The mechanical circulator for large volume fermenters is industrial equipment designed to guarantee the perfect homogenization of fluids in high capacity processes. This solution promotes the uniform distribution of nutrients and temperature, being essential for maximizing production yield in biofuel plants and chemical industries.
In fermentation vats for ethanol production, the absence of dead zones is crucial for yeast activity. Our Mechanical Circulator Agitators acts directly on the movement of the must, avoiding the decantation of solids and maintaining ideal conditions for the conversion of sugars. Originally developed to optimize the sugar cooking process, these systems have proven to be highly efficient also in ethanol fermentation.
Agimix has been operating in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, delivering robust and reliable projects. It is important to highlight that we exclusively supply the custom-made mechanical circulation system to be installed in the reservoir that the customer already has in the plant. We do not manufacture the large tanks used in plants, focusing all our expertise on engineering the agitation equipment to ensure maximum performance of your process.
Investing in an industrial mechanical circulator from Agimix means reducing cycle time and increasing the productivity of your plant. Our designs consider the rheology of the fluid and the geometry of your existing tank, delivering a customized mixing system that reduces energy consumption and minimizes downtime for maintenance.
The mechanical circulator eliminates dead zones in the tank, ensuring the uniform distribution of nutrients to the yeasts.
It promotes excellent thermal exchange, maintaining the ideal fermentation temperature and avoiding heat peaks that harm yield.
Manufactured with high resistance materials, the mechanical circulation system withstands the severe operating conditions of an ethanol plant.
The hydrodynamic design of the Mechanical Circulator Agitators requires less engine power to move large volumes of fluid.
Agimix sizes the agitation equipment specifically for the geometry of your existing vat, ensuring perfect integration.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The mechanical circulator for fermenters is industrial equipment designed to move and homogenize large volumes of fluids. It works by forcing the flow of must inside the vats, which guarantees the uniform distribution of nutrients and temperature throughout the production cycle.
No, Agimix does not manufacture or supply large reservoirs for the sugar-energy sector. We exclusively supply the agitation and circulation system, which is custom-designed to be installed directly into the fermentation tank that the customer already has in their plant.
The equipment improves fermentation by preventing yeast decantation and keeping the must in constant movement. With the use of Mechanical Circulator Agitators, the process reaches a homogeneous temperature, accelerating the conversion of sugars and increasing the alcoholic yield.
Yes, our systems were originally developed to optimize the sugar cooking process. The robustness of the mechanical circulator allows it to handle high viscosity fluids, ensuring adequate crystallization and thermal efficiency in the sugar industry.
The equipment is predominantly manufactured in AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel, depending on the aggressiveness of the fluid. This choice of materials guarantees high resistance to corrosion and meets the strict hygiene standards required in fermentation processes.
The sizing is carried out based on the analysis of the geometry of the customer's tank and the physical-chemical properties of the fluid. Agimix engineering calculates the power, impeller diameter and ideal rotation so that the mixing equipment achieves the necessary circulation flow without wasting energy.
The main advantage is precise flow control and a drastic reduction in foam formation. Mechanical circulation offers a gentler, more energy-efficient mixing, protecting yeast from excessive shear stress in industrial fermenters.
No, the equipment is designed to operate continuously with little need for intervention. The drive system and seals are selected to withstand long harvests, simply following the lubrication and preventive inspection plan for the gearmotor and bearings.
