Submersible mixers. Application.
Manufacturers of submersible pumps extended their products by applying a propeller to their motors to achieve submersible agitators.
They have a very clear and adequate application in the homogenization of rafts. By generating horizontal flows it is possible to carry out more or less wide sweeps with a simple installation.
They are currently being overused in water treatment plants subjecting them to excessive conditions of corrosion and abrasion.

They have a very clear and adequate application in the homogenization of pools. By generating horizontal flows, it is possible to carry out more or less extensive sweeps with a simple installation.
They are currently being used in excess in water treatment plants, subjecting them to excessive conditions of corrosion and abrasion.
It must be taken into account that corrosion and/or abrasion act on the casing and the closure that isolates the internal electrical parts, destroying a large part of the machine.
In these conditions the superiority of the top or side entry agitator with the motor out of the fluid is remarkable. Only the shaft and the propeller are subjected to these conditions, with adequate materials, make its life much longer and its maintenance significantly reduced.
Every machine has its conditions and applications and "not everything goes for everything". An adequate selection of materials and machines makes the life and performance of the plant suitable and for the designed purpose.
