Industrial Agitator for Liquid Fertilizer Tanks

Overview

The agitator for liquid fertilizer storage tanks is equipment specifically designed to maintain the homogeneity of the mixture and prevent the sedimentation of suspended solids during prolonged storage. By promoting continuous fluid circulation, this system ensures that nutrients remain evenly distributed, avoiding phase separation and ensuring the final quality of the agricultural product.

In the pesticide and foliar nutrition industry, formulation stability is a critical challenge. To solve this, we use the Agitador industrialLateral/Horizontal or the Agitador Vertical, which are custom-sized to be installed in the reservoirs that the customer already has. It is important to highlight that we provide the complete agitation system for large volumes, integrating our equipment with the large tanks of your plant, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability in the process.

Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, developing projects with advanced engineering to maximize process efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Our equipment, such as high shear pumps for recirculation, are ideal for breaking lumps, delivering high performance even in high density and viscosity formulations.

For smaller-scale operations or prior preparation, we also manufacture Industrial Process Tanks and Reservoirs and Industrial Process Reactors with capacities of up to 10,000 liters. This equipment guarantees excellent productivity, combining technology and highly corrosion-resistant materials, essential factors for the safe handling of liquid fertilizers and agrochemicals.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is a liquid fertilizer storage tank agitator?

The agitator for liquid fertilizer storage tank is a mechanical equipment designed to keep the mixture in continuous movement within the reservoir. Its main function is to prevent phase separation and decantation of particles, ensuring that the final product maintains its ideal concentration of nutrients until shipping.

Why is it necessary to shake liquid fertilizers during storage?

Agitation is necessary because many agricultural formulations contain suspended solids that tend to settle over time. The use of an industrial agitator prevents sedimentation at the bottom of the tank, ensuring the homogeneity of the mixture and avoiding loss of quality or clogging in the pumping lines.

Does Agimix supply large tanks for fertilizer plants?

Agimix does not manufacture large reservoirs for massive storage. We supply the complete agitation system, such as the Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal, sized and installed directly in the storage tank that the customer already has in their plant. For smaller processes, we manufacture tanks of up to 10,000 liters.

What is the best type of agitator to prevent sedimentation in large reservoirs?

The Industrial ShakerLateral/Horizontal is usually the most efficient choice for large storage volumes. It provides excellent fluid circulation at the bottom of the tank, sweeping away solids and ensuring operational efficiency with lower structural installation costs in very tall reservoirs.

What materials are used in the manufacture of agrochemical agitators?

Our equipment is predominantly manufactured in 304 or 316L stainless steel, materials that offer excellent resistance to corrosion caused by liquid fertilizers. In cases of extremely aggressive formulations, we can apply special coatings to the rods and propellers to maximize durability.

How does clump breaking work in fertilizer formulations?

Lump breaking is carried out using high shear equipment integrated into the process. We use high shear pumps ideal for process recirculation, which disintegrate agglomerates and guarantee a fine and stable dispersion before the product goes to the final storage tank.

Can vertical agitator be used in storage tanks?

Yes, the Vertical Agitator can be used, especially in medium-sized tanks or vertical cylindrical reservoirs. It is developed with advanced engineering to maximize mixing efficiency and reduce energy consumption, being positioned at the top of the tank to generate axial or radial flow.

How do I size the agitator power for my fertilizer tank?

Sizing requires the analysis of factors such as the tank volume, the density, the viscosity of the liquid fertilizer and the solids decantation rate. Agimix engineering evaluates all these parameters to design a tailored system, ensuring perfect agitation without wasting energy.
