The bottom side entry agitators DINAMIX SMX are an economical and effective solution for process and storage tanks in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
The most important application is the maintenance and homogenization in large volume tanks of low viscosity products such as wine, oil, milk, beer, alcohol, etc.
Operating principle
Side entry agitators DINAMIX SMX are used for the homogenization of liquids stored in large volume tanks.
They are powered by means of a geared motor and are installed inclined in the lower part of the shell of the tank. The rotation of the propeller creates a flow that pushes the product towards the bottom of the tank, making it rise to the surface of the liquid through the tank wall on the opposite side of the agitator. This effect is favoured if the closure has a dished head. Likewise, the agitator is installed off-centre with respect to the tank to favour a circular flow in the radial plane. In this way, a complete homogenization of the product is ensured.
