Geared Tank Agitators (Low Speed)
Efficiency & Torque for Process Tanks
High speed isn't always the answer. For viscosity, flocculation, or gentle blending, you need torque.
G&G Geared Agitators reduce motor speed (typically to 20-300 RPM) to generate a massive pumping flow
capable of moving the entire tank volume without shearing the product. The standard solution for tanks up to 50 m³.
⚙️ Robust Gearboxes
We use high-efficiency Helical or Worm gear units from top-tier brands (Sew Eurodrive, Nord, Motovario).
- Service Factor: Selected >1.5 to guarantee long life even under shock loads.
- Lubrication: Food-grade oil available for sanitary applications.
🌀 Axial Flow Impellers
Don't waste energy swirling water. Our propellers (Gamma / Delta profiles) push liquid toward the bottom, creating a vertical loop.
- Result: Complete bottom sweeping and zero dead zones.
- Efficiency: 30% less power consumption compared to old-fashioned flat blades.
💡 Engineering Tip: Do I need Baffles?
In cylindrical tanks, a centered agitator often creates a vortex (the liquid spins but doesn't mix). Installing 3 or 4 baffles on the tank wall breaks this rotation, converting it into vertical mixing. If you can't install baffles, ask us for an Off-Centered Installation study.
Typical Applications
💧 Water Treatment
Flocculation Tanks: Gentle stirring to grow the floc without breaking it.
Neutralization: Mixing acid/base for pH control.
⚗️ Chemical Process
Maturation: Polyelectrolyte preparation tanks.
Suspension: Keeping lime milk (10-15%) in suspension.
🏭 General Industry
Heat Exchange: Moving fluid across jacketed tanks to cool/heat quickly.
