Application of Agitation

Industrial agitators are machines used in industries that process products in the chemical, food,
pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, in a view of :
1. mixing liquids together
2. promote the reactions of chemical substances
3. keeping homogeneous liquid bulk during storage
4. increase heat transfer (heating or cooling)
They are devices used to stir or mix fluids, liquids specifically.

Mainly 4 types of Agitators are used in Pharmaceutical reactors, they are

1. Anchor

ANCHOR AGITATOR
Anchors are close-clearance impellers that fit the contour of the vessel. Anchors obtain adequate
mixing under the laminar flow conditions encountered in high viscosity applications. There are many
applications that other agitators are integrated with the anchor. These impellers sweep the whole wall
surface of the vessel and agitate most of the fluid batch through physical contact.
Applications:
Ink, Paint, Sauces, Adhesive
 2. Turbine

TURBINE AGITATORS

The Turbine Agitators are idyllically utilized in reactors for efficient mixing, suspending and
blending applications. These agitators are sturdily developed from stainless steel by employing
sophisticated technologies to prudently make certain the competent dispersion of homogenous mass and
reactants. The agitator range is designed in dynamically balanced pattern to precisely balance the weight
even at high RPM which enhances the motor and agitators life. The agitators are highly suitable for the
applications requiring dispersion at high RPM. 

Applications
Grease, Toothpaste, Pharmaceutical products, Food items, Cosmetic items
 3. Propeller

PROPELLER AGITATORS

The Propeller Agitators are superlatively utilized in reactors for suspending and dissolving solids
within the liquids. These agitators are prudently designed by using optimum grade stainless steel and mild
steel to make it applicable with torque, mechanical factors and reactants viscosity. Our agitators are
integrated with double-wide bearings and drive to precisely isolate the operational vibration. The agitators
have a number of blades attached at precise angle to ensure accurate shaking and stirring during the
blending and mixing applications. 

Applications
Mineral water, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetic products, Food & beverage items
Application of Distillation

Many of the products we use every day are the result of distillation, from the gasoline that powers
our cars to the water we drink. Distillation is a physical process that uses heat to purify or separate mixtures
containing one or more liquids. As a mixture is heated, the liquid with the lowest boiling point will boil and
turn into vapor, leaving behind any solid material or other liquids. The vapor is captured and cooled until it
condenses, resulting in a purified version of the liquid.

Scientific Uses
One practical use of distillation is in the laboratory. While the results of this type of distillation may
not find their way directly into our homes, the process is used regularly in chemical and pharmaceutical
research, quality assurance testing for many consumer products and law enforcement forensics.
Water Purification
Water from natural sources contains a variety of minerals and other impurities, many of which can
be removed by distillation. Distilled water is commonly used in situations where the presence of minerals
might reduce the effectiveness of certain equipment, such as in steam irons or cigar humidors. Some
people drink distilled water because they like the taste or want to avoid the minerals found in tap water.
Parents will often use distilled water when preparing baby formula for their infants. Desalination plants also
use distillation to turn seawater into drinking water
Alcoholic Beverages
Distillation is used to produce a variety of alcoholic beverages, such as whiskey, rum and brandy.
When fruit and plant materials ferment, a dilute version of ethyl alcohol is produced. Distilling the fermented
material purifies and concentrates the ethanol. A variety of other components, such as water, esters and
other types of alcohol, are also collected during the distillation process, which accounts for the unique flavor
of each alcoholic spirit.
Petroleum Products
A number of products can be produced from crude oil. Because each of these products has a
unique boiling point, a process known as fractional distillation is used to refine oil into separate materials.
These include gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricating oil, fuel oil, paraffin wax and petrochemicals.
Perfume
One of the earliest uses of distilling was to make perfume, which began around 3500 B.C. The
aroma from various plants and herbs is contained in what are known as essential oils, which can be
extracted through distillation. However, many aromatic plants tend to decompose at high temperatures so
separation by normal distillation isn’t practical. In those instances, steam is passed through the plant
material to draw out the essential oils without burning the mixture. The steam is then captured and
condensed just as in normal distillation.
Food Flavorings
Steam distillation is also used to create natural food flavorings. The most common are citrus oils
and liquid extracts of various herbs and spices.

DRYING APPLICATION

DYRING OVEN

Drying applications are used to remove excess moisture or other volatiles from coatings and
various substrates. Reduction and control of moisture levels in solid materials through heated drying is a
crucial process in the manufacture of many materials. Drying is a complex phenomenon involving heat and
mass exchange. Drying ovens can be either Batch or Conveyor style. These ovens can be designed and
manufactured to meet your specific applications. Drying is used across multiple industries for a wide range
of applications. This can include paint drying, drying glass and plastics, ink, adhesives, and removing
excess water from filter material, to name a few.

FOOD
Foods are dried to inhibit microbial development and quality decay. However, the extent of drying
depends on product end-use. Cereals and oilseeds are dried after harvest to the moisture content that
allows microbial stability during storage. Vegetables are blanched before drying to avoid rapid darkening,
and drying is not only carried out to inhibit microbial growth, but also to avoid browning during storage.
Concerning dried fruits, the reduction of moisture acts in combination with its acid and sugar contents to
provide protection against microbial growth. Products such as milk powder must be dried to very low
moisture contents in order to ensure flowability and avoid caking. This moisture is lower than that required
to ensure inhibition to microbial development. Other products as crackers are dried beyond the microbial
growth threshold to confer a crispy texture, which is liked by consumers.
Non-food products
Among non-food products, some of those that require considerable drying are wood (as part of
timber processing), paper, flax, and washing powder. The first two, owing to their organic origins, may
develop mold if insufficiently dried. Another benefit of drying is a reduction in volume and weight.
Sludges and fecal materials from sanitation processes
In the area of sanitation, drying of sewage sludge from sewage treatment plants, fecal
sludge or feces collected in urine-diverting dry toilets (UDDT) is a common method to achieve pathogen kill,
as pathogens can only tolerate a certain dryness level. In addition, drying is required as a process step if
the excreta based materials are meant to be incinerated
