Agitated Pressure Vessels & Mixing Tanks

The drive. Electric agitators (STEL and CTEL) use an electric motor with a controller, which gives fine, repeatable speed control. Pneumatic agitators (STAG) use an air motor driven from your compressed-air supply, with a throttle to set the speed and a filter regulator available for the air line. Both turn a stainless steel shaft and propeller inside the pressurised vessel.

Because many fluids do not stay uniform on their own. Blended components can separate or settle while a vessel sits under pressure between shots, so the material at the outlet slowly drifts from its specification. Agitating during dispensing keeps the fluid homogeneous and every shot consistent.

Mixing gently combines components into a uniform distribution, usually by slow stirring that avoids excessive shear — the right choice for delicate materials. Agitation uses impellers or blades to create turbulence and shear, which speeds up dispersion, heat transfer or reactions and breaks up clumps. The choice depends on the fluid's viscosity, its sensitivity to shear and how quickly it needs to be homogeneous.

Yes. The CTEL Series combines a clear acrylic or toughened glass cylinder with an electric agitator, in 2, 5 and 10 litre sizes rated to 4 bar, so you can watch the fluid being mixed while it is pressurised and dispensed.
