Agitator Reactor

Agitator Reactor

An Agitator Reactor is a type of industrial reactor that integrates a mechanical agitator or stirrer into the vessel to ensure uniform mixing of reactants. These reactors are vital in industries like chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and cosmetics, where homogeneous mixing and efficient heat transfer are essential.

These reactors typically feature a motor-driven impeller or paddle, allowing for effective blending of liquids, solids, or gases. Often constructed from stainless steel (SS304/SS316) or glass-lined materials, they are engineered for corrosion resistance, durability, and hygiene in process environments.

“Efficient mixing is the heart of many industrial processes – and Agitator Reactors are engineered precisely for that.”

Applications: These reactors are used in chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical mixing, food production, paint formulation, and cosmetic emulsification. Their ability to handle a wide range of viscosities makes them versatile and scalable from lab setups to large-scale industrial operations.

Agitator Types: Turbine, Propeller, Anchor, Helical, and Magnetic agitators—each suited for different mixing intensities and product types.

Advantages: Enhanced process consistency, reduced batch time, and better control over reaction parameters like temperature and mixing speed.
