Overview Side entry gear drive mixers are engineered for efficient blending and homogenization in large storage tanks where top entry solutions become impractical or cost-prohibitive. Widely used in crude oil storage, terminals, and bulk chemical tanks, these mixers deliver high flow with lower installed power by inducing horizontal circulation patterns across the tank floor. At MIXCO-LOTUS MIXERS , side entry units are designed for reliability, ease of maintenance, and opti

In industrial mixing, shaft design is one of the most critical—and often overlooked—factors in long-term equipment performance. At MIXCO – LOTUS MIXERS, proper shaft engineering is fundamental to delivering reliable, process-driven agitators. One key principle we emphasize is operating the shaft speed below 65% of its first critical speed. Understanding First Critical Speed The first critical speed is the rotational speed at which a shaft naturally resonates. At this point, e
