Mixer for Industrial Horizontal Crystallizer | Agimix

Overview

The mixer for horizontal crystallizer is an industrial equipment designed to ensure continuous homogenization and precise thermal control during the crystallization process of masses and syrups. Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, providing robust systems that prevent decantation and ensure uniform crystal formation in critical processes.

In sectors such as sugarcane, chemical and food industries, the efficiency of crystallization directly depends on the adequate movement of the fluid. Our agitation systems for crystallizers are designed to operate in high viscosity fluids, maintaining efficient thermal exchange and avoiding fouling on the equipment walls. It is worth mentioning that for plants and large industries, we supply the complete mixing system to be installed in the tank or large vessel that the customer already has.

For operations that require absolute precision, we integrate advanced technologies into our projects. An example of our technical capacity is the line of Ribbon Blender Mixers, custom-made in AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel with capacities ranging from 50 to 15,000 liters. This versatility allows it to handle everything from small pharmaceutical batches to large volumes of chemical and food processing.

Investing in a high performance industrial mixer means reducing cycle time and increasing the yield of the final product. Our engineering develops each project considering the rheological properties of your product, ensuring that the shaft and mixing blades support the necessary torque for continuous, safe operation with low maintenance costs.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is a horizontal crystallizer mixer and what is it for?

The horizontal crystallizer mixer is a mechanical system designed to keep high viscosity fluids in constant motion during cooling. It serves to guarantee the homogeneous formation of crystals and prevent the product from decanting at the bottom of the equipment.

How does agitation work in a mass crystallizer?

The agitation works through a central shaft with rotating paddles that move the mass slowly and continuously. This movement renews the fluid layer in contact with the heat exchange surface, accelerating crystallization in a uniform manner.

Does Agimix manufacture the crystallizer tank for power plants?

No, Agimix only provides the agitation and mixing system to be installed in the large tank that the customer already has. Our own reservoirs are limited to 10,000 liters, focusing our expertise on engineering fluid movement.

What material is used to manufacture horizontal mixers?

Our equipment, such as Ribbon Blender Mixers, are custom-made in AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel. This choice of material guarantees total sanitary compliance and high resistance against corrosion in chemical and food industries.

What volume capacity do Agimix mixers support?

The capacity varies according to the project, but our line of horizontal Ribbon Blender mixers serves volumes from 50 to 15,000 liters. For larger volumes in industrial crystallizers, we size the agitator to fit the customer's existing vessel.

Why is it important to control rotation in the crystallization process?

Rotation control is vital because shaking too quickly can break up the formed crystals, while shaking too slowly allows decantation. We use gearmotors with frequency inverters to adjust the exact speed required by the rheology of the product.

Which industries use horizontal mixer for crystallizer?

This equipment is widely used in the sugar, chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. It is essential in any process that requires the separation of solutes through the controlled crystallization of syrups and syrups.

How to avoid encrustation on the walls of the horizontal crystallizer?

To avoid encrustation, the mixer design must include blades with scrapers or minimum tolerances in relation to the equipment wall. This ensures that all product is constantly removed from the heat exchange surface, maintaining process efficiency.
