Design and Manufacturing of Chemical Mixing Agitator

In this paper we have considered a project based on design, manufacturing and testing of a chemical mixing agitator. Agitation field find its application among a wide range of industries like food, cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical application. The aim of the project is to design a slow speed agitator for a chemical dosing system. Agitation refers to the induced motion of a “homogenous� material in a specified way. The machine consisting of two main group first one is power transmitting group and second one is agitating group. Power transmitting group consists of electric motor, bearing, gearbox and coupling while agitating group consists of impeller shaft, impeller blades and mixing chamber carrying chemicals. As the machine is made to work in a chemical environment specified by the company, during the testing it is found that the machine is able to work efficiently with the chemicals given by company. According to the requirement of dosing system plant and to reduce costing of design, this design of agitator is prepared; the performance of the system is checked by various testing methods. Thus it gives a better efficiency at a lesser cost, so it is advised to use this type of design for the agitator.
