Surface Agitation 101: A Fish Keeper's Guide to Oxygenation

Oxygenation: Fish, like us land-dwellers, need oxygen to survive. Surface agitation helps oxygen from the air to dissolve into the water, providing our fishy friends with the oxygen they need. Gas exchange: Along with absorbing oxygen, surface agitation allows the release of carbon dioxide, which is produced by fish as a waste product.

Choosing The Right Tank: Agitation | Zwirner Equipment

  1. High viscosity mixing:Products of higher viscosity will require a heavier and slower agitator. Often times with higher viscosity products, it will require a sweeping or scraping type agitation.
  2. Scraping:Agitator makes contact with the sides and bottom of the tank to scrap the product off the walls. This is great for stickier products such as peanut butter. Scraping will assist a heavy pro...

Review Heat Transfer of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Agitated Tanks

Shamloo and Edwards [ 32] studied the heat transfer in the agitation of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids with high viscosities in a tank with a diameter of 0.15 m and another tank of 0.40 m. The mechanical impeller chosen was the helical type, and the heating jacket was the spiral type.

Agitation Tank for Chemical Reagent

Acid Bath Agitation Methods

Re: Acid Bath Agitation Methods On a bigger tank such as 30 Gallons, I'm not sure if simply air agitation would cut it. I use a Little Giant pump, great, acid resistant, you can feel the flow and watch your parts dance. Also, if your upgrading to a 30 gallon tank, I'm assuming your doing bigger pieces.

Effect of Agitator's Types on the Hydrodynamic Flow in an Agitated Tank

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of agitator's types on the turbulent flows in stirred tanks without and with baffles. The hydrodynamics behavior induced by four different agitator's types: a Rushton turbine (RT), a circular blade turbine (CBT), a diverging triangular blade turbine (DTBT) and converging triangular blade turbine (CTBT) are …

Boosting the Power of Immersion Degreasing | Products Finishing

In an aqueous degreasing tank, a static boundary layer with soil-saturated surfactants forms next to the part surface to be cleaned. This layer erects a barrier between the part surface and most of the cleaning agent, reducing degreasing potential. Creating agitation in the tank disrupts this layer and allows fresh solution to contact the part ...
