Agitated Vessels for Pulp and Paper
Agitated vessels for pulp and paper are industrial mixing systems designed for stock handling, chemical preparation, and bleaching operations. These vessels provide the robust agitation required for fiber suspension, chemical mixing, and process consistency in demanding mill environments.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for Pulp and Paper?
Pulp and paper manufacturing requires agitated vessels throughout the process from pulp preparation through chemical recovery. Proper agitation maintains fiber suspension, ensures uniform chemical distribution, and supports consistent product quality. Vessels must handle abrasive fibers and corrosive chemicals reliably.

Agitated Vessels for Pulp and Paper FAQs
How do you handle fiber suspensions?
Fiber suspension uses appropriate impeller designs (hydrofoils, side-entering props), adequate power input, and proper placement to keep fibers uniformly distributed. Bottom sedimentation and surface matting are prevented through CFD-verified designs. We provide reliable agitation for consistency ranges from thin stock to heavy pulp.
What materials resist mill chemical environments?
Material selection depends on the chemical environment. Stainless steel handles most applications. Duplex grades resist bleach plant chlorides. Titanium serves severe bleaching environments. FRP provides economical resistance for appropriate applications. We recommend materials based on your specific chemical exposure.
