The agitator for biofuel fermenters is an industrial equipment designed to ensure ideal homogenization of the wort and efficient mass transfer during the production of ethanol and biodiesel. By maintaining the suspension of solids and uniform temperature distribution, this system accelerates the kinetics of the chemical and biological reaction, being indispensable for plants that seek to maximize the performance of their fermentation vats.
With 15 years of experience in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market, Agimix develops tailor-made projects for the sugar-energy and biofuels sector. We know that industrial plants operate with massive volumes, so we supply the complete high performance agitation system to be installed directly in the large reservoirs and vats that the customer already has, ensuring perfect integration without the need to supply a large tank.
To meet the rigorous demands of corn and sugarcane ethanol plants, we use cutting-edge equipment such as the Vertical Agitator, which features advanced engineering to reduce energy consumption and ensure high operational performance. Depending on the customer's tank geometry, the application of Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal offers ease of installation and maintenance, maintaining operational efficiency at maximum levels throughout the harvest.
In addition to alcoholic fermentation, the transesterification process requires vigorous mixing. Our equipment, including the Mechanical Circulator (often adapted from its excellence in sugar cooking to optimize complex flows in other stages), ensure reliability in the production process. Investing in an industrial mixer for biodiesel from Agimix means avoiding dead zones in the reactor, resulting in a biofuel of greater purity and within the quality standards required by the market.
The perfect homogenization of the must increases the contact between yeast and sugars, increasing the fermentation performance in ethanol plants.
The hydrodynamic design of our Vertical Agitator maximizes flow with lower installed power, ensuring superior energy efficiency.
Designed for the harsh harvest regime, our equipment has reinforced shafts and impellers that withstand the high density of the fluid without mechanical failures.
The use of Side Agitator allows quick interventions without the need to empty large vats, drastically reducing machine downtime.
We dimension the industrial agitation system specifically for the geometry of the customer's existing tank, avoiding dead zones and accumulation of solids at the bottom.

AGIMIX side entry agitators offer high performance, combined with ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring operational efficiency and process reliability.
AGIMIX industrial agitators are developed with advanced engineering to maximize process efficiency, reducing energy consumption and ensuring high operational performance.
Agimix mechanical circulators are designed to optimize the sugar cooking process.
Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The shaker for ethanol fermenters is a rotating equipment designed to keep the must in constant movement inside the vats. It prevents yeast from decanting and guarantees a uniform temperature, crucial factors for maintaining a high alcohol conversion rate throughout the production process.
The industrial mixer for biodiesel works by promoting intimate mixing between vegetable or animal oil, alcohol and the catalyst inside the transesterification reactor. This vigorous stirring accelerates the chemical reaction, ensuring efficient separation of the glycerin and the production of a high purity biofuel.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the agitation and mixing system to be installed in the reservoirs that the plant already has. Our engineers size and manufacture the custom-made Vertical Agitator or lateral to operate perfectly inside the customer's large tank.
The main advantage of the Lateral Agitator is the ease of installation and maintenance at the base of large reservoirs, without the need for complex structures at the top. It generates a strong directional flow that sweeps the bottom of the tank, preventing the accumulation of solids and ensuring the homogeneity of the wort.
Yes, all of our ethanol and biodiesel agitation systems can be configured with explosion-proof motors and panels. This guarantees total operational safety in environments where flammable gases and volatile vapors are present.
The Mechanical Circulator improves efficiency by forcing a high-flow axial flow, optimizing thermal exchange and mixing of dense fluids. Although it is widely recognized in sugar cooking, its robustness makes it excellent for moving heavy masses, reducing the plant's energy consumption.
The agitators are predominantly manufactured in 304 or 316L Stainless Steel, materials that offer very high resistance to corrosion caused by acids and fermentation by-products. The use of these noble alloys guarantees the long useful life of the equipment, even when operating uninterruptedly during the harvest.
The sizing is done through engineering calculations that consider the volume of the tank, the viscosity of the fluid, the density and the purpose of the mixture. Our technical team designs the impeller profile and engine power to guarantee maximum hydrodynamic efficiency, delivering a completely customized project for your plant.
