Agitator for horizontal storage tanks

Efficiently blend various viscosities in horizontal tanks, ensuring optimized flow patterns and reduced energy consumption, tailored for your unique process requirements.

Agitates and Blends Various Viscosity Materials

The VISCO JET VJ510 from VISCO JET Rührsysteme GmbH is a horizontal tank agitator designed for efficiently mixing low to high-viscosity products across diverse industries such as chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals. This equipment distinguishes itself with a reinforced horizontal flow setup tailored for optimal agitation, addressing both fixed and mobile tank applications, including those on trucks and trains. It operates with a slow-speed stirring mechanism that significantly reduces energy consumption, enhancing sustainability and operational efficiency. The VJ510 can be adapted for ATEX Zone 0 applications, ensuring safety in explosive environments.

Engineered with flexibility, it allows customization of motor power, stirring elements, and material options, including stainless steel variations like 1.4301 and 1.4404, to meet specific production requirements and container designs. This agitator supports rigorous process demands with its range of sealing solutions—from simple radial shaft seals to double-acting mechanical seals for elevated product and operational safety.

The VJ510, compatible with all VISCO JET stirring implements, ensures seamless integration into existing systems, backed by compliance with machinery safety and electromagnetic compatibility directives. Its compact design facilitates straightforward installation and commissioning, while the easy-cleaning surfaces—suitable for CIP setups—guarantee minimal maintenance efforts, making it a reliable solution for a host of industrial applications.
