The retrofit of agitation systems for biofuel plants is the process of updating and modernizing mixing equipment installed in existing vats and reservoirs, aiming to increase the efficiency of wort fermentation and reduce cycle time. This modernization replaces obsolete components with high-performance technologies, ensuring superior homogenization without the need to change the plant's main infrastructure.
In ethanol and biodiesel plants, productivity directly depends on the quality of the mixture. It is important to highlight that Agimix exclusively supplies the complete and customized agitation and mixing system, designed to be installed in the large tank that the plant already has. Our solutions, such as the Lateral/Horizontal industrial agitator, offer high performance combined with ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring total operational efficiency in your current reservoir.
Proud to have been operating for 15 years in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market, Agimix develops advanced engineering projects for the sugar-energy sector. For critical stages, we offer the Mechanical Circulator, ideal for optimizing dense processes, and the Vertical Agitator, which maximizes process efficiency and drastically reduces the energy consumption of the plant.
Investing in updating your industrial agitation equipment means reducing unscheduled downtime and increasing the yield of biofuel production. Our technical team evaluates the geometry of your tank and the characteristics of the fluid to size the exact high efficiency impeller, delivering a robust, reliable solution with a quick return on investment.
The retrofit improves the homogenization of the must, accelerating the fermentation of biofuels and reducing the cycle time in the tank.
Replacing it with a modern Vertical Agitator with an aerodynamic profile significantly reduces the plant's electrical energy consumption.
The update of mechanical components eliminates frequent failures, ensuring continuous and safe operation throughout the harvest.
We install the new agitation system directly into your existing reservoir, avoiding the high costs of purchasing new large tanks.
Each industrial retrofit project is custom-sized for the rheology of your fluid and the specific geometry of your tank.
These specifications are not fixed for every piece of equipment: they represent possibilities available on some of the listed models. Contact our sales team to confirm the information and the ideal configuration for your operation.

AGIMIX side entry agitators offer high performance, combined with ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring operational efficiency and process reliability.
AGIMIX industrial agitators are developed with advanced engineering to maximize process efficiency, reducing energy consumption and ensuring high operational performance.
Agimix mechanical circulators are designed to optimize the sugar cooking process.
Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The retrofit of agitation systems is the modernization of mixing equipment installed in old vats and tanks. This process replaces obsolete motors, reducers and impellers with current technologies, increasing fermentation efficiency without the need to change the entire tank.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the complete agitation and mixing system. Our engineering designs and manufactures the equipment to be installed in the large reservoir that the client already has in its industrial plant.
The Lateral/Horizontal Industrial Agitator offers high performance combined with ease of installation and maintenance in large volume tanks. It creates an intense directional flow that prevents the decantation of solids, ensuring the homogeneity of the must with excellent cost-benefit.
The reduction occurs through the installation of a high efficiency impeller with an optimized hydrodynamic profile. These new profiles generate greater flow with less mechanical effort, allowing the use of smaller motors and reducing energy consumption by up to 30 percent.
Yes, the Mechanical Circulator was specifically developed to optimize dense processes, such as sugar cooking. It improves thermal exchange and fluid circulation, being a fundamental agitation equipment for mixed plants that produce sugar and ethanol.
The implementation period varies depending on the complexity of the project and the plant's off-harvest window. Our team carries out the technical dimensioning in advance, ensuring that the manufacturing and installation of the industrial agitator occurs quickly and scheduled so as not to affect production.
Yes, the modernization allows complete integration with the plant’s automation system. The installation of sensors and frequency inverters in the agitator drive enables precise rotation control, adjusting the mixing intensity according to the phase of the production process.
The parts in contact with the product are manufactured in 304 or 316L Stainless Steel, depending on the chemical aggressiveness of the fluid. This choice of materials guarantees high resistance to corrosion and abrasion, prolonging the useful life of the equipment even in harsh fermentation environments.
