KEST MIXER, KM
For outstanding mixing performance in critical pharma and biotechnology applications.
KEST MIXER, KM
The Kest Mixer is a magnetic coupled mixer. With its aseptic design and excellent mixing performance it has become a popular choice for critical pharma and biotech applications. The Kest Mixer KM range covers mixing volumes up to 22000litres. The Kest Mixer is designed for CIP/SIP applications. Easy operator handling of the drive unit is secured by our patented Kest-Lock Connection.
With our advanced Speed Sensor technology you will have reliable process control. The Kest Mixer KM range can be customised to perfectly fit your needs. We can modify the mixing head to mix to the last drop or manufacture the parts that have media contact in specific materials, please contact your reseller for a quote.
The Kest Mixer KM range is also available in an ATEX version, see a separate data sheet for more information. Kest has developed several product lines for various mixing applications and clean room needs. The KMS product line was developed for LAF applications and the Rapid Motion (RM) line for medium shear force generation. See separate data sheets on the other product lines in the Kest Mixer family or contact your reseller for more information. The Kest Mixer is a magnetically coupled mixer containing 4 modules, Mixing head, Male Post, Tank plate and Drive Unit. To secure the integrity of the tank, the tank plate is welded into the tank, the mixing head and drive unit are coupled through magnetic forces.
When installing the tank plate, make sure to use our welding tool and to follow the welding guidelines. Select the appropriate model, download the Kest Mixer selection guide as a support. For complex mixing applications contact your reseller for consultation. Decide upon optional drive unit features like a speed sensor, stainless steel cover or extension. You will find the order information, Ref. No., for each part in this data sheet.
PRODUCT KEY FEATURES
Perfect mixing result
After years of experience developing mixers this mixer will deliver a perfect mixing result over and over again.
Integrated speed sensor
The mixer is equipped with an integrated speed sensor that measures the speed of the mixing head, that the mixing head is in place and that it rotates in the right direction.
Full integrity of the tank
The magnetic coupling between the mixing head and drive unit ensures total integrity of the tank. All tank plates are FEM analyzed according to PED & ASME.
ZERO particle shedding
The robust bearing combination of Zirconium and Sic and the fine-tuned geometry, ensures no particle generation.
Mixing low level volumes
Due to the low building height of the mixer head along with a lot of wing area close to the bottom it can handle continues mixing of low levels.
Mixing to the last drop
The wings fixed position close to the tank bottom and the possibility to run the mixer during emptying of the tank, ensures full product recovery.
Minimize downtime
The low weight of the drive unit and our patented Kest-Lock connection ensures quick disconnection from the tank plate during maintenance.
