Multi-Mix Agitator Configuration
This Multi- Mix Agitator integrates three distinct agitators—central anchor with scrapers, a side-mounted screw agitator, and a rotor-stator homogenizer—into a single vessel, enabling tailored mixing strategies for complex, multi-phase processes involving a wide viscosity range.
Challenges
Heterogeneous Material Properties
Processes involving both shear-sensitive components and high-viscosity phases often require different types of mechanical agitation. Traditional single-agitator setups fail to address localized shear needs, temperature uniformity, and particle size distribution in such systems.
Axial Mixing in Dense or Viscous Products
In dense or pasty formulations, standard impellers can cause "tunneling," where only central flow occurs, leaving the periphery stagnant and poorly mixed.
Stable Emulsification and Particle Reduction
Creating fine emulsions or reducing particle size uniformly across the batch demands high shear rates and controlled turbulence, which typical agitators cannot provide alone.
Solutions
Central Anchor Agitator with Scrapers
Provides gentle, low-shear mixing suited for shear-sensitive or viscous fluids while ensuring effective heat transfer and wall cleaning. Teflon scrapers maintain tank hygiene and prevent build-up on the vessel walls and bottom.
Right-Side Screw Agitator
Designed to generate axial flow from top to bottom, this screw impeller ensures complete turnover of materials, eliminating dead zones. Ideal for viscous pastes or powder-loaded fluids that require intensive circulation.
Left-Side Rotor-Stator Homogenizer
This high-shear dispersing unit introduces strong local shear and turbulence. It enables particle size reduction, rapid emulsification, and stabilization of formulations—particularly useful for creating fine suspensions or emulsions in cosmetics, pharma, or chemical applications.
Tri-Drive Agitation System
Each agitator is independently motorized and frequency-controlled, offering unmatched flexibility in mixing modes, energy input, and process customization. This allows real-time adjustment to batch requirements and improves scalability and repeatability.
