Agitator with ‘upside-down’ mechanical seal:

This agitator head design provides sophisticated sealing using a simple mechanical seal installed under the agitator head flange.

The advantage of this solution is that it ensures optimal accessibility of the seal by the tank's built-in washing systems.

Retention and shadow areas are virtually eliminated.

This technology is suitable for sterile environments that do not require double mechanical seals and can be cleaned and sterilised in situ.

The design of this agitator head minimises its footprint on the tank roof.

This mechanical agitator can be installed on pendulum, horizontal or bottom agitators.

Mechanical agitator: A versatile solution

The fundamental principles of mechanical agitators lie in the creation of controlled movement within a fluid. Devices such as propellers, turbines or anchors, immersed in the liquid, are rotated or translated. This movement generates turbulence and flows that promote homogeneous mixing of components, dissolution of substances or suspension of particles.

The use of a mechanical agitator effectively optimises heat transfer within the fluid, ensuring a uniform temperature. In the context of chemical reactions, mechanical agitation plays a crucial role in keeping the reactants in contact, thereby promoting the progress of the processes.
