Machine selection begins with the intended material system. Fiber type and length, solids content, hydration behavior, viscosity and required application rate influence the tank, agitation method, pump and discharge configuration.
Mechanical-agitation systems use paddles or similar components inside the tank to blend and suspend materials. They are generally suitable where dense, fiber-rich mixtures require controlled mechanical mixing. Jet-agitation systems use recirculated liquid to mix the tank contents and may be appropriate for less viscous slurries and high-output applications. Actual capability depends on the complete system, not the agitation label alone.
