“LSPM motor efficiency is significantly higher compared to corresponding 12-pole mixer motors,” says Andreas Lindberg, product manager mixers. “This type of mixer can be line-started, and features both an induction cage and magnets in the rotor itself.”

Its hybrid motor, he continues, offers the high efficiency of synchronous permanent magnet technology. Patents are pending.

With a thrust range of 1,000-3,000 newtons, applications for the Flygt 4650 LSPM will include biological wastewater treatment, denitrification and sludge handling, along with mud drilling, agriculture and much else.

The Flygt 4650 LSPM is the result of the research and development at the company over the years. LSPM technology has hitherto been used for other applications, “and now we’re offering the market the benefits of an LSPM motor in a compact mixer,” says Lindberg. The field testing in Europe has provided excellent results in terms of efficiency and durability.
