The side agitator for preparing polymers and flocculants is an industrial equipment specifically designed to ensure the homogeneous dissolution of chemical agents in Effluent Treatment Stations (ETEs). Its main function is to keep solid or liquid particles in continuous suspension, avoiding decantation at the bottom of the reservoir and ensuring the correct dosage of products in the environmental treatment line.
The application of polymers requires strict agitation control, as these products tend to form insoluble lumps if they are not mixed with the correct hydrodynamics. To solve this challenge, the Lateral/Horizontal industrial agitator creates a directed flow that sweeps the bottom and walls of the tank, promoting efficient and low-shear mixing, ideal for not breaking the delicate molecular chains of the flocculant.
Agimix has been in the solutions market for 15 years in industrial agitation and mixing, developing technologies that meet the most rigorous requirements of the sanitation sector. It is important to highlight that we supply the complete agitation system sized to be installed directly in the large tank that the customer already has in their plant, ensuring perfect integration without the need to replace the existing civil infrastructure.
Our equipment offers high performance, combined with ease of installation and maintenance. This means that your operation gains in operational efficiency and process reliability, reducing unscheduled stops and optimizing the consumption of chemical reagents during the treatment of water and industrial effluents.
The hydrodynamic design guarantees the homogeneous mixing of polymers, avoiding the formation of agglomerates and the consequent waste of chemical products.
AGIMIX lateral agitators offer high performance with low energy consumption, optimizing treatment plant costs.
Designed to guarantee ease of installation and maintenance, allowing quick interventions in the sealing system without emptying large tanks.
Made from noble alloys such as 316L stainless steel, they withstand constant contact with flocculants, coagulants and aggressive effluents.
The equipment is custom-sized to be coupled to the customer's existing tank, respecting the geometry and volume of the ETE reservoir.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The side agitator for polymer preparation is equipment fixed to the wall of a tank to promote the mixing of chemical products in Effluent Treatment Plants. It generates a directed horizontal flow that guarantees the complete dissolution of flocculants, preventing the product from settling at the bottom of the reservoir.
The side agitator is the ideal choice for large volume tanks where installing a top agitator would require excessively long shafts and expensive support bridges. This configuration reduces structural costs and facilitates drive maintenance at ground level.
Lump prevention occurs through the use of high-flow, low-shear impellers, which disperse the powder or liquid quickly into the water before it clumps. The Lateral Industrial Agitator creates vigorous circulation that hydrates the particles evenly.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the agitation and mixing system custom designed for your application. Our equipment is sized to be installed directly in the tank or reservoir that the customer already has in their industrial plant.
The most recommended material is 316L stainless steel or higher alloys, due to its excellent resistance to chemical corrosion. In cases of extremely aggressive effluents or polymers, the shaft and propeller can receive special coatings in polymers or resins.
Maintenance can be carried out through a shut-off system (shaft retraction), which seals the tank internally and allows the mechanical seal or gasket to be changed from the outside. This guarantees ease of maintenance without the need to empty thousands of liters of effluent.
The most suitable profile is the hydrofoil propeller, which generates a high-efficiency axial flow with low power consumption. This design prevents the breakage of the polymer's molecular chains, ensuring reliability in the flocculation process.
No, modern side shakers are designed to offer high performance with low energy consumption. The combination of high-performance gearmotors with optimized hydrodynamic impellers guarantees the operational efficiency of the treatment plant.
