Mixer Maintenance
Industrial Mixer and Agitator Maintenance: End-to-End Mechanical Revamp and Overhaul
Heavy-duty mixers and kneaders, which ensure the homogenization of highly viscous raw materials in sectors such as chemicals, construction chemicals, plastics, mining, and food & beverage, operate continuously under high torque and mechanical friction. Over time, these severe operating conditions lead to serious wear and performance losses in bearing systems (bearings/seals), reducer gears, and agitator shafts. At DRS Makina, industrial mixers in your facility that have lost their efficiency, suffered corrosion, or become inoperable are subjected to comprehensive maintenance (overhaul), completely restarting both the mechanical and aesthetic service life of the machinery.
Before/After: Flawless Transformation Heavy industry mixers that have completed their service life are transferred to our workshops and entirely dismantled in the initial stage. Heavy rust accumulated over the years, chemical residues, and worn paint layers are completely removed using professional sandblasting methods, exposing the base metal. Through this process, potential cracks and metal fatigue on the body are detected, and the necessary welding overlay and machining operations (turning/milling) are executed.
Renewal of Electromechanical Systems and Drivetrains The primary elements determining the performance of a mixer are the power and drivetrain components. During our revamp process;
- Internal maintenance of heavy industry type electric motors and reducers (gearboxes) is performed, and oil and seal replacements are executed.
- Belt-pulley mechanisms ensuring power transmission and worn bearings are replaced with brand new spare parts complying with international quality standards.
- For safe operation, machine control panels (switchgear) and emergency stop (e-stop) buttons are integrated from scratch in accordance with occupational health and safety (OHS) norms.
Industrial Surface Protection and Quality Control Tests Upon completion of the mechanical revamp, the mixer body and chassis components are coated with special industrial paints (epoxy or polyurethane) resistant to harsh factory conditions, corrosion, and chemical spills, thus providing a long-lasting protective shield. Agitators, having completed all assembly procedures, are subjected to vibration, heating, and no-load tests in our workshop, after which they are delivered to your facility in a fully performant and reliable condition.
