Mixers have become standard equipment in the process industries. Their application in continuous fluid processing is an attractive alternative to conventional agitation since a better performance can often be achieved at lower cost. Moreover, they typically have lower energy consumption and reduced maintenance requirements because there are no moving parts in this type of mixer. Solids may also be mixed by repeated division and recombination in static mixers, as long as they are free-flowing. Static solids mixers are normally vertically aligned, so that solids flow occurs downward under gravity.
Lithium batteries are becoming more prevalent within the material handling industry. Lithium batteries can provide a better total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to their lead-acid battery counterparts. Although the upfront costs of lithium batteries are considerably higher than lead acid batteries, lithium batteries provide a 2-3 times longer lifespan and many other improvements.
Cost Savings & Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Lithium forklift batteries last 2-3 times longer than lead-acid batteries, therefore cost savings end up being substantial over the much longer life span of the battery. The initial cost of lead-acid forklift batteries is less expensive than the upfront costs of lithium alternatives. But when you factor in the hours of maintenance, impact on productivity and overall battery lifespan, lithium-ion batteries provide a far lower total cost of ownership. Larger forklift fleets powered by li-ion batteries will see a ROI much quicker, while operations running single shifts or with a smaller fleet are unlikely to see the cost benefits of lithium batteries.
Longer Run Time
Lithium batteries offer a much longer run time compared to lead-acid batteries with no decline in performance as the battery discharges. Multi-shift applications and 24/7 material handling operations can benefit from the longer run times of li-ion batteries because they replace the need for cumbersome battery changeouts which reduce productivity.
Longer Lifespan
Lithium-Ion Batteries last significantly longer than lead-acid batteries. Lithium batteries typically have a service life in excess of 3000 cycles. On the other hand, lead-acid batteries can have their lifespan impacted by improper maintenance and usage, which can lower the lifespan of the battery below 1500 cycles.
Longer Warranties
Lithium batteries are maintenance free and are covered by longer warranties compared to lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries must be maintained in accordance battery manufacturer’s specifications to remain in compliance with their warranty.
Zero Maintenance
Lithium batteries do not require battery watering, equalization, cool-down time, or acid adjustments; therefore, lithium batteries are nearly maintenance free. Lithium batteries maintenance-free technology will eliminate the need to have personnel dedicated to maintaining your batteries, and thus reduce labor costs.
Faster & More Efficient Charging
Lithium batteries require less power to charge to completion and also don’t have to be charged as frequently, thereby reducing energy use and cost. Recharge efficiency of 98%+ drives electrical savings and reduces damaging effects of heating batteries.
No Battery Changeouts
Lithium batteries are more energy efficient and eliminate the need for battery changes. These batteries are designed for opportunity charging and have a high cycle life, therefore battery swapping is not needed.
