Are There Any Limitations to Using Propeller Agitators?
While propeller agitators are highly effective for many applications, they do have some limitations:
Shear Sensitivity: They may not be suitable for processes involving shear-sensitive materials. Limited Use in High Viscosity Systems: For extremely viscous fluids, other types of agitators such as anchor agitators may be more effective. Potential for Erosion: In abrasive slurry systems, the propeller blades may experience wear and tear, requiring more frequent maintenance.
