The BHD Mixer offers easy maintenance and extended durability for up to 500,000 gallon applications. This mixer is ideal for typical mixing requirements – high bending and thrust loads on the output shaft, reliable round-the-clock operation, and absolutely no leakage of gear lubricant into the product being mixed.
BHD mixers are engineered and built specifically to handle the unique and demanding requirements of mixing applications. The spiral bevel/helical gear reducer is designed for the tough mixing requirements in industries like chemical processing, food processing, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, power generation, mining and wastewater treatment.
Engineered for smooth, quiet operation and long, trouble-free service life, the BHD Series provides the optimum in mixer service: spiral/bevel gearing for the greatest efficiency in power transmission and speed reduction. The BHD series is available in 7 case sizes, with a range from 1 to 200 horsepower, and turbine speeds from 16 to 230 RPM. It also features generous over-hung load capacities in every model. Gearing is combination AGMA Class #10 helical and spiral-bevel gearing for highest drive efficiency designed specifically for mixer service. Gear reducers meet ISO 9001 standards and are rated in excess of the AGMA 6010 standard. A rugged housing withstands the stresses of mixing and maintains accurate component alignment.
Additional Features
Like all Cleveland Top & Side Entry Mixers, a wide variety of impeller designs, motors, and closed tank seals are offered to meet your exact process requirements.
The BHD mixers are supplied for both open and closed vessels.
Mountings
For open tank models, a fabricated steel base supports and aligns the foot mounted motor to the gear reducer. The rigid base is designed to prevent flexing when mounted to support beams over the top of the vessel. Cleveland Mixer will provide technical recommendations for beam size and methods of securing the drive base.
For closed tanks, the motor and gear reducer are secured to a barrel or pedestal support. The bottom of the pedestal is fitted with either a 150# or 300# standard IPS flange sized to mate with your tank nozzle. Within the pedestal mounting is your choice of a sealing device – mechanical, packing or vapor seal.
Couplings
The BHD Series includes a high speed flexible coupling between the motor and gear reducer. A welded flange connection is offered on the output shaft. A removable coupling, either straight bore, or taper bored, is standard with a mechanical seal or stuffing box. Either of the above can be furnished as an in-tank coupling to facilitate installation of long shafts.
