GW Original Agitator/Blender

Continuous Innovation in Product Protection & Production Solutions Since 1858!

Designed for efficient flour bleaching or enrichment addition in flour mills or blending facilities, the Agitator/Blender is built for long-lasting, dependable service. It includes a housing constructed of rot-resistant PVC with an interior that is smooth and free of seams and crevices. The unit is supported on a sanitary base frame. The rotors are machined and balanced for vibration free operation and are available fabricated with either the traditional kiln dried wood construction or sanitary carbon steel construction with food grade finish. Three different capacity sizes, built in four different arrangements, allow the machine to be tailored to your specific requirements.

 
  • Polyvinylchloride housing construction provides durability against adverse effects of chlorine or other gasses.
  • Smooth interior without seams or crevices improves product flow while eliminating accumulation points.
  • Flexible size and rotor construction to maximize effectiveness for your production requirements.
  • Perfectly balanced rotor to increase operational longevity.
  • Dust-tight tongue and groove joints and Teflon packing seals ensure precise and secure sealing to prevent leakage of gasses or materials.
  • Drop bottom enables easy disassembly and thorough, rapid cleaning
  • Excellent mixing and conveying action for improved quality control.
 

Single-pass arrangements are recommended when treatment rates do not exceed 1 oz of chlorine per cwt (0.6 g/kg). Double-pass arrangements are recommended for rates above 2 oz of chlorine per cwt (1.2 g/kg). Rates between 1 and 2 oz of chlorine per cwt should be reviewed with Great Western prior to final equipment selection. The maximum conveying rate of each housing assembly is 200 cwt per hour.
