The horizontal agitator for blending lubricating oils is equipment designed to ensure the perfect homogenization of mineral and synthetic bases and additives in storage tanks. Installed on the side of the customer's reservoir, this system creates an intense directional flow that eliminates settling and ensures absolute quality of the final product.
In the petrochemical industry, efficient mixing in large volumes is crucial. Agimix's IndustrialLateral/Horizontal Agitator offers high performance combined with ease of installation and maintenance, making it the ideal solution for reservoirs where vertical agitation is structurally unfeasible. We supply the complete agitation system, rigorously dimensioned to be coupled to the large tanks that your plant already has.
With a solid track record, Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, serving the industry in general with technical excellence. Our projects focus on operational efficiency and process reliability, delivering robust equipment that supports the continuous and severe demands of producing high-performance lubricants.
The optimized directional flow ensures complete mixing of bases and additives, avoiding stratification of the final product.
The Industrial shakerLateral/Horizontal provides high performance with lower energy consumption in large volumes.
Equipped with a high performance mechanical seal, it prevents leaks and guarantees the environmental safety of the petrochemical plant.
The ease of installation and maintenance reduces machine downtime, optimizing the industry's operating costs.
We dimension the ideal agitation system to be installed directly in the large tank that your company already has.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The horizontal blending agitator is equipment installed on the side of industrial tanks to mix base oils and additives. It creates a continuous flow that guarantees the homogeneity of the lubricant, being essential for reservoirs where vertical agitation is not viable due to the height.
The equipment works by propelling the fluid through a high-performance impeller positioned on the side of the reservoir. This action generates a circulation current that sweeps the entire bottom of the tank, promoting the efficient mixing of components with different densities and viscosities.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the complete agitation system to be coupled to the tank that the customer already has in the plant. Our own reservoirs are limited to 10,000 liters, so for large petrochemical volumes we focus entirely on mixing and agitation technology.
The main advantage is the ease of installation and maintenance in very tall storage tanks or with large volumetric capacity. The Industrial agitatorLateral/Horizontal avoids the need for extremely long shafts, reducing mechanical vibrations and structural costs.
Leak prevention is achieved through the use of a high performance mechanical seal in the area where the shaft contacts the fluid. This rigorous sealing system guarantees process reliability and protects the environment against accidental oil spills.
The equipment is manufactured in carbon steel or stainless steel (304 and 316L), depending on the chemical aggressiveness of the additives used in blending. This careful choice of materials ensures the durability of the equipment against corrosion and continuous mechanical wear.
Yes, the side agitator is sized with motors and reducers suitable to withstand the resistance of highly viscous fluids. The engineering design takes into account the specific viscosity of the oil to guarantee operational efficiency without overloading the driving system.
Some models can be equipped with a mechanical shut-off system that allows the seal and bearings to be changed without the need to empty the tank. This represents an immense gain in plant availability and a drastic reduction in operational maintenance costs.
