Glass Lined Reactors - Agitation »

Various types of flow patterns are created by different shapes of blade and by combining blades and baffles. These produce complex local flow patterns

Anchor Agitator

Anchor agitator assembled axially with thermo well produces axial suction and radial flow with rotation of product.

Impeller Agitator

The liquid is sucked along the axial direction and is discharged from the tip of the blade, thus forming an upward circulation flow.

Various types of flow patterns are created by different shapes of blade and by combining blades and baffles. These produce complex local flow patterns. The figures given around illustrate typical ones.

Pitched Blade Agitator

The moving action of the tilted blades creates a downward flow, then induces an upward circulation flow along the surface of the bottom to the side.

Propeller Agitator

Propeller provides axial downward flow for better top to bottom mixing, and induces an upward circulation flow along the surface of the bottom to the side wall.

A valuation of agitator power Input during service, can be deducted from the formulae here reported.

The power number can be drawn for each agitator from the graph shown above.
