Mix It Stirrers

The stirrers illustrated here are the agricultural models. They can be adapted by other trades to suit their conditions and power requirement. A long axial space is available for your designs.

• These stirrers/ agitators/ whisks have been developed from my practical experience whilst mixing clients' stores.
• They have a unique combination of a rotating tube and auger, married to the 80-200hp two stage impellers rated at 100, 130, 180Hp the impellers are interchangeable. plus or minus 20HP.
• There are NO SUBMERGED BEARINGS, so NO submerged framework to stop circulation.
• They are unaffected by string, wire or long fibrous crust, indeed string is usefully collected on the tube rather than arriving in your pumps or spreaders. 
• Crust is most effectively broken up by rotating chopping impellers. Jetters and pumps are much slower at producing the homogenous slurry required for trouble free pumping.
• These stirrers will significantly reduce your mixing times, particularly with thick crust.
• They are mechanically simple and have two metric ball bearings mounted on tapered sleeves.
• The innovative features of these machines have been tried and tested by farmers and contractors since 1988 and the design has been proven to be effective and reliable.

The LAGOON Stirrer

  • The LAGOON stirrer will transmit all the available power. 
  • The agricultural version shown here will transmit up to 200h.p. 
  • The auger has proved most effective where thick crusts need to be incorporated. 
  • Considerable time is saved by speedy access to the liquid and by the slicing of the lands of crust as they circulate past the rotating tube unimpeded by stationary framework. 
  • The frame has been carefully designed to make hydraulic top links unnecessary in most stores but they are available for contractors who encounter a wide variety of installations or farmers with deep stores. 
  • Tube length and diameter can be altered to suit the depth, length and strength required. Typical lengths are 6m / 20ft and 7.5m / 25ft.
  • Impellors of any axial length, reverse thrust or specials can be safely supported by the tube.
  • The impellor's boss slides off the square drive (when the R clip and pin are removed) allowing quick removal for cleaning or exchange.

200HP+Lagoon Stirrer

This combination is designed for the growing number of Farmers and Contractors with powerful tractors, larger lagoons and not much time. 

Stirring times are significantly reduced. All the advantages of the Mixit design are present. 

The stirrer uses the large diameter tube to provide the strength to support the four larger and thicker blades of the HL3 impeller. 

The standard machine is 22ft/6.6m long, has the Walterscheid 2600 very heavy duty PTO shaft, and the new HL3 impeller. Lengths above 22ft can be supplied but the extra weight of the impeller requires extra care from the operator when driving on bumpy ground 

Double acting 3 point linkage is required at high stirring angles, to stop the machine being lifted by the high thrust generated.

  • The TOWER STIRRER can be hydraulically raised from its optional trailer. 
  • Contractors and farmers will appreciate this well built machine. Its maintenance free Vee belts easily transmit the 70/100 hp demanded by the multi-stage impellor. 
  • Belts are much quieter than gearboxes and have a design life of 12000 hours. 
  • Typical stirring times are four times quicker than conventional machines and many tanks that were previously impossible to stir are successfully emptied. 
  • It can stir to base level so is ideal for lifting and mixing sediments from pigs etc. or separators.
  • Any thickness of weedy crust can be stirred as the rotating auger/tube will cut through it to reach the liquid to start the mix, and then allow the tube to be manoeuvred to free up the edges. The tower video above shows how thick crust passes the tube. See also Rotating tube

Under-slat / Lagoon Stirrer 

A simple Mixit under-slat stirrer is available. 
It is generally around 4m/14ft long, and only weighs 150kg. It will replace the complicated, expensive pumps presently used to stir under slats. It is hugely quicker, and gives you lump free slurry in both lagoons and under-slats.

It is inserted under the slats, either prior to mounting on the tractor, or after the bottom links are attached and then fully lifted to obtain a good angle to pass through limited access holes. The top link is then attached. The standard length of the machine is 13-15ft. but machines can be made to any length so they could also be used for lagoon stirring. Alternatively a short stirrer could be combined with the 3 metre extension frame( See Under Lagoon Stirrer ) then you can stir both with the one machine.

When an auger is fitted on the tube it will significantly reduce mixing times with tanks that use dividing walls to circulate the tank's contents, as the crust can pass, unimpeded by framework, to the impeller. Assistance is preferable when feeding an auger into tanks with a small access hole.
