Most common industrial applications

Food industry

InoxMIM vertical agitators are used in a wide variety of unit operations within food plants, from dissolving additives and stabilizers to mixing liquids of different density or viscosity.

They allow maintaining a constant homogeneity of the product in cooking, pasteurization, or cooling processes, guaranteeing the quality and stability of the final batch.

They are especially effective in mixtures of sauces, purees, concentrates, yogurts, or milk beverages, where thermal control and low shear are required to avoid protein degradation or changes in the product’s texture.

Hygienic versions with mechanical seal and sanitary polishing ensure compliance with FDA and EHEDG regulations, facilitating their integration into automated CIP/SIP lines.

Cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry

In environments where consistency, homogeneity, and absence of contamination are critical, vertical agitators offer precise control of agitation and dispersion.

They are used in the formulation of creams, lotions, shampoos, gels, ointments, or biphasic emulsions, combining high mixing efficiency with low shear stress.

Their ability to work under vacuum or pressure allows controlling aeration and improving the texture and stability of the formulations.

Compatibility with pressurized reactors, temperature control systems, and torque measurement makes them indispensable in GMP lines and validated processes, ensuring reproducibility and traceability in pharmaceutical or cosmetic production.

Chemical industry

In the chemical and processing industry, vertical agitators are essential in reactors, mixing tanks, or preparation tanks where reactive fluids or medium and high viscosity compounds are handled.

They are used in operations of pigment dispersion, resin mixing, preparation of adhesives, detergents, polymers, silicones, or chemical emulsions.

Control of the agitation speed, transmitted torque, and absorbed power allows maintaining stable process conditions even with variations in the density or temperature of the medium.

Versions with double mechanical seals and thermosiphon cooling allow working in pressurized conditions, with controlled atmospheres or flammable products, complying with ATEX regulations.

Water treatment and auxiliary processes

Vertical agitators are also used in processes of flocculation, neutralization, and homogenization of reagents within industrial or urban water treatment plants.

Their robust construction and corrosion-resistant materials (AISI 316L or special coatings) ensure a long service life even in aggressive environments.

They allow maintaining a constant mixture in reaction or neutralization tanks, preventing solids sedimentation and improving the efficiency of physicochemical processes.

In addition, they are used as auxiliary equipment in storage systems, salt dissolution, preparation of chemical solutions, or pH regulation, where reliability and minimal maintenance are required.
