Magnetic drive selection
Required torque, speed, product properties and operating temperature are checked against the coupling and motor arrangement.
Sealed high-hygiene mixing
Bottom-Entry Magnetic Mixing Tank
A compact bottom-mounted magnetic drive arrangement for high-hygiene processes, cleanable product contact and effective mixing at reduced liquid levels.
Quick answer
What this equipment is designed to do.
A bottom-entry magnetic mixing tank transfers torque through a containment boundary using magnetic coupling, avoiding a conventional rotating shaft penetration through the vessel wall. It is considered for high-hygiene duties, cleanability and useful low-level mixing.
Magnetic coupling changes the containment and maintenance approach, but it does not remove the need for careful process selection. Torque demand, viscosity, solids, operating level, temperature and cleaning cycle must remain within the selected mixer envelope.
Vessentra coordinates the vessel bottom, magnetic mixer, impeller clearance, drain outlet and service access. Product-contact materials and cleaning or sterilisation requirements are confirmed against the project specification.

Engineering configuration
Configured around your duty.
The equipment is developed from process inputs, operating conditions, cleaning requirements and site interfaces.
Bottom geometry
Mixer position, impeller clearance, outlet and drainability are coordinated to avoid conflicts and support cleaning.
Hygienic boundary
Product-contact materials, containment components and elastomers are selected for the medium and cleaning cycle.
Service access
Clearance beneath the vessel and removal paths are planned around installation and maintenance requirements.

Common questions
Answers for project planning.
How does a magnetic bottom-entry mixer work?
An external drive rotates magnets that transmit torque across a sealed containment boundary to the internal impeller, avoiding a conventional dynamic shaft penetration.
Is a magnetic mixer suitable for every viscosity?
No. Available torque, impeller size, speed, temperature and coupling design define the usable range. Product data must be reviewed before selection.
Why consider bottom-entry mixing at low liquid level?
Locating the impeller near the vessel bottom can maintain local circulation at lower levels, although the minimum effective level is specific to the tank and mixer geometry.
Can it be configured for pharmaceutical projects?
Yes, subject to the user requirement specification, materials, cleanability, sterilisation strategy, documentation and applicable project standards.
