Anchor agitators, also known as gate agitators or gate blade agitators, are a type of radial flow agitator commonly used in various industries. They are characterized by their anchor-shaped blades that create radial flow patterns within the mixing vessel. Here are some key features and characteristics of anchor impellers:
Due to their effective mixing capabilities in handling viscous materials and promoting solids suspension, anchor impellers are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, pulp and paper, water treatment, and various other applications involving high-viscosity fluids and mixtures.
Delivering precision-engineered mixing and dosing solutions across diverse industrial sectors with reliability and performance.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) helps our engineering team study how the impeller moves liquid inside a tank before finalizing agitator speed, impeller diameter, shaft position and baffle arrangement. For industrial impellers, CFD visualization is useful for reviewing circulation, velocity distribution, turbulence level and possible dead zones.
At Premix Technologies, CFD review supports practical agitator and impeller selection for blending, solid suspension, heat transfer, gas dispersion, slurry handling and process mixing applications. The video below demonstrates how flow lines and velocity distribution can be reviewed to improve mixing efficiency and reduce uneven circulation inside the vessel.
