New EnSaLine hygienic agitators deliver energy savings for hygienic processes in the food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and home and personal care industries. EnSaLine agitators feature the unique EnSaFoil impellers that deliver higher efficiency than comparable technologies. The exceptional efficiency cuts mixing time and reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, increasing productivity and providing a typical pay-back time of less than two years.  The EnSaFoil impeller design ensures gentle product treatment for high product quality and high yield. Inside the tank, the fully flushable design and the seal housing offer excellent cleanability and raise the bar for hygienic processing and product safety.  The new range of agitators offers connectivity functionality for predictive maintenance. Sensors continuously monitor operating conditions to help avoid unplanned downtime, optimize service intervals and ultimately extend service life of equipment. The EnSaLine platform is designed for simplified configuration and fast installation. Side-mounted and bottom-mounted agitator configurations are available. All EnSaLine seals and bearings are contained in one, replaceable cartridge to enable safe and easy maintenance. In addition, the unique EnSaLine shaft seal assembly reduces complexity and requires a minimal number of spare parts. Several of the innovative maintenance solutions have achieved patent protection. — Alfa Laval AB, Lund, Sweden
