Agitator pumps are a type of centrifugal pump which is designed to move liquids that contain solid particles or slurry. They are widely used in a variety of industries, from food and beverage production to chemical and petrochemical operations.

Agitator pumps are so named because they have an internal agitator which helps to break up the solids and evenly disperse them in the liquid. This helps to ensure an efficient and reliable flow of the material when it is being pumped. The agitator also helps to reduce the wear and tear on the pump, which increases its life and reduces the need for maintenance.

You can find them in a variety of sizes and styles, with each type being designed to suit the needs of the particular application. For example, some agitator pumps are designed to handle higher viscosities or large particles, while others are intended for handling liquids with low viscosities or fine particles.

Agitator pumps also come in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, cast iron, and plastic. Depending on the application, different materials may be used to provide the best performance.

Agitator pumps require regular maintenance and inspection to ensure the highest levels of performance and reliability. This is especially important when pumping materials with abrasive solids or chemicals. Regular maintenance can help to reduce the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs.
