For decades, agitation has been known as an energy-intensive and maintenance-heavy processes in hygienic production. The new EnSaLine agitator platform from Alfa Laval is enabling manufacturers in the food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and home and personal care sectors to save time and operating costs from day one. The new EnSaLine range was designed from the ground up based on customer feedback.
Short service time
Fast and safe maintenance were focal points in the new agitator design. Difficult and time-consuming maintenance procedures with heavy lifting and safety concerns were common issues in customer feedback, therefore, effortless maintenance that can be carried out by one technician in less than 30 minutes was one of the top priorities for the design. Also there is no longer any need to enter the tank, which greatly improves safety during maintenance.
All EnSaLine seals and bearings are contained in one, replaceable cartridge to enable safe and easy maintenance. In addition, the EnSaLine shaft seal assembly reduces complexity and requires a minimal number of spare parts. Several of the innovative maintenance solutions have achieved patent protection.
High energy savings potential
The EnSaLine agitators feature the unique EnSaFoil impellers that deliver higher efficiency than comparable technologies. The exceptional efficiency cuts mixing time and reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, increasing productivity and providing a typical pay-back time of less than two years. The EnSaFoil impeller design ensures gentle product treatment for high product quality and high yield. Inside the tank, the fully flushable design and the seal housing offer excellent cleanability and raise the bar for hygienic processing and product safety. EnSaLine agitators are 3A certified, and all non-metallic parts are fully FDA-compliant.
Connectivity
The new range of EnSaLine agitators offers connectivity functionality for predictive maintenance. Sensors continuously monitor operating conditions to help avoid unplanned downtime, optimize service intervals and ultimately extend service life of equipment.
EnSaLine S Side Mounted agitator and EnSaLine B Bottom Mounted agitator are available now.
