Built for Demanding Crude Oil Storage

The PV-Belt-Type Side Entry Mixer is engineered for reliable agitation of crude oil and various petroleum products in large storage tanks. Installed horizontally on the tank sidewall, it generates controlled flow circulation to maintain product homogeneity, ensure uniform temperature, and prevent sediment — particularly wax and heavy sludge — from settling on the tank floor.

Compared to top-entry mixers, side-entry installation requires no roof penetration, offers lower capital investment, and delivers equivalent or better circulation performance across a wide range of tank sizes. The PV belt drive further ensures smooth power transmission, quiet operation, and minimal maintenance.

Why Side Entry Mixing?

Large crude oil storage tanks face a persistent challenge: heavier fractions, waxes, and sediments tend to settle over time, creating stratification that affects product quality, custody transfer accuracy, and tank heating efficiency. A properly sized side entry mixer resolves this by maintaining continuous bulk circulation.

Prevent Sediment Buildup

Eliminates dead zones where sludge and wax accumulate on the tank floor.

Uniform Product Quality

Consistent density, viscosity, and composition throughout the tank.

Improve Heat Transfer

Ensures even heating across the tank, reducing energy waste and heating time.

Lower Installation Cost

No roof crane access needed; side mounting simplifies installation and maintenance.

Engineered for Reliability

PV Belt Transmission

Shock-absorbing, low-noise, easy to maintain.

Swing Angle Adjustable

Variable insertion angle covers more tank volume, eliminates dead spots.

Mechanical Seal

Reliable sealing for continuous tank-side operation; no leakage risk.

Compact Footprint

Side-wall mounting frees up tank roof space for other equipment.

Explosion-Proof Motor

Available for flammable petroleum media in hazardous areas.

Customizable Materials

Material selection matched to your medium, temperature, and corrosion conditions.

Low Static Generation

Minimizes static electricity buildup — critical for flammable oil storage.

Easy Maintenance

Drive unit and seal assembly accessible without emptying the tank.

Typical Specifications

Exact configuration depends on tank geometry, medium properties, and process requirements.

Materials of Construction

Comprehensive range of wetted-part materials to match your specific medium, temperature, and corrosion requirements.

Category Material Options
Carbon Steel Q235B, 45#
Carbon Steel with Lining Rubber, PO, PTFE, FRP, enamel
Stainless Steel 304 SS, 316L SS
Duplex / Super Duplex 2205 duplex SS, 2507 duplex SS
Special Alloys 904L Super Austenitic SS, 1.4529
All wetted components are custom-manufactured based on your working conditions, medium properties, and project specifications.

Swing Angle Adjustable Design

The variable insertion angle (swing angle) feature is specifically designed to combat sediment accumulation across the entire tank floor. By adjusting the mixer's rotation angle, the flow sweep covers a wider area, reaching tank corners and perimeter zones that fixed-angle mixers cannot effectively agitate.

Long-term Storage Tanks

Addresses gradual settlement risk in tanks that hold product for extended periods.

Variable Fill Levels

Maintains effective agitation regardless of current tank fill height.

Heavy Crude Service

Particularly valuable for waxy, high-asphaltene crude oils prone to solid deposition.

Six Key Functions in Petrochemical Service

1

Homogeneous Mixing — Ensure uniform composition throughout the vessel.

2

Gas Dispersion — Distribute gas evenly within the liquid phase.

3

Solid Suspension — Keep solid particles (such as catalyst) uniformly suspended.

4

Liquid-Liquid Dispersion — Suspend or fully emulsify immiscible liquid phases.

5

Mass Transfer — Improve interphase transfer processes such as absorption.

6

Heat Transfer — Maintain consistent temperature across the entire tank.
