AGITATORS
AGITATORS
 It is a dynamic mixing device
IN-LINE MIXING installed in a pipe
Characteristics:

• It is external to the production tank.

• The mixing is performed in this device, not in

the tank.

• It is applied to a solid-liquid and liquid-liquid

mixtures.

• For continuous or batch production.

IN-LINE MIXING
 Disolution or dispersion of solids in powder or
IN-LINE MIXING crystalline in liquids, emulsion or mixture of
liquids

Types: ALVAK, VISCOVAK, JETMIXVAK,

LIVAK.

Power (0,55 a 65 kW).

Addition of solids up to 15,000 kg/h and

mixing flow rate up to 90,000 l/h.

Industrial or sanitary (design according to

EHEDG y 3A).

IN-LINE MIXING

ADVANTAGES
• No lumps are formed.

• Minimum entry of air.

• Lower power rating than with a conventional agitator.

• Flexibility in batch volume: production from minimum level.

• One single mixer for production in several tanks.

• Loading of components from floor level.

• No solids adhering to walls of tanks.

• Total dissolution of hygroscopic solids.

• Dispersions of low granulometry.

• Emulsions with small particle size.

COMPLETE BATCH:
MIXING Our mastery of agitation technologies gives us a
global prospective in the conception and

INSTALLATIONS resolution of the mixing process.

The combined use of both technologies allows

us to offer complete mixing facilities to the
market, with the guarantee of:

• A reduction in manufacturing times.

• An optimization of the installed power.

• The excellence of the manufactured product.

COMPLETE CONTINUOUS:
MIXING The technology of in-line mixing, combined with
the mastering of liquid dosing and continuous

INSTALLATIONS control, guarantees the continuous production of

a completely standardized and homogeneous
final product.

• Mix of juices or concentrates. Mix of fats and

chocolate. Blend of biodiesel with diesel

• Manufacture of body-milks, shampoos ...

• Mix of juices or concentrates.

• Mix of fats and chocolate.

• Mix of biodiesel with diesel.

COMPLETE LAURILVAK:

MIXING • Dilution of sodium LESS from 70 to 27%.

• The concentrate can be introduced

INSTALLATIONS straight from a tanker truck.

• Production LESS 27% from 10 to 40 m³/h.

• Saving on transport and purchase price
