Ivm series top entry heavy-duty reducers are manufactured by industrial gear corporation. These heavy duty reducers are the next dimension in mixing technology. The mixer [reducer] systems meet all process industries requirements. Following are some of the constructional features of these heavy-duty reducers which include: the ivm series reducers consist of major parts, like housing: the rigid robust construction of close ci casting allows the incorporation of the integral mounting feature. Gears are high efficiency case hardened and lapped spiral bevel and fine pitch helical gears are used in ivm series reducers. For a majority of applications ,the simple speed change facility can handle different output speeds. Large diameter taper roller bearings on output shafts can easily accommodate the unique loading of alligator service and have long bearing life. The high-speed input shaft is designed to metric standards thus ensures the fiting of all standard transmission couplings will fit without modification. The solid output shaft with coupling provides exceptional rigidity at the bevel gear mesh, hence in tank shafts [impeller] deflection are reduced to a minimum. Some special features of these heavy-duty reducers include: these reducers are designed to have higher reducer efficiency, longer gear life and bearing life with full mechanical integrity, reliability and outstanding performance over conventional worm gear drives. The reducers eliminate sliding friction of old conventional worm gear drives and heat build up that result.
