Side-mount agitator for large tank mixing
Achieve efficient mixing in large tanks with reduced energy consumption by leveraging innovative design that enhances flow dynamics, ensuring thorough homogeneity with minimal power use.

Enhances Mixing and Homogenization Efficiency
The VISCO JET® STEP3 from VISCO JET Rührsysteme GmbH is an industrial tank mixer engineered for optimal energy efficiency and process reliability. Its innovative design features dynamic mixing movements facilitated by accelerated laminar flows and tapered cones, enabling thorough homogenization with significantly reduced power consumption—up to 30% lower without compromising performance. Ideal for biopharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and food and beverage industries, it addresses the challenge of consistent product quality across large batches, supporting the production of APIs, nutraceuticals, and plant-based formulations. Capable of high-capacity operation, the unit integrates seamlessly into continuous processes with simplified maintenance through an integrated CIP system. The STEP3’s construction offers extensive material options, including stainless steel and variants like Superduplex or Hastelloy, ensuring compatibility with diverse industrial applications. Compliance-ready, it adapts to stringent industry standards, backed by VISCO JET’s commitment to customer-specific engineering support and process optimization.
