Top Entry Agitator

It consists of three primary assemblies: the Drive Unit (motor and gearbox/reducer), the Vertical Agitator Shaft that transmits power into the vessel, and one or more Impellers (such as pitched blade turbines, hydrofoils, or Rushton blades) that create the required flow patterns.

It is suitable for blending, solids suspension, heat transfer, chemical reactions, dissolution, and homogenization across a wide range of process requirements.

They are available in light, medium, and heavy-duty designs capable of handling fluids from low viscosity up to very high viscosities (including 100,000 cP and above).

Common options include SS 304/316L, carbon steel, duplex/super duplex, Hastelloy, titanium, or lined versions (rubber, PTFE, FRP, etc.) to suit different process fluids and corrosion requirements.

Multiple options are available, including lip seals, single or double mechanical seals, magnetic seals, and gland packing, suitable for atmospheric to high-pressure applications (up to 100+ bar).

All major service points are located above the liquid level. The unit can be removed from the top without draining the tank, and most designs have no submerged bearings or electrical components.

Optimized designs often consume only 1–2 W/m³. Large-diameter, low-speed impellers provide strong bulk flow while keeping power consumption lower than many side-entry alternatives.

They are widely applied in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries.

Options include Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) for speed control, ATEX/explosion-proof motors, sterile/sanitary finishes, and bottom steady bearings for long shafts, along with customizable shaft length, diameter, and impeller configurations.
