Agitators
If you’re looking to buy agitators, Patvin Engineering is your ideal destination for top notch Graco Agitators.
If the material is not properly mixed, it will never reach optimal performance conditions despite the highest quality pumping, proportioning, and spray guns. This Graco Agitator Speed Controller ensures that your mixing process can be controlled to eliminate paint shear, foaming, and unnecessary compressed air consumption.
There are various types of agitators we offer such as drum and mix, clamp mounted, expanding blade, and twis work agitator. Let’s look into their specifications:
Drum and Mix Tank
- Agitators mount directly to mix tank or drum covers
- Dual propeller ensures efficient and thorough mixing
- Easy adjustment knob for fine tuning agitator speed to ideal mixing parameters
Clamp Mounted Agitators
- Clamp mounts agitator directly to drum
- Adjustable shaft angle to reduce mixing vortex and air entrapment
- Dual propeller ensures efficient and thorough mixing
- Easy adjustment knob for fine tuning agitator speed to ideal mixing parameters
Expanding Blade Agitators
- Corrosion resistant materials
- Threads into 1.5” or 2” drum bung
- Includes angled adapter reduces vortexing and allows for off center mounting
- Customize configuration by adjusting blade height or by adding additional blade assemblies
- Collapsible blades fit through drum bung and expand when spinning for efficient mixing
Twistork® Agitators
- Helix blade effectively mixes higher viscosity materials
- Mounts directly to 2 inch drum bung
