KIESEL Agitators

KIESEL Agitators are handy and mobile units for mixing liquids of watery viscosity in wine- and champagne-, grape-juice cellars, distilleries as well as in the whole beverage industry.

KIESEL Agitators represent a new generation of universal units that are capable of meeting all requirements of the modern cellar economy. The available three sizes may be used for tanks having a capacity ranging from approx. 200 to 80.000 liters.

The special features of these units are the strong engine power, the extremely strong bearings on which the agitator shaft is running, and the robust construction. Useless weight has been avoided to facilitate handling.
 

Materials and constructive design

For KIESEL Agitators special hollow-shaft motors have been engineered to enable an easy interchangeability.

Thanks to the hollow-shaft it is possible to retract the agitator shaft so far that the agitator can be screwed on the closed shutoff device (valve, ball cock, tank slide). Then the shutoff device is opened and the agitator shaft is introduced into the tank. This procedure does not cause any loss by leakage or pressure drop.

To reduce weight the hollow-shaft motors are made of aluminium die cast metal, the hollow shaft is made of extremely sturdy construction to make sure a vibration-free operation occurs. All motors and switches provided for 380 V, 50 cycles, comply with the German VDE Regulations. The motor rests on a stable base to permit a safe storage of the units without damaging the shafts.
 

KIESEL Agitators can be used on all standing, lying and saddled storage and pressure tanks made of steel, synthetic resin, highgrade steel and aluminium. The easiest way of introduce the agitators is to put it through the taphole flap that is kept away from the agitator shaft by means of a shock tube.

KIESEL Agitators can be attached to any kind of mounted shutoff devices for the clear outflow provided they have a free passage. By retracting the agitator shaft inside the thread connection, the agitator can be screwed on the closed valve (inclined-seat valve, tank slide, ball cock). After the valve is opened, the agitator shaft is put through and locked by means of a spring safety lock of the motor. Now the agitation process may begin.

Flanged agitators

We manufacture flanged agitators for special agitator tanks with mounted rigid agitator shaft. The size of the units depends on the drives ranging from 2,2 to 11 kW. The units can be used for tanks with a capacity of up to 100.000 liters.

With the help of a special stable mount, the RG 0 and RG 01 can be attached to an open rack and vat. The mount makes adjustability of the equipment in higher and lower angles possible.

In order to ease application and simple transport of the heavier mixer RG 03, an easily driven wagon has been constructed. The mixer can be fixed in the height of the clear out-flow. Even a safe mixer element is possible with the wagon.

The application of the mixer on wooden kegs is put on with the help of a cone piece, which is chocked in a bung hole.

Special mixers

We manufacture special mixers for destilleries, our No. RG 17, RG 18, RG 20. Please ask for these special executions.
