INTRODUCTION
The type POD-I is a horizontal submersible mixer.
The unit is placed in the cross section of the liquid to obtain the required mixing.
During operation the mixer is locked by the guide pipe to obtain stability.
The mixing takes place by means of an electric motor; a propeller is mounted on the motor shaft.
The oil filled oil chamber between motor and propeller provides cooling and lubrication of the mechanical seals.
The sealing system consists of two mechanical seals. The exterior seal separates the medium from the oil
chamber; the interior seal separates the oil from the motor casing.
The following pages describe the connection and the maintenance of mixers type POD-I.
Application:
This mixer is to be used for flow creation, mixing and homogenization of liquids with a high or low dry matter
content, like e.g. wastewater, sludge and paper pulp, as well as chemical liquids and manure. The mixer can be
placed in square and circular tanks and is to be applied only fully submerged below liquid level.
If the mixer is to be applied for other purposes, contact Landia for advice.

another way, e.g. by means of a cable mesh.
