FTD agitators
The FTD type mixer is a series of small mixers varying in shaft diameter from 25 mm to 50 mm. This type of mixer is more or less a standard design, however can be customized with a variety of motor brands, with or without coaxial gearbox. This type of mixer is specially designed for the higher operational speeds (>250 rpm) and can be delivered up to a shaft length of 3000 mm. The shafts are supported by two spherical roller bearings, which are lifetime lubricated (L10> 40.000 hrs) and coupled to the motor or gearbox through a flexible coupling.
This design of mixer which operates at speeds above 250 rpm is very suitable for mixing of different liquids, dissolving of solids in liquid, dispersion and emulsifying duties.

JDR agitators
Jongia’s direct driven mixer type JDR is an innovatively designed top flange agitator for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. It is a mixer without gearbox, so there is no oil/lubricants leakage which could contaminate your product. The mixer shaft is directly fitted directly into the drive, eliminating the need for an extra shaft coupling. The JDR is a strong and practically maintenance-free mixer which makes it a perfect solution for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industry. It is suitable for frequency converter controlled operation.
This design of mixer is very suitable for mixing of different liquids, dissolving of easy soluble solids in liquid, dispersion and emulsifying duties.

L agitators
The L type mixer, fitted with an E-motor gearbox assembly, is applicable for a wide range of light and medium duty industrial applications. To guarantee the best solution for your mixing process the L type agitator can be equipped with a large variety of mixing elements range from simple marine propeller to special designed helical ribbons. Due to the large range of mixing elements this type of mixer can be used for many processes.
This design of mixer is very suitable for mixing of different liquids and dissolving of solids in liquid.

Do I need a Bottom Bearing for my agitator?
Do I need a Bottom Bearing? The installation of a bottom bearing is not mandatory. While it offers certain advantages, there are also drawbacks to consider. It is important to note that the bottom bearing functions more as a displacement
Fermentation & Bioreactor Mixing Process
Bioreactors and Fermenters are culture systems to produce cells or organisms. They are used in various applications, including basic research and development, and the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, food and food additives, chemicals, and other products. A broad range of cell types and organisms can be cultivated in bioreactors and Fermenters, including cells (like mammalian cell lines, insect cells, and stem cells), microorganisms (like bacteria, yeasts, and fungi), as well as plant cells and algae. The words “Bioreactor” and “Fermenter” are basically the same thing.
Biodiesel blending with zero leakage!
Fuel blending is a critical component of biodiesel production. A properly blended fuel can increase energy efficiency, reduce emissions and improve performance. However, it can be difficult to achieve consistent fuel quality during blending due to differences in storage tanks,
