But you're not quite sure how to approach the task? Then you've come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of a suitable agitator can be easily determined with the help of a few criteria. Once you have defined these criteria for yourself, selecting the right agitator and components is just a matter of hard work. With these few details, we can offer you an agitator that is perfectly tailored to your mixing task within a very short time. And you can be sure that you will get a perfect stirring result.

Are they solid substances such as powder or granules? Liquids such as water, oils, flavors? Or do you have a mixture of two different substances, solids and liquids or liquids and gases? This primarily influences the choice of agitator and the performance of the agitator drive.

If the viscosity is high, the substance is more viscous, like honey. If it is low, the substance is therefore more liquid, like water (<a href=\"https:\/\/ptm-mechatronics.com\/en\/grundlagen-guide\/viskositaet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For a more detailed explanation, please also read our article on viscosity in our PTM Wiki<\/a>.). The viscosity has a strong influence on the performance of the agitator drive to be selected. Higher viscosity requires higher torque.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies to density. Media with different densities can also be present in an agitating substance. For example, when granules or powder have to be added to liquids. Substances with a higher density, i.e. the granulate or powder, sink to the bottom. The mixing process, i.e. the distribution of solids in liquids, is called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ptm-mechatronics.com\/en\/grundlagen-guide\/suspendieren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Suspend<\/a>. Solids can also have different densities. The mixing process is called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ptm-mechatronics.com\/en\/grundlagen-guide\/feststoffmischen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mixing solids<\/a>. Make sure you use the right agitator for such processes. Agitators with high shear forces, such as the dissolver disk, are perfect for breaking up solids and distributing them in a liquid. Spiral agitators ensure optimum mixing of solids.<\/p>\n<p>Points 1 and 2 together will tell you which stirring task applies to you.

Small to medium-sized agitators are usually hobbocks (approx. 30 l), drums (approx. between 100 and 500 l) or large IBC containers (approx. 600 to 1,200 liters). Of course, there are also large systems with thousands of liters, such as waste water treatment. The size of the container primarily defines the size, shape and number of agitators and the agitator shaft length.<\/p>\n<p>The type of container also determines the design of the agitator on the container.

For example, explosive gases may be produced during agitation, as is often the case in the chemical industry. In this case, your agitators require\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ptm-mechatronics.com\/en\/grundlagen-guide\/atex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ATEX<\/a>-certificates. Some processes are hygienically critical, for example in the food, cosmetics or pharmaceutical industries, and require the sterile environment of a cleanroom and the ability to sterilize components. The guidelines for pharmaceutical and food conformity must be observed. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ptm-mechatronics.com\/en\/grundlagen-guide\/ip67-und-ip68\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Protection class IP67<\/a> plays a role in applications in damp environments or those that require frequent wet cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>This in turn influences the material and properties of the agitators themselves, as well as the components that come into contact with the media, such as the agitator shaft, agitator element and container. For example, ATEX-certified agitators are used for special requirements, while robust materials are used for hygienic applications.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ptm-mechatronics.com\/en\/product-category\/ruehrwerkstechnik\/?swoof=1&amp;pa_reinraumklassifizierung=iso1-nach-din14644&amp;paged=1&amp;really_curr_tax=595-product_cat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stainless steel<\/a>.
