3.4.2 Agitator
Description
The contents of the disposable bag are stirred by an impeller. The impeller assembly is
a built-in feature of the disposable bag. The agitation is provided by a motor. The motor
and the impeller assembly are magnetically coupled. The agitator motor is rigidly attached
to the bottom of the mixer vessel.
The agitator motor can be controlled from the following locations:
•
XDM mixer: variable frequency drive
•
XDUO mixer: local control software, or from FlexFactory (if connected)
Function of the agitator
There are no openings in the disposable bag wall for agitation access. The impeller
baseplate is welded into the bottom of the disposable bag. The impeller baseplate is
connected to the agitator motor via magnetic coupling. The magnetic field holds the
impeller baseplate to the agitator drive head and transfers the rotational energy from
the agitator motor to the impeller inside the disposable bag.
