LeviMag UltraPure
The Alfa Laval LeviMag® UltraPure is an aseptic magnetic mixer that uses a patented levitating impeller and advanced design to mix down to the last drop and maximize product yield. Compact, energy-efficient and easy to maintain, it is perfect for biotech, pharmaceutical and demanding hygienic and sterile applications such as those involving serums, vaccines, plasma fractions, bacteria and cell cultures, and APIs.
Superior hygiene, optimized operation
- Optimized flow for higher efficiency and more gentle product treatment
- Mixing down to the last drop for maximum yield due to low agitation and dry-running capability
- Optimized Cleaning-in-Place thanks to full drainability
- Minimized downtime due to ease of maintenance
- Comprehensive documentation for full traceability of the entire supply chain
How it works
The magnetic mixer transmits the required torque by means of magnetic coupling. The magnetic coupling consists of two sets of permanent magnets and a weld plate that separates the magnet sets. One set of magnets is mounted in the impeller (1) and the other set in the rotor (6). When the rotor revolves by means of the gear drive, the interaction between the two sets of magnets creates a magnetic coupling, which strenghting the rotation of the impeller. To avoid loss of magnetic coupling, it is necessary to gradually ramp up the rotation by means of a frequency inverter. The typical ramp up time is approximately 30 seconds. The frequency inverter is also used to adjust the speed.
Since the magnetic field couples across an air gap and through the weld plate(4), the tank is not compromised and therefore does not require a seal. This eliminates the risk of leakage and product contamination.
