Agitated Vessels for Slurry Handling
Agitated vessels for slurry handling are heavy-duty mixing systems designed to maintain uniform suspensions of solid particles in liquids for processing, storage, and transfer. These vessels provide robust agitation capable of suspending high-density or high-concentration slurries while resisting abrasive wear.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for Slurry Handling?
Slurry handling requires agitated vessels that maintain uniform suspension for consistent processing, prevent settling that leads to difficult restart or equipment plugging, and withstand abrasive wear from solid particles. Proper suspension ensures consistent slurry properties for downstream operations.

Agitated Vessels for Slurry Handling FAQs
What impellers handle abrasive slurries?
Abrasive service uses wear-resistant impellers including Ni-Hard castings, Stellite overlays, rubber-covered designs, or polyurethane-coated options. Material selection considers abrasion severity, particle size, and slurry chemistry. Replaceable wear components enable economical maintenance. We design for extended life in abrasive service.
How do you prevent settling during shutdown?
Settling prevention uses designs that enable easy restart, bottom configurations that minimize accumulation, and operational procedures that keep solids suspended until discharge. Emergency agitation power may be provided for critical applications. Some designs allow restart with settled solids.
