Side Shaker for Cellulose Pulp Mixing | Agimix

Overview

The side agitator for cellulose pulp is an industrial equipment designed to guarantee continuous homogenization and avoid decantation of fibers in large reservoirs. Agimix provides the complete agitation system to be installed directly in the tank that the customer already has, ensuring the ideal consistency of the cellulosic mass.

Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, serving the industry in general with excellence. We developed our side industrial shaker with a focus on high performance, combining robust engineering with ease of installation and maintenance in pulp and paper plants.

In the paper industry, storage and process tanks tend to have gigantic dimensions. Therefore, our specialty is to provide the agitation and circulation system tailored to your project, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability in the process without the need to supply a large reservoir.

Investing in suitable horizontal agitation equipment means reducing unscheduled stops and optimizing the plant's energy consumption. Our projects are designed to withstand the severe demands of the paper and cellulose industry, always keeping the pulp at the correct density for the next stages of production.

Frequently asked questions

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

What is a cellulose pulp side shaker?

The side shaker for cellulose pulp is equipment installed on the wall of large tanks to keep the paper mass in suspension. It prevents the fibers from settling at the bottom of the tank, ensuring a homogeneous mixture essential for the quality of the paper.

Does Agimix supply giant tanks to the paper industry?

No, Agimix does not manufacture large tanks for the pulp and paper industry. We exclusively supply the complete agitation system, which is custom designed to be installed in the customer's existing reservoir.

What are the advantages of side entry agitator?

The main advantage of the side entry agitator is the ability to move large volumes of fluid with less energy consumption. Furthermore, the lateral industrial agitator from Agimix offers extreme ease of installation and maintenance.

What is the ideal manufacturing material for stirring cellulose dough?

The most recommended material is 304 or 316L stainless steel, due to its high resistance to corrosion and abrasion. The use of these alloys guarantees the durability of the equipment even in constant contact with the chemicals present in the pulp.

How is the shaft seal made in the horizontal agitator?

Sealing is carried out predominantly by means of a mechanical seal, which can be single or double. This component is vital to prevent cellulose pulp from leaking from the side of the tank, ensuring operational safety.

What type of propeller is used in cellulose blending?

We use high-performance marine profile propellers, designed to generate a strong and continuous axial flow. This design pushes the cellulosic mass through the tank, promoting efficient circulation without damaging the fibers.

How to size the engine power for the cellulose tank?

The sizing directly depends on the volume of the customer's tank and the consistency of the cellulose pulp. Our engineering team calculates the ideal power and rotation to ensure complete movement of the fluid without wasting energy.

Does the equipment support continuous operation 24 hours a day?

Yes, the industrial agitator is designed for continuous and severe work. The robustness of the mechanical components ensures reliability in the process, minimizing the need for unscheduled stops in the plant.
