The Importance of Agitator Design in Chemical Reactors

Mixing Viscous vs. Non-Viscous Liquids

The efficiency of a chemical reaction often dictates the profitability of a batch. Selecting the correct agitator is critical. An anchor agitator with Teflon scrapers is ideal for high-viscosity products that tend to burn on the vessel walls, while pitched-blade turbines are better for rapid blending of low-viscosity liquids.

Weldcraft Fabrication custom-engineers agitator profiles using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to ensure optimal mixing without dead zones.
