Mixing & Agitation
We'll keep your fluids in motion
The challenge
Variation in viscosity and mass causes multiple challenges in a tank. In order to have a successful agitation system, we collect data, do calculations and analyses before the the correct design is choosen. Input like tank geometry and fluid physical properties (density, particle size and content, viscosity and temperature) all play major parts on the result.
It is important to understand the process in the tank;
- What enters the tank?
- What should happen in the tank?
- What should the optimum product be for the downstream process?
Based on the given information we will calculate the correct PG-SUBMIX to solve your motion challenges.

The Solution
PG Flow Solutions have delivered agitators and mixers from the early 1980`s. We know how to make your liquids move.
The optimum rheology was discovered by laboratory scaled test. Based on the laboratory tests scale up rules were established and are still in use. By selling more than 3 000 PG-SUBMIX worldwide without any claim related to the rheology it is considered as proven technology.
The design guidelines are the same today as in the 80's.
We find the optimum impeller geometry to the process and the tank to minimize the energy consumption. Place the impeller at the correct location in the tank. Install the drive directly coupled to the impeller to avoid energy transition by gearboxes and shafts.
When the process is not verified by previous installations PG will do a CFD analysis of the tank and agitator to verify the rheology and the required installed power.
All PG-SUBMIX are built in the PG workshop in Sande Norway. Typical materials are Steel, Stainless steel and Super duplex steel.

How to get started
Let's talk about what you need. Describe your challenges and we'll recommend the best option for you.
Whether it is a set product, a component or a designed solution.
What to expect
#1 Design
Describe your challenge.
In cooperation with technical supervisors and the workshop, we will draw the first solution concepts in the form of descriptions, sketches, or models to solve your challenge.
We proceed with GA drawings, which illustrate dimensions and functionality. Together we discuss, test, and optimize.
#2 Build
Now, let's build it!
We cut, bend, machine, weld, assemble, treat and test a variety of components in-house. From the design we have detailed steel drawings that describes which parts we must process.
When all the steel parts have been made and welded together, we will normally carry out surface treatment with paint or acid pickling.
#3 Operate
We'll take care of you.
For some projects, our presence will be needed to carry out assembly and commissioning, other times the customer takes care of this process with support from us.
Our main goal is to verify that the systems and components are installed and operated according to the project- and client requirements.
