For side entry agitator, the stirring apparatus is installed on the side wall of the cylinder. Axial flow agitators are usually adopted, mostly, propeller agitators; It will achieve better effect than other types of agitators when the power consumption is the same. Power consumption of a side-entry agitator is only 1/3-2/3 that of a top-entering agitator; and its cost is only 1/4-1/3 that of a top-entering agitator. Its rotational speed is within 200r-750r/min.

Side entry agitator is especially applicable to large storages tanks,high speed and power is bigger. It will produce favorable stirring effects with low power consumption.
