Agitators for Standard Tanks

Anchor-type agitators

Anchor-type agitators are principally designed to mix highly viscous products and non-Newtonian fluids, i.e., they lack a certain degree of viscosity because it depends on the temperature.

These agitators can be mounted in tanks with rounded or conical bottoms.

 Propeller-type agitators

Propeller-type agitators can be used for suspension, dispersion and homogenization processes with low-viscosity products, where it is important to operate at medium and high speeds.

These agitators can be mounted in tanks with rounded or conical bottoms.

Propellers are axial flow agitators, ideal for solid-in-liquid solutions or suspensions because they prevent solid particles from depositing on the bottom of the tank.

All propeller-type agitators can be accompanied by an anchor-type agitator.

Blade-type agitators

Blade agitators can be used in suspension, dispersion and homogenization processes with low- and medium-viscosity products. These agitators can be mounted in tanks with rounded or conical bottoms.

They operate at a low-moderate mixing speed with a peripheral velocity of 2 to 7 m/s. They can also be used for mixing liquids.

 Turbine-type agitators

Turbine agitators can be used in emulsification and dispersion processes which require operation at very high speeds. They are efficient across a broad range of viscosities with a highly effective mixing capacity.

 If the agitator is placed in the centre of the tank, depending on the type of product, the installation of a radial flow deflector could be necessary to ensure the best possible standards of mixing. This is not required if the agitator is off-centred.

Technical informations

The different types of anchor available: U-shaped anchor; Anchor with radial flow deflector; U-shaped anchor with blade;  Helical ribbon-type anchor; Loop-type anchor; Helical loop-type anchor

All propeller-type agitators can be accompanied by an anchor-type agitator (Marine propeler, Gamma propeler, Lineflux propeler).

Depending on the application, deflectors or flow deflector baffles can also be mounted in the tank (Inclined blades T6; Inclined blades T11; High flow blades; Blades on the central shaft).
