The horizontal agitator for ore suspensions is an industrial equipment designed to keep solid particles in constant suspension inside process tanks. This solution prevents the decantation of mineral slurries at the bottom of the reservoirs and guarantees the homogeneity essential for metallurgical extraction and ore processing.
Agimix has been operating in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, developing robust systems for the most severe operating conditions. It is important to highlight that we supply the complete agitation system to be installed in the large tank that the customer already has in the plant, ensuring the perfect integration of our mixing equipment into your existing infrastructure without the need to replace your tank.
For this type of heavy application, the Agitador industrialLateral/Horizontal from Agimix offers high performance combined with ease of installation and maintenance. The design focuses on operational efficiency and process reliability, supporting the high abrasiveness typical of ore slurries and ensuring a continuous and directional flow.
Investing in a suitable side agitation system means reducing unscheduled stops and optimizing the plant's energy consumption. Our projects are custom-sized to support the high densities of the mining industry, delivering consistent, long-lasting and cost-effective results for your operation.
The optimized design guarantees continuous movement of the pulp, avoiding decantation and maintaining the homogeneity of the mixture throughout the tank volume.
Manufactured with highly durable materials, the equipment withstands severe wear caused by suspended solid particles typical of mining.
The Industrial agitatorLateral/Horizontal allows quick and safe interventions, reducing downtime of the metallurgical plant.
The precise sizing of the propeller maximizes axial flow, delivering excellent hydrodynamic performance with less electrical energy consumption.
Designed to be installed directly on the side of the customer's reservoir, facilitating assembly in large tanks already existing in the plant.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The horizontal agitator for ore suspensions is equipment fixed to the side of industrial tanks to keep solid particles in continuous movement. It generates a directional flow that sweeps the bottom of the reservoir, preventing the mineral pulp from settling and damaging the metallurgical process.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the complete agitation system to be installed in the tank that the customer already has. Our projects are customized to adapt perfectly to the geometry and dimensions of large-scale reservoirs in your plant.
The Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal is more advantageous in tanks with very large volumes, as it requires simpler support structures and facilitates maintenance at ground level. Furthermore, it is highly effective in sweeping the bottom of the tank and preventing the accumulation of heavy solids.
Resistance is guaranteed by the use of special metal alloys and sacrificial coatings, such as rubber or polyurethane, on the parts in contact with the fluid. This protects the shaft and propellers from abrasive wear, significantly extending the useful life of the equipment.
We use robust sealing systems, such as double mechanical seal or lantern ring gaskets for barrier fluid injection. This configuration is essential to prevent abrasive pulp leaks from the side of the tank, ensuring operational and environmental safety.
Yes, the speed can be controlled by installing a frequency inverter in the electrical control panel. This makes it possible to adapt the rotation of the industrial agitator to variations in the density and viscosity of the mineral suspension during the different phases of the process.
Sizing is carried out by our engineering based on the properties of the fluid, such as density, viscosity, percentage of solids and dimensions of the customer's tank. With this data, we calculate the ideal power and type of impeller to guarantee the total suspension of particles with maximum efficiency.
This equipment is widely required in leaching processes, pulp storage tanks, reagent preparation and effluent neutralization. In all these steps, continuous homogenization is critical to ensure the efficiency of chemical reactions and maximum recovery of valuable ore.
