Agitated Vessels for Solid-Liquid Mixing
Agitated vessels for solid-liquid mixing are process tanks designed to incorporate, suspend, and maintain uniform distribution of solid particles throughout liquid volumes. These vessels provide the mixing intensity required to wet powders, suspend settling particles, and achieve homogeneous solid-liquid systems.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for Solid-Liquid Mixing?
Solid-liquid mixing requires agitated vessels capable of wetting incoming solids, suspending particles against gravity settling, and maintaining uniform concentration for consistent processing. Proper suspension ensures complete dissolution, uniform reaction conditions, and consistent product quality throughout the batch.

Agitated Vessels for Solid-Liquid Mixing FAQs
How do you achieve complete solid suspension?
Complete suspension requires adequate power input, appropriate impeller type and placement, and proper tank geometry. Axial flow impellers provide efficient suspension for settling particles. Impeller diameter, tip speed, and off-bottom clearance are optimized for particle characteristics. CFD verification ensures complete suspension at design conditions.
What systems incorporate powders without lumping?
Powder incorporation uses subsurface addition to prevent floating, high-shear zones to wet and disperse agglomerates, and controlled addition rates matched to mixing capability. Powder induction eductors, high-shear mixers, and recirculation systems address challenging powders. We design complete incorporation systems.
