Multi-Axial (Triple Shaft) Agitators

Multi-Axial Agitator (Triple Shaft Agitator) for Efficient High-Viscosity Mixing

At Verito, we are proud to offer our cutting-edge Multi-Axial Agitator (Triple Shaft Agitator), designed for versatile, high-performance mixing in a wide range of industrial applications. This advanced agitator system combines the functionalities of three individual shafts, providing superior mixing efficiency for highly viscous, complex, and diverse materials. It is ideal for industries such as chemicals, adhesives, sealants, coatings, and inks, where precise, consistent mixing is critical.

 

 

 

Key Features and Benefits

 

Triple Shaft Design

  • High Shear Disperser :The primary shaft is equipped with a high-speed disperser designed to break down and disperse solids into liquids rapidly, ensuring fine particle distribution. It is particularly effective for handling viscous materials.
  • Anchor Agitator :The second shaft is a low-speed anchor agitator designed to move the entire batch around the vessel, maintaining a uniform mixture by scraping the tank walls and minimizing dead zones.
  • Hydrofoil/Turbine Agitator :The third shaft complements the disperser and anchor by providing high-efficiency axial and radial flow. The hydrofoil or turbine agitator is ideal for providing strong turbulence and shear, ensuring efficient mixing even for very viscous products.

Precision Mixing Control

  • Variable Speed Control :Each shaft is equipped with independent speed control, allowing operators to fine-tune the agitation process based on material properties. This results in better shear and mixing action, reducing cycle times and improving product quality.
  • Optimized Shear Rates :By controlling the speed and configuration of the high shear disperser, it is possible to achieve the desired level of particle size reduction and emulsification for a wide range of applications.

Energy Efficiency

  • Power Optimization :Despite the triple shaft mechanism, the agitator is designed for energy efficiency. By optimizing the speed and torque distribution across the three shafts, the agitator consumes less power compared to single-shaft systems when handling high-viscosity materials.
  • Reduced Batch Processing Time :The combination of different shafts and targeted agitation results in quicker batch turnover, improving operational efficiency and lowering energy costs over time.

Adaptability for High Viscosity Materials

  • Dual Mixing Zones :The combination of high shear and low-speed agitation ensures that both the surface and bottom layers of high-viscosity products are evenly mixed. This prevents issues such as incomplete mixing or overheating in the case of heat-sensitive materials.
  • Vacuum and Temperature Control :The system can be configured with vacuum functionality to remove entrapped air and voids, which is crucial for producing high-quality adhesives and sealants. Additionally, temperature control jackets ensure the product stays within optimal temperature ranges during the mixing process.

Efficient Design for Various Tank Sizes

  • Customizable Vessel Sizes :Available for tanks of various volumes, from small to large batches, the multi-axial agitator can be tailored to suit different production needs.
  • Stainless Steel Build :Our agitators are constructed with high-quality stainless steel (SS316/SS304), ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of cleaning. This is especially important for industries with stringent hygiene standards, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

 

Applications

 

Chemical Processing

  • Ideal for mixing complex formulations such as resins, polymers, and emulsions. The triple shaft agitator ensures consistent blending even with challenging materials like epoxies, urethanes, and acrylics.

Adhesives and Sealants

  • When dealing with high-viscosity adhesives, the triple shaft design delivers excellent performance by maintaining consistency and homogeneity, even with the most demanding applications.

Food & Beverage

  • For applications such as sauces, syrups, and high-viscosity liquids, the agitator ensures even texture and prevents any burn-on issues during the mixing process.

Coatings and Paints

  • The disperser ensures uniform particle distribution while the low-speed anchor agitator prevents clumping or stratification of pigments and additives, essential for the production of premium coatings.

Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals

  • The agitator meets the rigorous standards of hygiene and precision required in the manufacturing of creams, ointments, gels, and lotions, where product consistency and purity are critical.

CFD in Mixing Technology
What is CFD ?

 

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) represents an approved approach within the realm of fluid mechanics. Its widespread application is evident in industries such as automotive, aircraft, process, and mixing.
  • The primary objective of CFD is to address fluid flow-related inquiries by leveraging numerical techniques. The governing equations typically revolve around principles like Navier-Stokes, Euler, or potential-based equations.

 

Flow Simulation at Verito

 

  • Verito leverages cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology, alongside laboratory experiments and field trials, to design, scale-up, enhance, or modernize agitators and mixing systems.
  • Verito’s engineers utilize CFD technology to gain an in-depth understanding of velocity distribution, flow patterns, areas with low velocity (referred to as dead zones, as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 & 3), as well as regions with both low and high shear rates within various mixing system configurations.
  • This enables the testing of multiple system setups and tank agitator designs to achieve optimal performance. Additionally, CFD technology aids Verito in fine-tuning impeller blade designs to strike a balance between power requirements and pumping capacity.
