The side shaker for ethanol fermentation is equipment designed to maintain the homogeneity of the must in large reservoirs, ensuring ideal contact between the yeasts and sugars. Installing an Industrial agitatorLateral/Horizontal on the tank wall prevents the decantation of solids and optimizes temperature control during the biological process.
With 15 years in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market, Agimix develops robust systems to serve the sugar-energy industry. Our projects are focused exclusively on the agitation and circulation system, being custom-sized to be installed in large tanks that the plant already has or will build.
The choice of a high-performance side shaker is essential for plants seeking to maximize alcoholic yield. Our equipment offers ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability in the fermentation process, even in continuous and severe harvest campaigns.
In addition to promoting efficient mixing, the agitator for ethanol plants reduces dead zones inside the reservoir. This results in faster and more stable fermentation, protecting your investment and raising the productivity of your biofuel plant to a new level of excellence.
The optimized design of the side shaker ensures complete suspension of the yeast, maximizing the conversion of sugars into ethanol.
Designed for quick stops, the Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal allows the exchange of mechanical seals with a full tank, reducing downtime.
The use of propellers with a hydrodynamic profile provides vigorous stirring of the wort with less power required from the electric motor.
Manufactured with corrosion-resistant materials, the equipment withstands the acidic environment of fermentation, ensuring long useful life during the harvest.
The agitation system is sized specifically for the diameter and volume of the customer's tank, eliminating dead zones in the process.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The fermentation side shaker is equipment fixed to the base of the wall of large tanks to homogenize the must and yeast. It ensures that the temperature and concentration of nutrients are uniform throughout the volume, optimizing biofuel production.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the industrial agitation system to be installed in the customer's reservoir. Our projects are custom-sized to operate in large tanks that the plant already has or plans to build.
Maintenance is carried out through a mechanical shut-off system integrated into the side entry agitator. This mechanism temporarily seals the shaft, allowing the change of the mechanical seal or the bearings without the need to empty the wort from the tank.
The most recommended material is 304 or 316L stainless steel, due to the natural acidity of the alcoholic fermentation process. The choice of these alloys for the Industrial agitatorLateral/Horizontal prevents corrosion and guarantees the structural integrity of the equipment over several harvests.
The quantity varies from one to four horizontal stirrers, depending on the total diameter of the reservoir and the viscosity of the fluid. Our engineering team performs fluid dynamics calculations to determine the exact configuration that will eliminate mixing dead zones.
No, as we use high hydrodynamic performance propellers that generate large flow with low drag. This means that the electric motor requires less power to move large volumes of wort, resulting in energy savings for the plant.
The lack of efficient agitation causes the yeast to settle at the bottom of the tank and the formation of temperature gradients. This stresses the microorganisms, drastically reduces the alcoholic yield and can lead to contamination or loss of the fermentation batch.
We guarantee efficiency through rigorous technical sizing based on 15 years of experience in industrial agitation and mixing. We analyze the dimensions of your tank and the characteristics of the wort to provide robust equipment, ensuring continuous operational reliability.
