Process equipment engineered for performance
Propeller agitators mainly produce an axial flow pattern, though tangential flow can also be produced. The fluid is displaced and accelerated longitudinally after the impeller blades draw it. The deflection of the fluid depends on the inclination of the impeller blades. The impeller blades are tapered towards the shaft to minimize centrifugal force and maximize axial flow.
Practical guidance for selecting and specifying the right process equipment.
Propeller agitators are best suited for low to medium viscosity fluids requiring fast blending and circulation.
A propeller agitator creates axial flow for bulk circulation, while turbine agitators typically create radial flow for shear-intensive mixing.
Propeller agitators are used for blending, solids suspension, and general-purpose mixing in chemical and process tanks.
Yes, PIIPL manufactures propeller agitators with configurable blade pitch, diameter, and RPM based on the application.
