Top entry Mixers X8-X8A Series

The X8/X8A series agitators are the workhorses of our product line.

The X8A configuration is a hollow quill design with independent bearing support similar to the Lightnin Series 80 gearbox. The advantage to the hollow quill is the ability to handle extreme loads on the shaft/impeller while the independent bearing isolates the loads away from the gearbox.

The standard X8 configuration is similar to the Lightnin Series 70 and the Chemineer HT.

• X8/X8A gearboxes can be configured as a hollow quill design with an independent bearing (similar to the Series 80 by Lightnin) or with a stub shaft or stub shaft configuration like the Lightnin Series 70/ Chemineer HT.
• Both configurations are right angle drives which is ideal for low head room constraints
• Drywell design prevents leakage of lubrication oil
• Splash lubrication allows for cooler operations and fewer required oil changes
• Available in standard models from speeds of 37.5 to 250 rpm and up to 500 HP
• The X8/X8A gearboxes utilize hardened helical and spiral bevel gear sets.
• For easy maintenance, the gears are easily accessed through a large change gear cover.
• All of our gearboxes include a view port . Unlike competition’s “sight glass” which is typically 1/2” dia. for oil level observation we supply a view port to see what is taking place in your gearbox.
• Tapered roller bearings with L-10 service rating higher than 100,000 hours
• Standard high quality finish of a coating of catalyzed polyurethane finish for indoor and outdoor installations.
