For decades, agitation has been known as an energy-intensive and maintenance-heavy processes in hygienic production. The new EnSaLine agitator platform from Alfa Laval allows food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and home & personal care manufacturers to save time and operating costs from day one.

Said Christian Jørgensen, Global Portfolio Manager, Mixing, Alfa Laval: “The current fleet of hygienic agitators is ageing in many industries, and we wanted to offer a truly new and ground-breaking design that answers the need for effortless and efficient operation and maintenance. By listening to feedback from our customers we rethought agitator design from the ground up and created the new EnSaLine range that sets a new and future-proof benchmark in hygienic production, maintaining high efficiency, while adding new benefits.”

Fast and safe maintenance were focal points in the new agitator design.

Added Jørgensen: “Difficult and time-consuming maintenance procedures with heavy lifting and safety concerns were common issues in the customer feedback we received. Therefore, we designed EnSaLine agitators for effortless maintenance that can be carried out by one technician in less than 30 minutes. There is no longer any need to enter the tank, which greatly improves safety during maintenance.”

EnSaLine agitators feature the unique EnSaFoil impellers that deliver higher efficiency than comparable technologies. The exceptional efficiency cuts mixing time and reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, increasing productivity and providing a typical pay-back time of less than two years.

The impeller design ensures gentle product treatment for high product quality and high yield. Inside the tank, the fully flushable design and the seal housing offer excellent cleanability and raise the bar for hygienic processing and product safety.  For more visit alfalaval.com
