BCI Vertical Agitator
BCI Vertical Agitator are used in industries such as food, cosmetics and chemistry. They have a reinforced bearing. Different propeller options are available according to the application process. All surfaces in contact with the product are made of A316 stainless steel and are electropolished. It can be mixed in the viscosity range of 1-1000 cps.
Vertical Agitator Application
The range of the BCI agitators presents vertical direct motor-driven agitators. These agitators are used in the processes of mixing, dissolution, dispersion and maintenance whenever powerful and high-speed agitation is required in the food processing, cosmetics, Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Applications or chemical industries.
The vertical agitators are normally fitted to small volume tanks of up to 1.500 liters for use with low-viscosity products.
Operating Principle of BCI Vertical Agitator
The agitators are normally installed inside the tank either centrally with current deflectors, or offset, to prevent the rotation of the stirred product.
The rotation of the propeller makes the fluid flow to the bottom and then up to the surface of the product along the walls of the tank. The effect is promoted if the bottom of the tank is curved.
The Lineflux propeller vigorously agitates the content of the tank promoting the mixing of the product while the sawtooth propeller promotes its dispersion.
