The Walker range of process vessels draws from a wide portfolio of agitator designs to match the specific application needs.  Rely on Walker engineers to apply their experience in mixing tank design to your specific process need.

SQUIRRELCAGE AGITATOR
Designed to quickly disperse & dissolve powders into solution within the mixing tank using a high speed (270 RPM) multi blade impeller.

OFFSET TURBINE AGITATOR
Designed to ensure constant mixing throughout the tank.  Three or four bladed impellers are strategically positioned to achieve required mixing. 

BOTTOM SWEEP AGITATOR
Designed to provide a thorough mixing of the product along with ensuring a vertical motion within the mixing tank. The low speed bottom sweep provides proper heat transfer to tank walls.

SIDE & BOTTOM SWEEP AGITATOR
This low speed agitator is good for shear sensitive products. Bottom & side blades enhance rapid heat transfer reducing local burn-on or freeze-up of product on tank walls.

SCRAPER BLADE AGITATION
Designed to cook and/or cool in one batch operation with gentle agitation for fragile products. Scraper blades scour tank walls ensuring heat transfer & preventing adhesion of the product. Standard scraper material is Nylon, suitable for temperatures up to 200° F. Optional Ryton blades are available for temperatures above 200° F.

OFFSET TURBINE WITH SCRAPER BLADE AGITATION
This is a typical cooker kettle concept.  To ensure a proper flow pattern at the right vertical level in the tank, axial flow turbine impellers can be located at single or multiple heights. Scraper blades scour tank walls ensuring heat transfer & prevent adhesion of the product.  Standard scraper material is Nylon, suitable for temperatures up to 200° F. Optional Ryton blades are available for temperatures above 200° F.

FINGER BAFFLE WITH SCRAPER AGITATOR
Center rotating finger blades ensure gentle agitation with counter fixed finger baffles. Scraper blades scour tank walls ensuring heat transfer & preventing adhesion of the product. Standard scraper material is Nylon, suitable for temperatures up to 200° F. Optional Ryton blades are available for temperatures above 200° F.

COUNTER ROTATING AGITATOR WITH SCRAPER BLADE AGITATOR
Counter rotating fingers for more aggressive agitation of product with the benefit of counter scraper blades to scour tank walls ensuring heat transfer & preventing adhesion of the product. Standard scraper material is Nylon, suitable for temperatures up to 200° F. Optional Ryton blades are available for temperatures above 200° F.
