Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Agitator/Mixer (if applicable)

Definition
An agitator or mixer is an essential component of chemical storage tanks designed to ensure uniform distribution of chemical components, prevent phase separation, maintain consistent temperature and concentration gradients, and enhance chemical reactions when required. It operates within the tank's interior to provide mechanical mixing action.
Working Principle
Typically consists of a motor-driven shaft with impellers or blades that rotate within the tank, creating fluid motion through shear forces, turbulence, or laminar flow patterns to achieve mixing objectives.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel (316L/304), Carbon Steel, Hastelloy, Titanium, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic
Technical Parameters
  • Impeller diameter and shaft length dimensions (mm) Standard Spec
Components / BOM
  • Motor
    Provides rotational power to drive the agitator shaft
    Material: Cast iron/Stainless steel housing
  • Shaft
    Transmits torque from motor to impeller, submerged in chemical media
    Material: Stainless steel/Alloy steel
  • Impeller
    Creates fluid motion and mixing action through blade design
    Material: Stainless steel/Plastic/Composite
  • Seal Assembly
    Prevents leakage of chemicals from tank at shaft penetration point
    Material: PTFE/Ceramic/Carbon
  • Mounting Bracket
    Secures agitator assembly to tank structure
    Material: Carbon steel/Stainless steel
Engineering Reasoning
0.5-3.0 m/s impeller tip speed, 0.1-5.0 kW power input, 10-1000 Pa shear stress
Impeller tip speed exceeding 3.5 m/s causes shaft deflection >0.1 mm, bearing temperature >120°C, or fluid cavitation number <0.5
Design Rationale: Cavitation-induced erosion at vapor pressure threshold (2.34 kPa at 20°C water), fatigue failure from cyclic bending stress exceeding 200 MPa yield strength, thermal degradation of seals above 150°C
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Solid particle concentration exceeding 15% by volume in Newtonian fluids
Mode: Impeller blade erosion reducing mixing efficiency by >40%, shaft imbalance vibration >4.5 mm/s RMS
Strategy: Hard-faced tungsten carbide coating (1500 HV hardness), dual mechanical seals with flush fluid at 0.2 MPa above process pressure
Trigger Motor phase imbalance exceeding 5% voltage differential at 50 Hz supply
Mode: Stator winding insulation breakdown at 155°C Class F limit, bearing current arcing >5 V peak-to-peak
Strategy: VFD with 3% impedance line reactors, insulated bearing sleeves with 100 MΩ resistance at 500 V DC

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are best for chemical agitators in corrosive environments?

For corrosive chemical environments, 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy, and titanium offer excellent resistance. Material selection depends on the specific chemicals, temperature, and concentration levels in your process.

How do I choose between different impeller types for chemical mixing?

Impeller selection depends on your application: axial flow impellers for blending and homogenization, radial flow for shear-sensitive materials, and specialized designs for high-viscosity chemicals or gas dispersion.
