When to choose
- The vessel has a top opening or flange available for the drive
- You need blending, suspension or dispersion in a vertical tank or reactor
- Impeller type and number of stages must be matched to the liquid and tank geometry
Agitation Devices
Top-Entry Agitator
A drive and shaft assembly that mounts on the vessel top to circulate, blend and suspend liquids.
What it does
Process role
A top-entry agitator carries a motor and gear drive above the vessel and lowers one or more impellers into the liquid on a vertical shaft. The impellers set up the flow pattern that blends, suspends or disperses the contents.
Configuration points
- Impeller type, diameter and number of stages
- Shaft length and support arrangement for the liquid depth
- Motor and gearbox arrangement
- Shaft sealing method for the process conditions
- Wetted material selection for the medium
Inputs to share
- Tank diameter and liquid depth
- Required mixing duty, such as blending or suspension
- Liquid blending in process tanks
- Solids suspension in slurries
