Agitators are industrial mixers that typically mix substances with low viscosities in low-shear applications. Agitators are basically process aids because their main functions, including producing flow in a vessel and ensuring in-tank uniformity, are secondary to the whole process. Agitators range in size from small agitators used in laboratory applications to large industrial agitators with 10,000-gallon capacities.

Agitators
Agitators can be combined with other in-tank mixer types. Simple agitators can be used in large batches but are not very effective outside of producing flow, promoting heat transfer and maintaining in-tank uniformity. Agitators in food mixing and industrial product processing may have similar configurations, or they may be removable agitating rods which are placed into a substance only long enough to properly agitate it. Agitators are used mainly in liquids, as agitation is not as effective with thick, highly viscous materials. Important considerations when selecting an agitator include the product specific gravity, viscosity and characteristics of the material being used. Agitators can be used for a variety of applications. They can mix a wide range of substances or aid in the manufacture of paints, inks, varnishes, adhesives, and grease lubricants. They are also useful in the creation of industrial, commercial and household products such as cleaning compounds and liquid detergents. |
