We provide you with extensive risk analysis for each tripod agitator to consider all possible sources of danger. Thus, our whole range of tripod agitators is CE-certified
Mechanical safety equipment
The stand mixers can be protected against access to moving parts with a shaft protection sleeve when used in open tanks which are big enough or with a spring-suspended lid when the tanks are small or tanks with various heights are used. The lift way is covered by bellows and the mixing tank is clamped in mixing position or checked by a limit switch arm.
According to the customers’ requirements, the spring suspended lid could be supplied with level sensors, and various nozzles and hubs for filling.
