An agitator is a device used in a tank to combine different process media.
Media
comprise all forms of liquid, gases,
and solids (such as salts, powders, granules etc). In essence, it imparts
energy
to the medium that interact and mix by
rotating an impeller.
What Is High Flow Agitators?
Equipment called agitators is used to homogenise medium inside a tank. It
functions by controlling the speed or
revolutions per minute of the impeller's submerged end rotation (rpm). The work
done by the impeller causes the medium
inside the tank to flow and shear, which homogenises a single or multi-component
media. The media are kept moving at a
consistent rate and pattern.
High Flow Agitator Uses ?
When adding chemicals or combining pharmaceutical ingredients, an high flow
agitator is utilised to combine various
process media, including liquids, gases, and solids. The agitator generates
energy mechanically by rotating a shaft on
which an impeller with the necessary functionality is mounted. Axial pumping,
gas induction, flocculation, high
viscosity products, high and low shear mixing, etc. could all be examples of
this. In the water industry, an agitator is
also used to add various chemicals to source water to make it up to drinking
water requirements.
Application :
Particularly when corrosive and abrasive solutions are involved, the High Flow
Agitators are unequalled in the market
for high volume / low head pumping needs. is mostly applied in the following
applications.
Agitation in digester for bio gas plant.
Evaporator and Crystallizer Circulation.
Phosphate, Soda Ash and Sodium Chloride Processing.
Sewage digester.
Raw water pumping, Flood control.
Black Liquid Evaporator, Chlorine dioxide generators.
Agitators.
Design :
High Flow Agitators produce flow through the push and lift of the propeller's
rotating axial vanes. A pump elbow, or
casing, directs the flow through the suction end and out the discharge end.
Depending on the situation and the flange
dimensions, it can use either a top or end suction configuration. Bolt circle
and hole meet ANSI B16.5 150#
requirements. The spinning pieces can be removed from the back pull-out design
without damaging the pipework, making
maintenance and repairs simple.
