Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) with full drainability
• Lessened downtime by facilitating ease of maintenance
The Alfa Laval LeviMag consists of a detachable drive unit, levitating impeller unit with radial blades, seals, ceramic bearings, magnetic coupling, weld plate, and connections.
It is provided in five sizes, with mixing velocities ranging from 10 rpm to 800 rpm.
The working principle
The magnetic coupling generates torque, causing an impeller with radial blades to rotate inside the vessel. This rotation mixes the fluid within the vessel. The unique design of the Alfa Laval magnetic coupling ensures the impeller is always levitating, enabling complete drainability of process fluids from the reservoir and dry-running of the system.
This design ensures maximum yield by providing highly efficient mixing down to the last drop. It also facilitates complete cleaning of the mixer, allowing CIP liquids and steam to flow freely around all components. Impeller levitation further eliminates axial attrition, enhancing operational efficiency.
