Agitator and Mixers

Agitators and mixers are used to stir liquids in a tank, this helps to combine chemicals and reagents to form one consistent product. A good example would be the agitators in a CIP/CIL circuits, without the agitation air, carbon, cyanide, and gold slurry would not be able to react together properly and your gold yield would be down.

They come in many sizes, some agitators are sold on their own others fixed into tanks

One thing to look out for is the condition of the motor and gearbox, if you get the opportunity check the planetary, oil for signs of metal. Shafts can have wear especially where the bearings seat, and of course check the paddles for wear and any coatings if going to be used in chemical environments
