CUSTOM STAINLESS STEEL TANK AGITATORS & MIXING SYSTEMS
Engineered Agitation Systems Built for Process Performance
At EIC Tanks, we design and manufacture custom agitators engineered specifically for stainless steel tanks, kettles, and process vessels. Proper agitation is critical to product consistency, heat transfer efficiency, and batch repeatability. An improperly sized mixer can lead to stratification, poor blending, extended batch times, and inconsistent results.
Our agitation systems are engineered around your product’s viscosity, shear sensitivity, batch size, and process objectives to ensure reliable, production-ready performance.
AGITATION DESIGNED AROUND YOUR PRODUCT
We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. Each agitator is designed based on:
• Product viscosity range
• Desired shear level
• Mixing time requirements
• Tank geometry
• Operating temperature
• Vacuum or pressure conditions
Motor sizing and torque calculations are performed to ensure the mixer performs under full-load operating conditions.
AVAILABLE AGITATOR CONFIGURATIONS
We design and fabricate a range of agitation systems depending on your process needs.
Anchor Agitators
Ideal for medium to high viscosity products. Anchor agitators provide full-sweep mixing and can be equipped with wall scrapers to improve heat transfer in jacketed vessels.
Sweep Agitation Systems
Designed to move product efficiently across the entire vessel surface, reducing dead zones and improving uniformity.
High-Shear Rotor/Stator Mixers
Engineered for emulsification, particle size reduction, and rapid dispersion. These systems are ideal for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical applications.
Dual-Motion & Triple-Motion Systems
Combines sweep agitation with high-shear mixing for applications requiring both bulk movement and controlled shear.
Top-Entry & Bottom-Entry Agitators
Selected based on tank configuration, cleaning requirements, and structural design.
Each system is integrated directly into the vessel during the engineering phase to ensure structural stability and proper load distribution.
AGITATION FOR HEATED & JACKETED VESSELS
In steam-jacketed kettles and heated tanks, agitation plays a critical role in thermal uniformity.
Our engineered agitators help:
• Prevent product scorching
• Maintain even temperature distribution
• Improve heat transfer efficiency
• Reduce batch cycle time
Scraper blades and swept-surface designs can be incorporated to continuously move product away from heated vessel walls.
Vacuum & Pressure Rated Agitators
For vacuum-rated vessels and pressure applications, agitator shaft seals and mechanical components are selected to maintain system integrity under reduced or elevated pressure conditions.
We design agitation systems compatible with:
• Full vacuum service
• Combined vacuum and pressure operation
• Temperature-controlled processing
Seal design, shaft support, and motor selection are engineered accordingly.
INTEGRATED CONTROLS & CUSTOM OPTIONS
Agitator systems can be equipped with:
• Variable frequency drives (VFD)
• Explosion-proof motors
• Mechanical seals
• Load monitoring
• PLC integration
• Custom shaft lengths
• Removable or fixed mounting assemblies
All components are selected for compatibility with your processing environment and compliance requirements.
DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY & LONG-TERM OPERATION
Our stainless steel agitators are fabricated using high-quality materials and engineered for continuous industrial operation.
We prioritize:
• Structural stability
• Proper torque transmission
• Balanced shaft design
• Reduced vibration
• Long-term mechanical reliability
Every agitation system is designed to perform consistently under real production conditions.
