The use of CFD for multifunctional agitators in the food industry is an advanced engineering technique that uses computational fluid dynamics to simulate and optimize the flow of fluids within a tank. This technology allows you to predict exactly how the ingredients behave during the process, ensuring an efficient mixing of liquids and pastes even before the equipment is manufactured.
For food processing, dealing with different textures and densities is a constant challenge. It is in this scenario that the Multifunctional Agitator stands out, being widely recommended for mixing pasty products with high viscosity. The application of virtual simulation ensures that the propellers and impellers are sized with millimeter precision, avoiding dead zones in the batch and waste of raw materials.
Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, developing complete and tailored projects for the industry in general. When the operation requires large volumes that exceed our reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters, we supply the high performance agitation system perfectly sized to be installed in the large tank that the customer already has, ensuring total integration on the factory floor.
Investing in a project validated by CFD fluid simulation means reducing batch time and raising the quality standard of the final product. Our engineers analyze complex variables such as shear rate and heat transfer, delivering industrial stirring equipment that meets the most stringent sanitary standards in the food sector.
fluid dynamic simulation allows you to visualize the behavior of the fluid, eliminating dead zones and ensuring perfect homogenization of the batch.
By optimizing the design of the Multifunctional Agitator, we were able to reduce the mixing time of pasty products, increasing factory productivity.
The CFD study for agitators calculates the hydrodynamic forces on the shaft and propellers, preventing excessive vibrations and extending the useful life of the equipment.
The correct sizing of the motor and impeller reduces electrical energy consumption, providing more economical operation for the food industry.
We develop the complete stirring system based on the rheological properties of your recipe, ensuring full suitability for the high viscosity of your product.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
CFD simulation (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a technology that creates a virtual model of the tank and fluid to analyze the behavior of the mixture. In the food industry, it is used to predict the flow of ingredients, ensuring that the equipment is built with the ideal geometry to avoid waste and homogenization failures.
The use of CFD ensures that the Multifunctional Agitator is perfectly sized for mixing pasty products. This virtual analysis identifies flow bottlenecks before manufacturing, ensuring that the equipment will handle the high viscosity without overloading the engine or leaving unmixed zones.
Agimix manufactures its own reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters. For higher volumes required in large industrial plants, we supply the complete agitation system and install it directly in the tank the customer already has, guaranteeing the same high mixing performance without the need to manufacture a new pressure vessel.
Software analysis reveals areas of low circulation within the container, known as dead zones. By adjusting the angle and type of industrial agitator blades based on this precise data, we optimize the internal flow, which drastically reduces batch time and increases the factory's production capacity.
This equipment is widely recommended for mixing pasty products with high viscosity. In the food industry, this includes batters, creams, thick sauces, candies, extracts and other dense formulations that require a robust stirring system to ensure a smooth, even texture.
Yes, hydrodynamic analysis accurately calculates the drag and torsional forces that the viscous fluid exerts on moving rods and blades. With this information, we design a stirring shaft with the correct thickness and material to withstand the mechanical load without any risk of rupture or premature fatigue.
To strictly comply with the standards of the food industry, the equipment is manufactured in 304 or 316L stainless steel. These noble materials receive high-quality sanitary polishing, which facilitates CIP (Clean in Place) cleaning processes and prevents the proliferation of bacteria or cross-contamination of food.
Yes, we can apply CFD simulation using the exact dimensions of your current reservoir. Based on this detailed study, Agimix designs and manufactures a new customized agitation system (retrofit), which will be installed in your existing equipment to modernize and significantly improve the efficiency of your process.
