SB Side Entry Agitators offer the same ruggedness, dependability, and simplicity of design found in our other high-quality turbine agitators and mixers. The SB agitator is a belt-driven unit with features engineered for side entry agitator service. The SB agitator works efficiently when a tank is too large for convenient installation of a top-entering agitator or where headroom is severely limited. Supporting a top-entering agitator on a large tank is often far more expensive than the installation of a side-entering agitator. Long shafts on extremely tall tanks can be eliminated for cost savings and design simplicity. For large tank installations, several smaller side-entering agitators may be more efficient and economical than a single, larger unit. The SB agitator is available in three standard sizes from 10 to 75 hp (7.5 to 55 kw). The range of power selections and seal options, combined with accurately sized impellers, means there is an SB agitator available for nearly every standard application. Consider SB Side Entry Agitators for process applications involving continuous blending, especially in large storage tanks and oil applications, heat transfer, mass transfer, or solids suspension. BELT-DRIVEN DESIGN The SB belt design includes synchronous sprockets and belts. These components deliver the torque required by the impeller to agitate the fluid in the vessel. The SB drive incorporates bearings which are located in the mechanical seal cartridge and near the belt sprocket to provide support for the shaft. The seal bearing minimizes shaft deflection in the seal area to improve seal performance and life.
