MAG 100 Magnetic mixer

The MAG 100 (specifically the Sunkaier MAG 100) is an industrial magnetic drive mixer designed primarily for high-reliability, leak-free applications in industries such as edible oil, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing.

Core Design Features

• Sealless Magnetic Drive: The most prominent feature is the elimination of mechanical seals. This ensures zero leakage and 100% containment of fluids, making it ideal for hazardous, toxic, or high-purity materials.
• Bearing Technology: It utilizes sliding bearings made from Silicon Carbide (SiC), one of the hardest known materials, which provides high durability in wet environments.
• Mounting Configurations: It is designed for side or bottom entry applications, allowing for flexible installation in various tank types, including large storage tanks.

Technical Specifications

• Operating Conditions: Can handle design pressures up to 350 bar and temperatures up to 600°C in specialized hermetic reactor versions.
• Materials of Construction (MOC): Wetted parts are available in 316L Stainless Steel, Hastelloy C, Zirconium, Inconel, and Titanium.
• Speed & Power: Capable of speeds up to 1440 RPM and torque up to 5000 N-m.
• Sanitary Standards: Wetted surfaces are typically polished to a roughness of Ra ≤ 0.5 μm to meet pharmaceutical and food-grade requirements.

Key Advantages

• Minimal Maintenance: Because there are no mechanical seals to wear out, maintenance costs and downtime are significantly reduced compared to traditional mixers.
• Product Integrity: Prevents contamination from external sources or leaking seal lubricants, which is critical for edible oils and biopharmaceuticals.
• Process Efficiency: The design facilitates even heat distribution and homogeneity in large tanks, helping to prevent sludge formation in materials like palm oil.

Maintenance & Safety (Industrial Models)

• Avoid Dry Running: Industrial magnetic mixers must never be operated when the vessel is dry, as the process fluid is required to lubricate the bearings. Operating dry can cause sudden temperature rises and bearing failure.
• Magnetic De-coupling: If the mixer runs too fast for the process conditions, the mixing head may "de-couple" from the magnetic field, causing vibration and potential damage to the ceramic bearings.
• Inspection: Regular professional inspection is recommended every 12 months, with basic cleaning and internal checks every 6 months.
