MAGNETIC STIRRERS, MIXERS AND AGITATORS
Pdc manufactures a wide variety of magnetic stirrers for all of your stirring requirements. Uses include pharmaceutical R&D, laboratory operations, pilot plant development and chemical production. The Pdc magnetic stirrer system includes the magnetic drive, shaft, motor, belt, belt guard and agitator (or impeller). We offer many stirrer or impeller design choices, including flat or pitched blade, helical ribbon, anchor, and gas dispersion versions. Pdc also provides custom designed agitators.
Our technology assures leak-free, contamination-free and emissions-free mixing at high pressures and temperatures. It also protects the health of your personnel and the environment and ensures the integrity of your product. PUMA magnetic mixers or magnetic stirrers are an ideal choice when working with toxic, hazardous, highly corrosive or high-purity materials.
The operating concept for the PUMA magnetic mixer is surprisingly simple yet thoroughly effective. Drawing on proprietary technology, PDC utilizes a magnetic coupling between an outer magnet assembly - driven by a motor - and an inner magnet assembly, separated by the PUMA Drive tube. When the outer magnet assembly rotates the torque is magnetically transferred through the stationary drive tube to the inner magnets attached to the drive shaft.
BELT DRIVE VS DIRECT DRIVE
PUMA magnetic stirrers are quick and easy to maintain resulting in less down time and low operating costs. Within minutes, the PUMA Drive can be disassembled, for cleaning the drive tube and inner shaft or replacing the bearings, then reassembled without ever needing to touch the V-belt drive assembly. In contrast it is cumbersome and time consuming to perform the same service on a direct drive magnetic agitator.

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE
PDC Machines has refined the PUMA Drive magnetic mixer to the highest level of technical achievement and quality of construction. This results in a mixer requiring infrequent service, is simple to operate and maintain, and will provide many years of reliable low-cost operation. The advantages of the PUMA Drive magnetic agitator include:
•
Air-cooled drive tube isolates the heat of the vessel and removes the heat generated by the eddy
currents of the magnets to retain the torque rating of the drive during operation.
•
V-Belt Drive uses no rotary or mechanical seals, never needs lubrication, is simple to maintain.budge
•
Proprietary speed sensor technology directly and accurately measures the drive shaft rotation and
detects the event of a magnetic coupling failure
•
Fixed or Variable Speed Drives uses AC or DC motors for any electric service, or air-driven motors.
