Impellers
Impellers
The Agitation Resources Impeller Series represents the foundation of efficient and reliable mixing performance. With decades of engineering refinement, these impellers are designed to optimize flow patterns, minimize energy use, and handle any process requirement—from light blending to heavy viscous agitation.
Each impeller design offers distinct advantages for specific mixing objectives such as blending, suspension, dispersion, or gas–liquid contact. Impellers can be manufactured in 304/316 stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, titanium, or coated materials for chemical compatibility and long service life.
Explore the impeller types below to find the configuration that best suits your process.
Impeller Types
Pitched-Blade Turbines
Ideal for suspension, blending, and heat transfer in tanks. Available in 30° or 45° pitch for balanced flow and efficient turnover.
Radial Turbines
High-shear impellers designed for gas dispersion and emulsification at elevated speeds. Maintain solids in suspension at lower RPMs.
Sweep & Gate
For high-viscosity or non-Newtonian fluids. Provides thorough wall-to-wall agitation and minimal buildup on vessel sides.
Dispersers
High-efficiency disc impellers for rapid solids or gas dispersion. Perfect for paints, coatings, and emulsions.
Marine Props
Efficient axial flow for low-viscosity fluids and continuous circulation. Compact design for small tanks or portable mixers.
Compact / Foldaway
Foldable blades for small openings and drums. Automatically deploy to full diameter at operating speed for efficient top-to-bottom mixing.
