Horizontal Shaker for Syrups and Drink Concentrates

Overview

The horizontal shaker for the beverage industry is equipment specifically designed to homogenize syrups and concentrates in large capacity reservoirs. Installed on the side wall of the tank, this system creates an intense directional flow that guarantees perfect dilution of the ingredients, avoiding the decantation of sugars without incorporating air into the final product.

In the production of soft drinks and juices, the high density and viscosity of syrups require continuous and vigorous movement. The Agitador industrialLateral/Horizontal works by generating a circulation current that sweeps the entire bottom of the container. It is essential to highlight that we supply the complete agitation system, custom-sized to be installed in the large tank that your factory already has, optimizing your current infrastructure without the need to purchase new tanks.

Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, developing technologies that meet the most rigorous sanitary standards in the food sector. Our side shakers offer high performance, combined with ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability in your beverage production process.

Frequently asked questions

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

What is a horizontal shaker for syrups and concentrates?

The horizontal stirrer is a piece of equipment fixed to the side of a reservoir to mix dense liquids, such as beverage syrups. It uses a short shaft and a high-flow propeller to move large volumes of product with low energy consumption, ensuring perfectly diluted syrup.

Does Agimix supply large volume tanks to the beverage industry?

No, Agimix exclusively supplies the side agitation system to be coupled to the tank that the customer already has. Our own reservoirs are only manufactured for volumes up to 10,000 liters, while for larger capacities we deliver the complete mixing design for integration into the plant's existing infrastructure.

How does the side shaker prevent the sugar from settling in the syrup?

The Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal generates a directed jet that crosses the diameter of the tank, creating a continuous circulation current. This movement sweeps the bottom of the container and keeps the solids in suspension, preventing sugar from accumulating at the bottom.

What material is used to manufacture the drink shaker?

All components in contact with the product are manufactured in 304 or 316L stainless steel, with polishing and sanitary finishing. This guarantees total food safety and facilitates the CIP (Clean in Place) cleaning processes required by beverage industry standards.

Is it possible to install the agitator in a tank that is already in operation?

Yes, the side agitator can be easily adapted to existing tanks using a standard fixing flange. Our engineering team evaluates the geometry of your current tank to determine the best angle and ideal installation position.

How is the seal made to prevent syrup leaks?

Sealing is carried out using a high-performance sanitary mechanical seal. This component supports the pressures of the liquid column and prevents any type of leakage or contamination of the beverage concentrate, ensuring clean and safe operation.

Why choose a horizontal shaker over a vertical one for large volumes?

For very tall or large diameter reservoirs, the horizontal agitator has a lower acquisition and maintenance cost, as it eliminates the need for extremely long vertical shafts. It provides efficient mixing with less vibration, less mechanical wear and easy access for maintenance.

How does Agimix size the ideal agitator for my factory?

Sizing considers the viscosity of the syrup, the density of the concentrate and the exact dimensions of the customer's tank. With this technical data, our engineers calculate the engine power and propeller profile necessary to guarantee complete homogenization in the shortest possible time.
