The Alfa Laval ALTB top-mounted agitator is available in a variety of sizes to fit both atmospheric and pressurized tanks. The inclusion of a bottom support stabilizes the shaft and assures its consistent operation. You can expect excellent power usage because to the wide range of size possibilities. ALTB agitators are designed for simple CIP and can be adjusted for usage in sterile/aseptic environments.
We provide variants for sterile/aseptic applications as well as optional equipment for all ALTB top-mounted agitators, such as a welding flange, a blind flange, a motor/gear cover, and a replacement parts package. Material certificates are available upon request.
ALTB
Our top-mounted agitator with bottom support ALTB provides the same solutions as the ALT but with greater mechanical freedom. Depending on the size of the agitator, a bottom support may yield a more cost-effective solution. The Alfa Laval bottom support is designed to be sanitary and easy to clean.

Construction
Based on a modular design, Alfa Laval agitators consist of a drive unit with bearing frame, shaft with special shaft seal arrangement, and bi- or tri-lobe energy-saving airfoil impellers.
Operating principle
An electrical motor (drive unit) transmits the energy required for mixing and blending, either directly or via a gearbox, to the agitator shaft. The shaft rotates, turning the specially designed Energy Saving Foil impellers. The impeller movement creates a high flow with low shear due to the highly effective axial pumping effect on the liquid in the tank. This results in effective mixing and blending of the entire contents of the tank.
Optional equipment
Alfa Laval also offers agitator models for sterile/aseptic applications and optional equipment, including welding flange, blind flange, cover for motor/gear and spare part kit, for its range of agitators.
