Overview
Glass lined anchor agitator is designed for high viscosity mixing duties in glass lined reactors and open type stirred vessels. It features a close-clearance structure that follows the inner wall of the vessel, ensuring efficient mixing and enhanced heat transfer performance.
The agitator is manufactured by applying high-silica glass enamel onto a carbon steel substrate and firing at 800–950°C to form a durable, corrosion-resistant surface. This combination provides both excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength for demanding industrial applications.
It is widely used as part of reactor stirring systems, especially in glass lined open type vessels with capacities ranging from 50L to 5000L and operating temperatures from -20°C to 200°C.
Key Features
-
High Viscosity Mixing Performance Optimized for handling viscous materials (typically ranging from 2,000 to 25,000 cP), such as heavy resins, polymers, and concentrated slurries.
-
Close-Clearance Design The anchor structure closely follows the vessel wall to improve mixing efficiency and prevent material buildup in dead zones.
-
Enhanced Heat Transfer Continuous wall-scraping action improves heat exchange between the vessel jacket and the process medium for temperature-sensitive reactions.
-
Corrosion Resistance Premium glass lining provides excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and chemical corrosion across a wide temperature range.
-
Stable and Reliable Operation The balanced, heavy-duty structure ensures smooth rotation and high torque resistance during long-term operational cycles.
Typical Applications
-
High-viscosity chemical processing
-
Resin and polymer production
-
Slurry and paste mixing systems
-
Reactor stirring systems with high heat transfer requirements
