SpiralBlend® Screw agitator
The SpiralBlend® Screw agitator is a type of industrial low shear mixing device used primarily for viscous fluids, slurries, or applications involving heat exchange. It provides excellent bottom-to-top turnover and is used for blending high-viscosity and shear-sensitive media.
MixPro® UZ Type Agitator
The MixPro® UZ Type Agitator (UZ impeller) is a specialized type of mixing impeller designed for high efficiency, versatility, and optimized flow patterns in industrial mixing applications. The UZ impeller is an excellent choice for mixing tasks that prioritize energy efficiency, gentle fluid handling, and effective axial flow.
Gentrix® Anchor / Gate Agitator
The Gentrix® gate-type agitator (impeller) is designed primarily for low-shear industrial mixing applications where the goal is to gently and uniformly mix the contents of a process tank.
OptiMix® Marine Type Agitator
OptiMix® Marine-type Agitators are especially efficient when there is a need for achieving uniform mixing and settling prevention for products with low viscosity, mainly in dairy, chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and similar applications.
HydroFlex® Hydrofoil Turbine Agitator
HydroFlex® Hydrofoil Agitators are often used in industrial applications that require efficient fluid movement and mixing, especially in larger tanks or vessels, where creating circulation and preventing stagnant zones can be challenging.
ProBlade® Pitched Blade Agitator
ProBlade® Pitched Blade Agitator effectively break down and suspend solid particles within a liquid medium. They prevent the settling of solids by providing the necessary fluid motion to keep particles in suspension.
HeliFlow® Helical blade Agitator
HeliFlow® Helical blade Agitators are especially effective for mixing high-viscosity materials that are challenging to agitate using traditional impellers. The HeliFlow® create an uplifting twisting motion within the fluid, promoting thorough mixing and dispersion of viscous components.
MixCube® IBC Agitator
The MixCube® IBC MGT agitators(folding impellers) designed to fit through a standard 150 mm screwed cap to quickly re-suspend or re-homogenize the product during storage or transportation time as well as preparation and dissolving processes hence MGT produce different type of impellers, rotation speed and power.
Rotarix® Agitator
The Rotarix® Agitator is designed for agitation and mixing purposes in various industries, including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and more. The design of the Rotarix® impeller is intended to provide efficient mixing and high-performance agitation for a wide range of applications, from gentle mixing to more intense agitation.
MagniBlend® Magnetic Agitator
MGT Industries is one of the several global manufacturers having in-house designed low shear magnetic agitators (magnetic impellers) for applications where an extremely high level of hygienity and sterilization is required.

FAQ
What are MGT’s low shear mixers designed for?
MGT’s low shear mixers are designed to provide gentle, efficient, and precise mixing while preserving product integrity in sensitive processes.
How do low shear mixers operate?
They operate at lower speeds using impellers that generate high flow with minimal shear stress, ensuring effective circulation without damaging sensitive materials.
What industries commonly use low shear mixers?
Industries such as food and beverages, cosmetics, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, biotech, dairies, and paint and ink manufacturing use low shear mixers when product texture and structure must be preserved.
What are the main benefits of low shear mixing?
Low shear mixing preserves delicate structures, reduces energy consumption, results in quieter operation, and minimizes equipment wear and maintenance.
What types of impellers does MGT offer for low shear applications?
MGT offers a wide variety of impellers such as SpiralBlend® screw agitator, MixPro® UZ, Gentrix® anchor or gate, OptiMix® marine-style, HydroFlex® hydrofoil turbine, HeliFlow® helical blade, MixCube® IBC agitator, Rotarix® industrial agitator, and MagniBlend® magnetic agitator.
What processes are best suited for low shear mixing?
Low shear mixers are ideal for suspending or dispersing solids in liquids, promoting heat transfer, gently blending components, mixing miscible liquids, and supporting flocculation processes without breaking apart delicate flocs.
How do low shear and high shear mixers differ?
Low shear mixers use slower rotation and larger impellers to create smooth flow patterns, while high shear mixers use fast rotation with small rotor-stator systems to generate turbulence, ideal for emulsifying and reducing particle size.
How should I choose between low shear and high shear mixing?
Choose low shear when your process requires preserving product texture, avoiding damage, gently suspending solids, or minimizing mechanical stress. Choose high shear when your goal is to rapidly disperse solids, emulsify liquids, or reduce particle size.
Why choose MGT’s low shear mixers?
MGT offers customizable and energy-efficient solutions with decades of experience and a broad selection of impeller types tailored to specific industries and process requirements.
