LRO slow side-entry mixer: applications and selection
The LRO is the slow side-entry mixer in the Nuova Darimpianti range. Its shaft, in AISI 304-316 stainless steel or C45 steel coated with PP, PVC or PVDF, is keyed directly to the gearbox and supported by an aluminium lantern for medium or high loads with a bearing. A separator disc houses the seal, which keeps the mechanical parts isolated from the tank contents.
Compared with the fast LVO, the LRO runs at low speed with a four-blade impeller with inclined, straight or high-flow blades. It suits medium and high viscosity fluids and processes that need to move large volumes without excessive turbulence, where top mounting is not practical. Among our side-entry mixers, it is the one to consider for long tanks or horizontal vessels holding dense products.
- Flocculation in tanks without top access
- Neutralisation in horizontal vessels
- Polyelectrolyte preparation and storage
- Keeping solids in suspension
- Slow recirculation in large tanks
Frequently asked questions
Which impeller should I choose for the LRO?
The four-blade inclined impeller produces a mixed flow suited to flocculation and polyelectrolyte; the high-flow impeller moves large volumes with low shear, useful for recirculation and solids suspension. Straight blades add radial action. Impellers are made of AISI 304-316 stainless steel or PP, PVC, PVDF or PE-HD.
Which mechanical seals are available?
Internal or external seals, single or double cartridge, with or without flushing, made of ceramic, graphite, silicon, tungsten or Hastelloy. In a side-entry installation the seal works below the liquid level, so it has to be selected carefully for the fluid.
How do I choose between medium and high load?
The LRO aluminium lantern comes in medium-load and high-load versions. Our engineering team defines it from impeller size, fluid viscosity and tank geometry.
