Industrial Agitator Tanks: Key Features and Functions
The industrial agitator tank is a closed cylindrical vessel in which solids and liquids of different characteristics are combined to produce homogeneous mixtures through mechanical means. The versatility of these machines is due to the presence of one or more blades or impellers, which generate the mixing of the products; these accessories are powered by an electric motor.
Agitator tanks perform several functions in industrial processes:
They act as containment or storage units for products.
They facilitate the homogenization process of the mixture's components.
They improve fluidity by reducing viscosity and facilitate the solubility of the mixture’s components through the addition of heat.
The selection of the type of agitator (propeller, turbine, or paddle) is another important element that determines the efficiency of the mixing process. In addition, the presence of baffles and other internal elements determines the flow patterns inside the tank. The variation in impeller speed, temperature, and mixing time are other factors that complete the process.
Applications of Foeth Agitator Tanks
Industrial agitator tanks are versatile machines with a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. In our warehouses, we have a large number of stainless steel units available, ideal for those aseptic processes that require high levels of hygiene.
We also have double-walled tanks, which can be adapted for heating or cooling the product during the mixing process. They can be used during the sterilization of products or the pasteurization of milk.
In general, our used agitator tanks can be used for:
Mixing two miscible liquids, such as water and alcohol.
Dissolving solids in liquid, such as salt in water.
Facilitating heat transfer, whether for cooling or heating.
Assisting in the dispersion of gases in liquids, such as oxygen incorporation in fermenter tanks.
Dispersing two immiscible phases, such as fat in milk.
As you can see, there are many alternatives offered by our second-hand agitator tanks. If you need additional information, please call or write via the Foeth contact form.
