Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Houston PolyTank mixer mount engineering | Mixer mounts engineered for torque/load with no external ground support needed; custom mixer openings for large-scale agitation; vertical or side-entry agitator support structures | Houston PolyTank — Website (Applications, Industries, Accessories) |
| Grovhac Series 400 (C-Clamp Mount) HP range | 1/4-3 HP, direct or gear drive, shaft support bearing | Grovhac — Industrial Mixers |
| Grovhac Series 770 (Flange Mount) HP range | 1/2-3 HP, gear drive only, low-headroom 90° gear reducer for high-viscosity process materials | Grovhac — Industrial Mixers |
| Grovhac impeller material options | Stainless steel coupling/shaft/impellers; 316 stainless steel 3-blade collapsible propellers available | Grovhac — Industrial Mixers |
Grovhac's own stated reason to spec an air motor over electric: air-driven agitators are inherently variable-speed and explosion-proof and "cannot burn out or overheat" — the real failure mode an electric-drive shaft faces when it stalls against viscous or settling media in a chemical-processing tank.
A mixer chosen on HP alone ignores what actually fails first in chemical-processing tank service: a viscous or settling media that stalls an electric-drive shaft. Grovhac's guidance to spec an air motor for that condition, paired with Houston PolyTank's mounts engineered for the resulting torque/load, is the difference between a mixer that lasts and one that burns out in month three.
