The side shaker for biodiesel production is equipment designed to ensure the efficient mixing of reagents during the critical transesterification and washing steps. Installed on the wall of the reservoirs, this system provides rapid and continuous homogenization, an essential factor for the final quality and yield of the biofuel.
In renewable energy plants, the volumes processed are usually immense. Therefore, Agimix provides the complete agitation system to be installed in the large tank that the customer already has. Our engineering designs the Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal tailored to your reservoir, ensuring adequate mass movement without the need to replace your current infrastructure.
Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, serving the industry in general with excellence. Our side agitators offer high performance combined with ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring operational efficiency and process reliability. Whether for the chemical reaction stage or for product purification, we deliver the necessary robustness so that your plant operates uninterruptedly and safely.
Optimizes the chemical reaction by ensuring perfect homogenization between the oil and alcohol, accelerating the production process.
The Industrial agitatorLateral/Horizontal is designed for simplified assembly, reducing downtime of the plant.
Equipped with robust mechanical sealing systems that prevent leaks of aggressive and flammable chemicals.
The optimized design of the impellers provides great mass movement with less electrical energy consumption.
We size the agitation system specifically for the customer's tank, ensuring ideal performance for each volume.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The side agitator is a piece of equipment fixed to the tank wall, responsible for promoting the mixing of reagents in the manufacture of biofuels. It creates a directional flow that moves large volumes of liquid, which is vital for the transesterification step.
No, Agimix only provides the agitation system, which is installed in the large tank that the customer already has. Our team designs the tailor-made Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal to ensure maximum efficiency in your existing reservoir.
Vigorous stirring is crucial to maximize contact between the triglycerides (oil) and alcohol (methanol or ethanol) in the presence of the catalyst. An efficient industrial mixer reduces reaction time and increases the yield of biodiesel produced.
Yes, the equipment is widely used in purification washing to remove impurities, residual glycerin and catalysts. The horizontal agitator promotes intimate contact between the washing water and the biodiesel without creating unwanted emulsions.
We manufacture the parts in contact with the product in 304 or 316L stainless steel, materials that are highly resistant to corrosion. This guarantees the durability of the equipment even in contact with aggressive chemicals used in the biofuel production process.
Sealing is carried out using high-performance mechanical seals, which can be single or double. This technology is essential to prevent leaks of flammable fluids, ensuring the operational safety of the plant.
No, Agimix equipment is developed with a focus on ease of maintenance. The design allows quick access to wear components such as seals and bearings, minimizing production downtime.
The sizing considers the volume of the tank, the viscosity of the fluids and the desired mixing time. With 15 years of experience, Agimix engineering calculates the ideal power and type of impeller for your mixing process.
