Component Specifications

Definition
The Agitator Mounting Flange/Nozzle is a critical interface component designed to connect an agitator assembly to a mixing chamber or tank. It provides a structurally sound mounting point that maintains precise alignment between the agitator shaft and the vessel, while ensuring a leak-proof seal to prevent product contamination or loss. This component typically includes a flange for bolted connection to the tank wall and a nozzle section that accommodates the agitator shaft, often incorporating sealing mechanisms like mechanical seals or packing glands.
Working Principle
The flange/nozzle assembly creates a rigid, sealed connection between the agitator and mixing vessel. The flange distributes mechanical loads from the agitator across the tank wall, while the nozzle provides a precisely machined passage for the agitator shaft. Sealing elements prevent fluid leakage, and alignment features ensure the agitator operates concentrically within the vessel for optimal mixing performance.
Materials
Typically constructed from stainless steel (AISI 304, 316, or 316L for corrosion resistance), carbon steel with protective coatings, or specialized alloys like Hastelloy for aggressive chemical environments. Gaskets are often made from FDA-approved elastomers (EPDM, Viton) or PTFE for food/pharmaceutical applications.
Technical Parameters
  • Nozzle Height 100-300 mm
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for sanitary applications
  • Flange Diameter 150-600 mm
  • Pressure Rating Up to 10 bar
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C
Standards
ISO 2852, DIN 11851, ASME B16.5
