THE INDUSTRIAL AGITATOR!
WHAT IS AN INDUSTRIAL AGITATOR?
An industrial agitator is a mechanical device usedfor mixing, blending, or maintaining uniformity of materials (liquid orslurry) in tanks. Its widely used in industries like chemicals,pharmaceuticals, food processing, water treatment, and paints.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
An industrial agitator works by rotating an impeller orblade inside a tank or vessel. The rotation creates fluid flow,which promotes:
CONSTRUCTION &MAIN COMPONENTS
TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL AGITATORS
Based on Mounting:
| Type | Description |
| Top Entry Agitator | Mounted on the top of the tank, ideal for large tanks. |
| Side Entry Agitator | Used for storage tanks with limited height. |
| Bottom Entry Agitator | Installed at the tank bottom, often for sanitary applications. |
Based on Agitator Design:
| Type | Application |
| Turbine Agitator | High shear mixing, gas-liquid dispersion |
| Propeller Agitator | Low-viscosity fluids |
| Paddle Agitator | Viscous fluids, gentle mixing |
| Anchor Agitator | High-viscosity mixing (paints, gels) |
| Helical Agitator | Pseudoplastic fluids |
|

AGITATOR SELECTIONCRITERIA
When choosing an agitator, consider:
| Factor | Description |
| Tank Volume | Determines power and impeller size |
| Viscosity of Fluid | Impacts type of impeller |
| Mixing Purpose | Blending, heat transfer, suspension, etc. |
| Speed (RPM) | High speed for low viscosity, low speed for high viscosity |
| Material of Construction | SS304, SS316, Hastelloy, etc., depending on media |
| Mounting Requirements | Depends on tank design |
