Shaft
The shaft has been designed to minimize misalignment,
■ High Pumping ■ High Thrust deflection and vibration which all affect the mechanical seal
■ Minimum Power Draw ■ No Cavitation and bearing life. It is a one-piece component with no
■ Solid Reliability intermediate couplings and is ground between centres
at the bearing and seal areas. All shafts are engineering
hard-chrome plated in seal and shut-off areas. The range
Impeller Fixing of Plenty mixers has been designed for heavy duty
operation and the large diameter shafts have a first critical
Positive fixing and driving of the impeller on the shaft is
