Gate agitator

verticalbatchfor liquids

Overview
Our Gate Stirrer is engineered for the slow, controlled stirring of medium to high viscosity formulations, making it ideal for products such as creams, pastes, gels, thick sauces and similar semi-solid materials. Designed to deliver thorough and uniform mixing without introducing excessive shear, it preserves product texture, integrity and consistency.

Key Features

• Designed for slow, low shear stirring
• Ideal for medium to high viscosity products (10,000–100,000 cP)
• Close tolerance construction matched to vessel shape
• Consistent mixing coverage across the vessel
• Typical operating speeds: 50-100 rpm
• Product contact components in 316 stainless-steel (and PTFE with scrapers)
• 0.4 μm Ra finish, with ground welds for hygiene and ease of cleaning

Materials & Finish

• Contact surfaces manufactured from 316L stainless steel
• Optional PTFE components available where wall scrapers are specified
• All product contact parts fully polished to 0.4 μm Ra
• Carefully ground welds to support hygienic cleaning and regulatory requirements

Match the Shape of Your Mixing Vessel
Each stirrer is manufactured with close tolerances to precisely match the shape of your mixing vessel, ensuring full mixing coverage and efficient movement of viscous materials. The low speed system (typically 50–100 rpm) provides effective agitation for viscosities between 10,000–100,000 cP.

Customisation Options

• Pivoted PTFE wall scrapers to clean vessel walls and improve heat transfer
• Height adjustable central mixing blades
• Motor options tailored to application requirements
• Integration with Pharma Hygiene Products mixing vessel systems

Typical Applications

• Cosmetic creams and lotions
• Food pastes and thick sauces
• Pharmaceutical semi-solid formulations and gels
• Any process requiring low-shear, uniform mixing of medium to high viscosity materials

Service & Maintenance
Crevice-free internal surfaces and high-quality surface finishing support CIP, SIP and manual cleaning processes, facilitating hygienic operation and straightforward maintenance.
