Agitators

Flanged agitators from Veenstra Technology

Are you looking for a mixing solution that delivers optimum mixing performance and is easy to maintain? Flanged agitators are mounted on the tank lid via a flange connection for vertical mixing. The agitator shaft is positioned directly within the mixing medium to ensure optimum mixing circulation. This configuration is used in reactor vessels, solution tanks and batch processes for homogenisation. Thanks to the top-mounted design, the impeller geometry can be easily adapted to process specifications. The greatest added value lies in the direct accessibility for maintenance without interrupting the process.

Why choose flanged agitators?

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

Key benefits of flanged agitators

• Ease of maintenance: Direct access without the need to drain the tank or interrupt the process;
• Installation flexibility: Easy installation on existing tanks and reactor vessels;
• Process optimisation: Customisable impeller blade geometry to meet specific mixing requirements;
• Cost-effectiveness: Lower installation and maintenance costs than more complex alternatives.

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

Flanged agitators are the ideal choice when you are looking for options for existing installations. This solution works exceptionally well in processes involving regular batch changes and frequent quality checks. The configuration is ideal for applications where complete homogenisation is required without hotspots. Flanged agitators perform best in tanks with sufficient headspace above the liquid level. This solution offers maximum flexibility when process parameters are regularly adjusted or optimised.
