Agitators for Standard Tanks I 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. The different types of anchor available in the INOXPA range are presented below. Option 01: U-shaped anchor The U-shaped anchor is designed for a broad range of viscosities. It can be used in mixing, dissolving and homogenization processes. Depending on the application, it has a variable speed operation ranging from 3 to 120 rpm. This type of anchor is normally complemented by one or more radially-mounted agitators or a radial flow deflector system. Scrapers can be incorporated for products that are likely to adhere to the tank's walls. In double-walled tanks, the scrapers also help transfer heat to the product. Applications include: melting products, jams, temperature control, etc. Option 02: Anchor with radial flow deflector This agitator comprises an anchor with a central shaft and blades. These are complemented by one or two static radial flow deflectors with blades. These features mean it can operate in a broad range of viscosities. Depending on the application, it has a variable speed operation ranging from 3 to 120 rpm. Scrapers can be incorporated for products that are likely to adhere to the tank's walls. In double-walled tanks, the scrapers also help transfer heat to the product. Applications include: cosmetic creams, ointments, pâtés, etc. Option 03: U-shaped anchor with blade The U-shaped anchor with blade is designed with a central shaft. The shaft is fitted with angled radial blades to help mix the product. It is used to prepare very good mixtures of medium-viscosity products. Depending on the application, it has a variable speed operation ranging from 3 to 120 rpm. Scrapers can be incorporated for products that are likely to adhere to the inside of the tank's walls. In double-walled tanks, the scrapers also help transfer heat to the product. Applications include: mixing chocolate-based products, cream solutions, dairy products, etc.

Agitators for Standard Tanks Option 04: Helical ribbon-type anchor The helical ribbon anchor is the best solution for mixing liquid products with solids or only ly granulated solids, without damaging them. It operates over a broad range of viscosities. s. Mixing times are short and a homogeneous final product is obtained. These agitators are capable of strongly displacing the product from top to bottom, even at very ry high viscosities. The near impossibility of creating turbulence in viscous and non-Newtonian n materials means that all of the liquid is in motion, ensuring excellent mixing....

Agitators for Standard Tanks I 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. They can also be used for mixing liquids. Depending on the application, deflectors or flow deflector baffles can also...

Agitators for Standard Tanks I 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. Blades are axial flow agitators, ideal for solid-in-liquid solutions and suspensions because they prevent solid particles from depositing on the bottom of the tank. They can also be used for mixing liquids. Depending on the application, deflectors or flow...

Agitators for Standard Tanks I 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. These agitators can be mounted in tanks with rounded or conical bottoms. 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....
