Reliable seals, designed, built and repaired in the UK to keep your pumps, mixers and rotating equipment running smoothly.

Mixer and Agitator Repair

Reliable mixer and agitator repair for heavy-duty industrial use

Mixers and agitators take a beating. Long shafts, heavy loads, constant movement, solids, viscous products and thermal cycling all put serious strain on the equipment. Over time, shafts wear, bearings loosen, housings distort and vibration increases.

Most mixers do not need replacing. A proper mixer repair or agitator repair brings the equipment back to full working condition and usually costs far less than buying new.

We repair all major mixer and agitator brands, including:

Winkworth

What our mixer and agitator repair service includes

Full stripdown and assessment

We dismantle the mixer or agitator completely and inspect every part. That includes the shaft, impeller, bearings, gearbox interface, mounting plate and seal housing. Nothing is left to guesswork. We identify the root cause of the problem and deal with it properly.

Shaft rebuilding or replacement

Mixer and agitator shafts often wear through long-term loading or misalignment. We straighten, rebuild or manufacture new shafts when needed, ensuring correct run-out and alignment so the equipment runs smoothly again.

Bearing and support repairs

Worn bearings and poor support create vibration that destroys seals and shortens equipment life. We replace bearings, correct bores, repair support frames and restore the stiffness the equipment is supposed to have.

Housing and frame repairs

Corrosion, wear and distortion often creep in over the years. We re-machine housings, repair damaged mounting plates and correct alignment so the mixer or agitator runs straight and stable.

Impeller and component repair

Impellers take damage from solids, incorrect clearances and abrasive duties. If needed, we rebuild, balance or replace worn impellers as part of the mixer repair or agitator repair.

Mixer and agitator seal repair: When the problem is the seal, not the mixer or agitator

Mixers and agitators wear their seals faster than most equipment due to shaft movement, vessel pressure changes and heavy loading. A proper mixer seal repair or agitator seal repair restores sealing performance and stops recurring leakage without replacing the entire assembly.

What the seal repair includes

We dismantle the seal, clean and inspect every part, re-lap the faces, replace elastomers and springs, correct distortion and restore tolerances. If the mixer or agitator suffers from misalignment, we factor that into the seal design so the problem does not come straight back.

Why choose mixer and agitator seal repair

A properly executed mixer seal repair or agitator seal repair performs exactly like a new seal and usually costs around 50 per cent less than replacement.
