What is a tank agitator?
An Agitator is a machine used in a tank for mixing various process media together. Media include all liquid types, gases & solids (such as salts, powders, granules etc). In summary, it works by rotating an impeller to impart energy to the media which interact and mix.
How do you size a tank agitator?
In terms of the height of the mixing blade in your tank, the optimal height is to have the blade 1/3 the length of the tank off the bottom of the tank. For example, if you had a tank that was 24 inches tall, you’d want your blade to be 8 inches off the bottom of the tank.

What is the difference between an agitator and impeller?
impellers? Washing machines with agitators use a central post that twists back and forth, rubbing against clothes to help break apart stains. In contrast, washing machines with impellers use a low-profile cone or disc that spins/rotates to rub clothes against each other to get them clean.
What is an ultrasonic tank agitator?
Hielscher Ultrasonics agitators range in size from lab agitators to industrial tank agitators for batch or in-line use. The purpose of tank agitation is the improvement of process kinetics. Ultrasonic tank agitators assist the following processes:
What size agitator do I need for my tank?
This Titanium is a very strong, lightweight and corrosion resistant alloy. General probe diameters vary from 1mm to 40mm for lab use and from 40mm to 90mm for industrial tank agitators. Therefore ultrasonic agitators require small tank ports, only.
Where do I place the agitator mixer?
Large tank mixers then can then be bolted to the top of the tank, either on center or sightly off center to create low-level self baffling. Browse our agitator mixers below.
What is an agitator and how does it work?
Media include all liquid types, gases & solids (such as salts, powders, granules etc). In summary, it works by rotating an impeller to impart energy to the media which interact and mix. The components of an agitator in general are the motor & gearbox, shaft & impellers selected for the duty.
