Up-Down agitator with geared motor (Vertical-lifting)

 

Our up-down industrial agitators are designed for efficient mixing, homogenisation, and suspension of liquids and slurries across a wide range of process industries. The integrated vertical lifting mechanism allows precise height adjustment of the agitator shaft and impeller during operation, enabling better mixing control across varying liquid levels and viscosities. The system consists of a top-entry agitator mounted on a rigid vertical column with a chain-driven or geared lifting arrangement, ensuring smooth and safe upward and downward movement. This design is particularly useful in open tanks, batch vessels, and process containers where product level changes during operation.

Heavy-Duty Slow Speed Agitator for Continuous Slurry Mixing (24/7 Duty)

This slow speed industrial agitator is engineered for continuous, non-stop operation in demanding slurry and suspension applications. Designed to deliver high torque at low RPM, it is ideal for processes where gentle but persistent agitation is required to prevent settling, maintain homogeneity, and handle abrasive or high-solid-content materials over long operating cycles.

The agitator uses a robust geared motor drive coupled with a rigid shaft and heavy-duty mounting arrangement, making it suitable for round-the-clock (24/7) operation in chemical, ceramic, mineral, and process industries. The low-speed design minimises shear, reduces power spikes, and significantly extends mechanical life compared to high-speed mixers.

Key Design Characteristics

• Slow Speed, High Torque Operation for slurry and solid-laden liquids

• Geared Motor Drive designed for continuous duty cycles

• Rugged Mechanical Construction for long service life

• Stable, Low-Vibration Performance even at large impeller diameters

• Designed for Non-Stop (24/7) Industrial Operation

Technical Capabilities

• Speed Range: Typically 10–60 RPM (customisable)

• Motor Power Range: 1 HP to 20+ HP

• Duty Rating: Continuous (S1)

• Shaft & Impeller: Heavy-section MS or SS, designed for bending and torsional loads

• Mounting Options:

  • Floor-mounted

  • Tank-top mounted

  • Bridge or frame mounted

Typical Applications

• Ceramic glaze and slurry tanks

• Mineral slurries and solid suspensions

• Chemical process tanks

• Pigment, filler, and additive dispersion

• Wastewater and effluent equalisation tanks

Why Slow Speed Agitation Matters

• Prevents settling without excessive shear

• Reduces wear in abrasive slurries

• Enables energy-efficient long-duration mixing

• Improves gearbox and bearing life

• Ideal for processes where mixing is required continuously, not intermittently

Built for Industrial Reality

This agitator is designed with:

• Oversized gearboxes for torque margin

• Conservative shaft design for fatigue resistance

• Low RPM operation to minimise seal and bearing wear

• Service-friendly construction for plant maintenance teams

What is a slow speed agitator?

A slow speed agitator is an industrial mixer designed to operate at low RPM (typically 10–60 RPM) while delivering high torque. It is used where continuous stirring is required to prevent settling of solids without creating excessive shear or turbulence.

Where are slow speed agitators typically used?

Slow speed agitators are commonly used in:

• Ceramic glaze and slurry tanks

• Chemical slurry and suspension tanks

• Mineral processing and beneficiation

• Pigment and filler dispersion

• Effluent and wastewater equalisation tanks

 

They are especially suited for solid-laden, abrasive, or high-density liquids.

Why is slow speed preferred for slurry mixing?

Slow speed agitation:

• Prevents settling of solids without breaking particles

• Minimises wear in abrasive slurries

• Reduces power consumption during long operating cycles

• Avoids air entrainment and vortex formation

• Ensures stable, uniform mixing over long durations

 

High-speed mixers are inefficient and failure-prone for continuous slurry duties.

What motor and gearbox configuration is used?

The agitator uses a geared motor drive, typically:

• Helical or worm gearbox

• High reduction ratio for torque multiplication

• Direct-coupled or flange-mounted motor

This configuration ensures smooth torque delivery and long service life under constant load.

What speed range is typically used?

Typical operating speeds are:

• 10–30 RPM for heavy slurries and high solids

• 30–60 RPM for lighter suspensions

 

The exact speed is selected based on tank diameter, slurry density, and solids loading.

What materials are used for shaft and impeller?

Depending on the application:

• Mild Steel (MS) for non-corrosive, abrasive slurries

• Stainless Steel (SS304 / SS316) for corrosive or hygienic processes

 

Shafts are designed with sufficient diameter to handle bending and torsional loads during continuous operation.

How does this agitator reduce maintenance?

Maintenance is reduced due to:

• Low RPM operation

• Reduced seal and bearing wear

• Stable torque transmission

• Simple mechanical construction

This makes it suitable for plants where downtime is costly.

What mounting options are available?

Common mounting options include:

• Tank-top mounting

• Floor-mounted structures

• Bridge or frame-mounted assemblies

 

The mounting is selected based on tank size, access constraints, and process layout.

How do I select the right slow speed agitator?

Selection depends on:

• Tank diameter and liquid height

• Slurry density and solids percentage

• Required duty cycle (continuous or intermittent)

• Available power and speed range

 

For slurry applications, torque requirement is more important than RPM.
