Agitators

Flange agitators from Veenstra Technology

Looking for a mixing solution that delivers optimal mixing performance and is easy to maintain? Flange agitators are mounted on the tank cover via a flange connection for vertical mixing. The agitator shaft is placed directly in the mixing medium for optimal mixing circulation. This configuration is used in reactor vessels, solution tanks, and batch processes for homogenization. The top mounting allows the agitator blade geometry to be easily adapted to process specifications. The greatest added value lies in direct accessibility for maintenance without process interruption.

Why choose flange agitators?

Flange agitators offer advantages over column– and portable mixers due to their flexibility. These agitators are suitable for low to medium viscosities and various process conditions. They perform excellently with liquid solutions, chemical reaction mixtures, and food products up to 50,000 cP. The configuration works optimally in atmospheric to slightly overpressure conditions without complex sealing systems.

Key advantages of flange agitators

• Ease of maintenance: Direct access without tank emptying or process interruption;
• Installation flexibility: Easy mounting on existing tanks and reactor vessels;
• Process optimization: Adjustable blade geometry for specific mixing requirements;
• Cost efficiency: Lower installation and maintenance costs than more complex alternatives.

When is a flange agitator the right solution for your production process?

Flange agitators are the optimal choice when you are looking for options for existing installations. This solution works excellently in processes with regular batch changes and frequent quality checks. The configuration is ideal for applications where you need complete homogenization without hot spots. Flange agitators perform optimally in tanks with sufficient free height above the liquid level. The solution offers maximum flexibility when process parameters are regularly adjusted or optimized.
