A mixing agitator tank is a process vessel fitted with an internal agitator mechanism — typically a motor-driven impeller or paddle — designed to blend, homogenize, suspend, or react liquid-phase materials. Used across chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, water treatment, and cosmetics, these vessels are engineered to meet precise mixing intensity, residence time, and hygiene requirements.
We manufacture custom agitator tanks to client specifications in 304, 316L, SS2507, Hastelloy, and titanium, with full documentation and NDT reports available.

KM KM Mixing Agitator Tank consists of Driven Unit，Agitator Unit, Tank Body, Sealing Unit and Electric Control Part
1. Driven Unit
2. Agitator Unit
3. Tank Body
The tank body of a Mixing Tank is the core pressure-bearing and product-holding component, with a capacity range from 1L to 15,000L, covering laboratory, pilot-scale, and full industrial production requirements. The tank can be manufactured from a wide selection of materials , including standard SS304 and SS316L, as well as high-corrosion-resistant materials like duplex stainless steel SS2507 and titanium (Ti) for highly aggressive chemical environments.
In addition, the tank body can be fully customized according to customer site layout and process requirements, including vertical or horizontal configurations, jacket types, cone or flat bottoms, different manway designs, and various nozzle arrangements, ensuring optimal integration into specific production systems and process workflows.
4. Sealing Unit
The mixing tank mainly adopts the 204B mechanical seal. It provides stable sealing performance under normal operating conditions and is suitable for a broad range of industrial processes. Depending on the operating temperature and process requirements, the seal system can be optionally equipped with a water-cooled flushing design to enhance heat dissipation, reduce frictional heat at the sealing faces, and improve overall service life.
