När behövs sidomonterad omrörare i större tankar?

Sidomonterad omrörare används när tankvolymen är stor, viskositeten hög eller toppmonterad omrörare inte kan ge effektiv blandning. Den monteras i tankens vägg och säkerställer homogenisering nära botten och väggar. Processöverskott levererar CE-märkta och PED-kompatibla tankar i rostfritt stål AISI 304 och 316.

Vilka material används?

Rostfritt stål AISI 304, 316 och 316L används för korrosionsbeständighet och hygien. Blad och axel dimensioneras efter tankvolym och vätskeflöde för optimal blandning.

Kan sidomonterade omrörare användas i trycksatta tankar?

Ja, de kan monteras i både trycksatta och atmosfäriska tankar. Trycksatta varianter förstärks för arbetstryck och designtryck, vilket säkerställer säker drift.

Vilka volymer passar för sidomonterad omrörare?

Sidomonterade omrörare används i tankar från 5 000 liter upp till 250 000 liter. Bladens längd och axelns dimensioner anpassas efter tankens storlek och vätskans viskositet.

Kan begagnade tankar utrustas med sidomonterad omrörare?

Ja, Processöverskott kontrollerar och certifierar begagnade tankar med sidomonterad omrörare. Dokumentation och CE-märkning säkerställer PED-överensstämmelse och säker drift i industriella processer.

When is a side-mounted agitator needed in larger tanks?

Side-mounted agitator for larger industrial tanks

A side-mounted agitator is often used in larger industrial tanks when top-mounted solutions are not sufficient, or when the design of the tank and the characteristics of the liquid require a different type of circulation.

The agitator is mounted in the side of the tank and is usually driven by a motor and gearbox. This can help to create movement in the liquid even near the bottom and along the walls of the tank, depending on the design and application.

Process Surplus offers stainless steel tanks in stainless steel 304 and acid-proof 316/316L in various sizes and designs. Tanks can be equipped with side-mounted agitators, depending on the model and previous use.

Function and structure

Side-mounted agitators consist of:

Shaft and blade mounted in the tank wall
Motor and gearbox located externally for easy servicing
Seals and bearings for leakage protection
Optimized positioning for efficient high-volume mixing
Reinforced fixings for dynamic loads

Materials and construction

Stainless steel 304 and acid-proof 316/316L are often used in tanks and agitator systems where resistance to corrosion and cleanability are relevant factors in the process industry.

The design of the agitator blade and shaft varies depending on the characteristics of the liquid, such as flow and viscosity, as well as the tank design and application.

Process surpluses offer tanks in different designs where the construction and choice of materials vary.

Pressurized and atmospheric solutions

Side-mounted agitators can be used in both pressurized and atmospheric tanks. Pressurized tanks are reinforced to withstand working and design pressures, while atmospheric tanks are optimized for mixing efficiency.

Applications in industry

Food industry – homogeneous mixtures of viscous liquids
Chemical industry – large volumes of chemicals with sediments
Pharmaceutical production – sterile processes with safe mixing
Water treatment – chemical dosing and circulation

Technical options and equipment

Variable speed and adjustable blades
Reinforced shafts and bearings
External motors and gearboxes for serviceability
Inspection gaps and sample points
Surface treatment and passivation for hygiene standards

Volumes and capacity

Side-mounted agitators are often found in larger tanks, depending on the design, volume and application in the process industry.

The design of the blade and shaft varies depending on the characteristics of the fluid, such as viscosity and flow requirements, and the geometry of the tank. This can affect how the liquid circulates in different parts of the tank.

Advantages of the side-mounted agitator

Efficient mixing in large volumes
Reduces sedimentation near the bottom
External motors make maintenance easier
Safe operation with CE marking and PED compliance
Available as new and used tanks

New and used tanks in stock

Process Surplus offers both new and used tanks where side-mounted agitators may be present, depending on the model and previous use.

Associated documentation, for example linked to CE marking, may be available where indicated.

Some tanks may be available for relatively quick delivery and use in different types of industrial processes.

Choosing the right agitator

Side-mounted agitators are often used when the tank volume, height and liquid characteristics affect the need for circulation throughout the tank, for example near the bottom and along walls.

The choice of blade type, shaft and motor power varies depending on the application, fluid viscosity and tank design.

Process surplus can assist with information about different designs and solutions. Documentation linked to, for example, CE marking and PED may be available in cases where it is specified.

Executive summary

Side-mounted agitators are often used in larger industrial tanks where there is a need for circulation throughout the tank volume.

This type of agitator can help create movement in the liquid, depending on the design, the characteristics of the liquid and the application in the process industry.

Processöverskott offers stainless steel tanks in stainless steel 304 and acid-proof 316/316L in various designs. Tanks can be equipped with side-mounted agitators, and documentation linked to, for example, CE marking and PED can be available where indicated.
