The horizontal agitator for paint and varnish storage tanks is equipment designed to maintain the homogeneity of chemical formulations and prevent the sedimentation of solids at the bottom of the tanks. Installed on the side of the side, this system guarantees the continuous movement of the fluid, being essential to preserve the quality and correct viscosity of the products during long periods of storage.
In the chemical industry, phase separation and the accumulation of pigments generate severe batch losses and rework. To solve this challenge, the Lateral/Horizontal Industrial Agitator works by creating a directional flow that sweeps the bottom of the tank, promoting the suspension of solids and the mixing of paints and varnishes with low energy consumption. It is worth mentioning that we supply the complete agitation system, custom-sized to be installed in the large tank that the customer already has in the plant.
Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, manufacturing agitators, tanks, reactors, mixers, dispersers and related equipment to serve the industry in general. Our AGIMIX side agitators offer high performance, combined with ease of installation and maintenance, guaranteeing operational efficiency and total reliability in the production process of your paint factory.
Keeps pigments and resins in continuous suspension, preventing sedimentation at the bottom of the tank and batch losses.
The Lateral/Horizontal Industrial Agitator moves large volumes of paints and varnishes with lower power motors compared to top systems.
Equipped with a mechanical seal or high-performance gasket, ensuring total tightness against leaks of solvents and chemicals.
The intelligent design allows the exchange of seals and bearings in a simplified way, significantly reducing machine downtime.
We design the side agitation system with the exact propeller profile for the rheology of your product, adapting perfectly to the existing tank in your plant.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The horizontal agitator for storage tanks is equipment fixed to the side of the reservoir to move fluids and prevent the decantation of solids. It creates a directional flow that sweeps the bottom of the tank, being essential for maintaining the homogeneity of paints and varnishes during prolonged storage.
The side agitator is the ideal choice for large tanks because it requires less structural investment and consumes less energy. As the installation takes place at the bottom of the side, the Industrial Lateral/Horizontal Agitator does not require extremely long shafts, facilitating maintenance and ensuring the suspension of pigments efficiently.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the side shaking system sized for your project. The customer uses their own large tank, and our engineering designs the industrial agitator with the exact flange and specifications for perfect integration into your existing tank.
Maintenance is facilitated by a mechanical locking system available on specific models. This mechanism makes it possible to isolate the shaft and the mechanical seal, making it possible to exchange components without the need to empty the paint and varnish tanks, optimizing operating time.
We use high-performance mechanical seals (single or double) or gaskets, depending on the chemical aggressiveness and pressure of the fluid. This configuration guarantees absolute tightness, preventing leaks of volatile solvents and guaranteeing the safety of the industrial plant.
Yes, the equipment is specifically designed for the rheology of the product. For more viscous fluids, we configure the horizontal agitator with high-torque geared motors and special profile propellers, ensuring the movement of the entire mass without overloading the engine.
The wetted parts (shaft and propeller) are manufactured in 304 or 316L Stainless Steel, materials that offer excellent resistance to corrosion caused by solvents and resins. In specific cases, the side agitator can receive special coatings to withstand highly abrasive products.
We guarantee efficiency through a rigorous sizing calculation based on your tank volume, ink density and viscosity. Our 15 years of experience allow us to design the Lateral/Horizontal Industrial Agitator with the correct inclination angle and positioning to eliminate dead zones inside the reservoir.
