Tank Integrity Maintained
The Kest Mixer Tank Plate, machined from a solid bar and FEM-analyzed, meets PED and ASME pressure vessel codes. Welded securely into the tank, it ensures a contamination-free barrier for your media.
Full Product Recovery
Unique head design, with blades positioned near the tank bottom, ensures efficient mixing to the last drop while maintaining uncompromised cleanability. Its low-profile design and wide wing area make it ideal for continuous mixing, even at low liquid levels.
Zero particle Shedding
The Kest Mixer Tank Plate, machined from a solid bar and FEM-analyzed, meets PED and ASME pressure vessel codes. Welded securely into the tank, it ensures a contamination-free barrier for your media.
Reduced Downtime
The Kest Mixer’s patented Kest-Lock connection allows quick, secure disconnection of the drive unit for maintenance, simplifying reattachment with a spring-closed mechanism. Larger models feature a lowering device for easy mixing head inspection without removing the drive unit.
Full Process Control
The Kest Mixer can be equipped with an intelligent speed sensor system that monitors the mixing head’s movement, speed, and direction using magnetic fields. This ensures precise control and validation of your mixing process.
