Tank Agitators alfa laval logo png transparent

inTank is proud to supply Alfa Laval’s Tank Agitator range. Engineered for industrial and IBC applications, these Agitators offer unparalleled mixing efficiency with gentle, controlled pumping effect to protect product integrity while significantly reducing energy consumption. Available in top-mounted (ALTB & ALT), bottom-mounted (ALB), and side-mounted (ALS) configurations, the Alfa Laval Agitator range accommodates a wide spread of tank sizes and mixing requirements. Whether you’re blending, suspending solids, or ensuring uniform temperature distribution, these Agitators deliver reliable performance while lowering operational costs.

Four Alfa Laval Tank Agitator Configurations

Top-mounted Alfa Laval agitator with bottom steady bearing for enhanced shaft stability. The most economical solution for larger agitators whilst maintaining easy top access – the sanitary bottom support allows effective CIP cleaning.

Top-mounted Alfa Laval agitator with free-hanging design, ideal for tanks where full top access is available and bottom entry or penetrations must be avoided. Perfect for straightforward installations without internal obstructions.

Bottom-mounted Alfa Laval agitator that keeps the tank top completely clear for unrestricted manway access, cleaning, and maintenance. Essential when top-mounted units would interfere with other equipment or operations.

Side-mounted Alfa Laval agitator offering the ultimate flexibility when both top and bottom tank access must remain unobstructed. Ideal for tanks with limited headroom or where pipework prevents top mounting.

A portable Agitator for mixing, dissolving, and blending in IBC containers. Ideal for food, chemicals, and industrial applications, with variable speed and stainless steel construction.

EnSaLine Configurations

Bottom-mounted Alfa Laval Agitator built on an all-new platform, with all wear parts in a single cartridge, reducing maintenance to under 30 minutes – no tank entry needed. Essential when top-mounted units are not feasible.

Side-mounted Alfa Laval Agitator built on an all-new platform. All wear parts in a single replaceable cartridge, reducing maintenance to under 30 minutes – no tank entry needed. Ideal for tanks where top or bottom mounting are not possible.

The Benefits of Our Tank Agitators

Sustainably Focused

At the heart of the Alfa Laval EnSaFoil Agitator lies the innovative EnSaFoil propeller design. This unique design maximises pumping effect and flow rates while minimising power consumption, resulting in energy savings of up to 80% compared to standard agitators. With energy costs becoming increasingly important, Alfa Laval Agitators helps you reduce your environmental impact and lower your operating costs.

Modular Design

The Alfa Laval Agitator range boasts a modular design that allows for easy customisation to meet the specific requirements of each task. Whether you need to mix pressurised or non-pressurised tanks, vessels of varying shapes, sizes, and orientations, or achieve the highest sanitary standards, including aseptic environments, the Alfa Laval Agitator can be configured to match.

Wide Range of Applications

The Alfa Laval Agitator range is incredibly versatile, capable of handling a wide range of process duties. It is the perfect solution for maintaining homogeneity, thoroughly mixing powders and liquids, dissolving ingredients, keeping particulates in suspension, and speeding heat transition.

The Alfa Laval Agitator range can also support other impeller types beyond its standard EnSaFoils. These other varieties include EnSaFerm impellers, specifically designed for assisting in fermentation applications.

With its modular design, energy efficiency, unwavering commitment to hygiene, and comprehensive portfolio, the Alfa Laval Agitator range sets the benchmark for versatility, performance, and reliability.

Reduced Maintenance Costs and Downtime

Our commitment to efficiency extends beyond energy savings. The Alfa Laval EnSaFoil Agitator is designed to minimise downtime and maintenance costs. Long mechanical seal life, a sealed life lubricated bearing carrier, and a detachable shaft that allows for mechanical seal replacement from outside the tank are just a few of the features that contribute to reduced maintenance needs and increased uptime.

Selection of Sealing Options

The Alfa Laval EnSaFoil Agitator range offers a wide selection of sealing options to accommodate your specific tank type and application requirements. From radial seals for cost-effective top mounting on atmospheric vessels to dry running mechanical seals for pressure vessels and double mechanical seals for pressure vessels or sterile barrier applications, Alfa Laval have the right sealing solution for your needs.

Comply With European & American Hygiene Standards

The Alfa Laval EnSaFoil Agitator range is designed and manufactured to meet the highest quality and compliance standards. Our Agitators comply with European and American Hygienic Standards (EHEDG, USDA, FDA and 3A), have ATEX (Zone 1 internal and external) certification, and come with Material Certificates for added assurance.

Tank Agitators FAQs

Tank Agitators are designed to mix, blend, and maintain the homogeneity of liquids in tanks, commonly used in industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

Alfa Laval Agitators, such as the EnSaFoil range, can reduce energy consumption by up to 80% due to their innovative design, maximising flow rates while minimising power use.

Tank Agitators come in top-mounted, bottom-mounted, and side-mounted configurations to accommodate different tank designs and processing needs.

Tank Agitators are versatile and can be used for a variety of processes, including dairy fermentation, powder mixing, and heat transfer in sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment.

Alfa Laval Tank Agitators are designed for minimal maintenance with features like a long mechanical seal life, life-lubricated bearings, and detachable shafts for easy seal replacement from outside the tank. These features help reduce downtime and overall maintenance costs.

Agitators function by utilising an electric motor to transmit energy, either directly or through a gearbox, to the agitator shaft. As the shaft rotates, it drives the agitator’s specially designed energy-efficient impellers. These impellers generate a powerful axial pumping action that produces high flow rates with minimal shear. This efficient movement ensures thorough mixing and blending of the entire tank’s contents.

Agitators are a sub-category of tank mixers, a group that also includes technologies such as Rotary Jet Mixers and Magnetic Mixers.
