Flender gear units for chemicals and pharmaceuticals
Agitators and agitator tanks are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food processing applications.
The diversity of the application requirements and the media employed necessitate customized plant designs.
Flender gear units for chemicals and pharmaceuticals and agitators are normally vertically mounted to the agitator tank. In addition to transmitting torque, it also absorbs the axial and radial loads that occur as a result of the application’s specification. Flender gear units for agitators drives have a reinforced output shaft and rolling-contact bearings for this purpose.
Even in special cases with very high axial loads, FLENDER can supply gear unit solutions with an additional thrust bearings.

Reactors
The term “reactor” is used in the chemical industry to refer to special apparatus (e.g. a stirred tank reactor) in which educts are reacted to obtain a desired product.
The reactors for this kind of application are designed to meet very high process and safety standards.
Powders and suspensions such as pastes, doughs etc. are dried in a mixer-dryer-reactor. The drying process that takes place inside the reactor is often required to be rapid yet simultaneously gentle on the product.
Flender gear units for chemicals and pharmaceuticals and reactors therefore have a very high efficiency and produce only minimal vibration and noise. It should also be possible to monitor the complete gear unit.
