AGITATORS ...for all your mixing requirements.bid-on-equipment.com
mkAll Hamilton Kettles can
',be converted to mix
cookers simply by
adding a suitable
agitator assembly and
companion support
bridge.
Single Motion Agitators
Single motion agitation is used effectively
when the processed product is a light
viscosity liquid which requires a simple
stirring motion to decrease cooking time and
keep materials in suspension. Three basic
designs of single motion agitators are offered
as shown and described on page 2.
Nylon scrapers, standard on all three
agitator styles, and scrapers, made of other
materials which are offered as options, are
illustrated and detailed on page 4.
Hamilton Kettles offers three distinct styles of
labor-saving standard agitators with final
selection based on the specific job to be done.
You can choose single or double motion agitators
as well as patented triple action agitators — with
an almost unlimited combination of capabilities
— for mixing, blending, beating, stirring,
dissolving and improving heat transfer.
Double Motion Agitators
Double motion agitation gives thorough
counter-rotating mixing, faster processing
on all types of materials, from light to heavier,
more viscous products. Hamilton's sanitary,
heavy-duty, double motion agitator consists
of a stainless steel anchor-type bar frame
with stainless steel horizontal blades welded
to each side of the frame, and a heavy shaft to
which a second set of blades is welded. The
anchor frame and shaft rotate in opposite
directions thereby setting up counter-
currents for more thorough mixing. The
entire circulated mass is heated/cooled at an
even and uniform rate throughout. (See
page 2 .) Nylon scrapers clean the entire
heated surface and are easily removed.
(See page 4.) Other style scrapers are also
available.
Twin Shaft Agitators
The Hamilton twin-shaft agitator design,
which incorporates two separate drive
motors, is one example of a specialized or
custom design. On this unit one motor
powers the center anchor sweep with its
sanitary nylon scrapers to clean the heated
portion of the kettle. The second motor drives
the single secondary bar blade agitator in the
opposite direction. A thermometer, with its
guarded sensor protruding into the product
area, is provided on the other side of the
center shaft (Opposite to secondary agitator)
to closely control product temperature. This
unique agitator is ideally-suited for those
products which require a scrape surface
agitator and only slight mixing action.
Separately driven agitators can provide
faster, more efficient blending of many
products. Variable speed drive motors
offered in a wide range of speeds, enclo-
sures, etc.

Triple Action Agitators
Triple action agitation provides three
cross-mixing currents for positive
mixing, blending, heating, cooling, etc.
It's the most efficient method ever devised
for higher-speed mix cooking of a variety of
products ranging from heavy slurry to light
creams. Nothing escapes the three
intersecting cross-mixing currents of this
unique agitator. The three agitating actions
work closely together: the primary agitator
scrapers remove product continuously from
the heated portion of the kettle wall and
deflect it into the path of the two higher-
speed, secondary, counter-rotating agitators
which are turning at three times the speed of
the primary agitator. The result: a more
thoroughly-uniform, intimately blended
product achieved in significantly less time.
Secondary agitators are selected to suit
specific processing requirements. Each pair
of secondary agitators provides a special
mixing action or performs another definite
processing function as described in detail on
page 3. They are interchangeable and can
be quickly changed to supply the desired
intensity of movement. Thus, by changing the
secondary agitators, the triple action
Hamilton agitator has the complete flexibility
to suit the total spectrum of mixing demands,
handling products with viscosities varying
from light through medium to heavy. With but
one drive, and variety of agitators, versatility
is almost unlimited. However, for stirring
only, one or both secondary agitators can be
removed in seconds.
All three agitator shafts can be removed or
interchanged readily and rapidly by means of
Hamilton's easy-to-reach. positive and
totally-sanitary quick-disconnect couplings,
located above the kettle brim out of the
product zone.

Options and accessories
Kettle Scrapers — All Agitators —
Standard and Optional
Sanitary-design finger-type kettle scrapers,
made of nylon as standard, are mounted on
the main agitator (anchor frame) to
continually "scrape" the entire heated inside
surface of the kettle and prevent scorching or
a build-up of insulating product film on the
wall. Scraper angle is precisely-designed to
provide maxim urn cleaning effect, deflecting
product into the path of subsequent agitation
(except on single motion design). Scrapers
are also offered in two additional optional
materials: Nickel alloy or stainless steel
backed, TEFLON-tipped, either of which may
be spring-loaded. All scrapers are quickly
removed for cleaning.

All agitators are of completely sanitary
design for ease of cleaning and maximum
product purity. Construction of parts in
contact with the product (except scrapers) is
all Type #304 or #316 stainless steel. All welds
and bar stock are ground smooth and
polished to a satin finish.
Drive units are totally-enclosed, A.G.,

Hydraulic Lift — Optional
This unique device tilts agitator smoothly and
quickly out of standard mix cookers for easy
cleaning. Also useful for Type CW tilting-
pouring kettles to give control of content
when pouring, and often used on larger
tilting-pouring kettles in place of worm gear
and handwheel. Lift operates on a minimum
of 45 psi water pressure. Unit is complete with
3-way control valve and interconnecting
piping between cylinder and control valve.
Flexibility of operation is assured because
agitator may be stopped and held at any
position, This hydraulic lift is quickly adapted
to any Hamilton mix cooker. An air lift is also
available.

motors are also an available option for each
style agitator. Complete systems of hydraulic
motors and power-packs can be supplied to
meet specific user requirements.
Both motor and drive unit are supported
by a hinged stainless steel, channel-type
support bridge of sanitary design. Hydraulic
lift units are optionally available to tilt agitator
out of kettles, and/or to tilt tilting-pouring
design kettles.
Portable Agitator Bracket — Optional
A stainless steel bracket, welded to the kettle
allows mounting of clamp-type portable
agitators. This device keeps hard-to-clean
clamp assembly out of the product zone and
prevents kettle wall damage which could be
caused by clamps.
