Double Motion Coaxial Agitator Configuration

This top-mounted coaxial agitator combines an anchor-type mixer with integrated wall and bottom scrapers and a centrally positioned high-speed dispersion disc. The system is designed to prevent sedimentation, eliminate agglomeration, and maintain product homogeneity, especially in processes involving powders, pastes, or suspensions.

Challenges

Agglomeration at the Tank Bottom

In formulations containing powders or particulate matter, extended idle times or inadequate mixing often lead to agglomeration and sedimentation at the vessel base. This compromises batch uniformity and may require reprocessing.

Powder Resuspension After Downtime

In processes with long pauses, maintaining product consistency and resuspending settled solids can be challenging without aggressive agitation or scraping.

Heat Transfer and Homogenization in Mid-to-High Viscosity Media

Ensuring uniform temperature and material distribution in products with complex rheology requires both bulk movement and localized agitation.

Solutions

Top-Mounted Anchor with Wall and Bottom Scrapers

The anchor agitator, mounted coaxially, provides low-shear bulk movement while the integrated Teflon or metal scrapers continuously clean the vessel walls and bottom. This prevents build-up, enhances heat transfer, and maintains circulation throughout the batch—even during low-speed operation.

High-Speed Dispersion Disc

Positioned at the tank center within the coaxial configuration, the dispersion disc enables high-speed shearing and localized turbulence. This ensures complete powder wetting and dispersal and effectively resuspends settled solids during startup or after idle periods.

Dual-Drive Coaxial System

The agitator and disperser are independently driven and speed-controlled, enabling flexible operation across a wide range of viscosities and batch conditions.

Applications

This double motion coaxial agitator design offers a balanced solution for both gentle and intensive mixing tasks. By combining bulk movement, wall scraping, and high-speed dispersion in a single, top-mounted system, it ensures process stability, reduces manual intervention, and enhances batch repeatability in demanding production environments.
