Glasslined agitators with Cryo-Lock
connection system
Reasons for Cryo-Lock:
Tendency to reactors with small openings
Problem: Assembly of one-piece impellers
Former solution: Divided designs
Disadvantages:
Complicated constructions (expensive designs)
Limited divisibility (mixing technology)
Reduced safety in operation at the joints
(tightness, power transmission)
New solution: Cryo-Lock Principle!

The Cryo-Lock Principle
Shrink-on connection between a fully glasslined agitator shaft
and the fully glasslined hub of the turbine
Gasket-free, corrosion-resistant, detachable agitator connection
Connection system
Supercool shaft by applying liquid nitrogen (-196 °C):
Shrinkage
Plug on or remove the agitator hub
Let agitator warm up to room temperature
Shrink-on fit

5.

The Cryo-Lock Principle
Demand on the connection: transferable
torque at least 8 times higher than the
max. admissable operating torque
Required tolerances are achieved through
honing of the shaft end and the agitator
hub
Principle can be applied to practically all
agitator types that can be glasslined

The advantages of Cryo-Lock
Safety in operation
Increased safety in operation by
elimination of divided reactors resp.
assembly opening
Use of BE-type vessels with manhole
as biggest opening
i.e. saving of 2.5 m gasket length for a
BE 6300 compared to a CE 6300
Benefits:
higher vessel resistance to pressure
reduced leakage rates
use of asbestos-free gaskets
lower risk to incrustations at gaskets
gasket-free connection agitator/shaft

The Advantages of Cryo-Lock
Cost reduction during operation & service
Increased availability through reduction of the
down times and easy service
rapid exchange of agitators without removing the
agitator shaft, drive, mechanical seal
all agitator types and the agitator shaft can be
removed through the manhole.
improved process results through wide variety of
agitator shapes.
reduced storage requirements through sharing of
agitators and different applications.
easy handling and transport.

The Advantages of Cryo-Lock
Flexibility
Adaption of the agitators to the requirements of the
process through comprehensive agitator range
more agitator shapes
all agitator shapes can be combined on a single
shaft
BE reactors with Cryo-Lock have enough room for
additional or larger nozzles
