The magnetically-coupled turbine floats during operation at up to 490 rpm. The unit is optimized for cleaning and sterilization, with no mechanical seals or stuffing boxes to pose contamination risks. In between batches, a clean-in-place (CIP) tube and spray ball assembly lower into the vessel. Both the vessel and jacket are ASME Code-stamped and board-certified. All wetted parts are stainless steel 316L.
