Prayon agitators are used to: hold solids in suspension; optimise distribution of any reactants introduced into the area to be agitated by horizontal shear; ensure high flow circulation in the tank; agitate the pulps at the surface to reduce the formation of foam and/or cool the pulps.

Agitators are mainly used in the following:

• acid attack on ores;
• suspension, formation, and enlargement of crystals in a pulp, and de-saturation of pulp.

This equipment has been designed to use as little energy as possible.

Prayon has been active in this area for over 50 years and has made many modifications to the original design. These modifications include, in particular, the introduction of electron beam welding, which considerably reduces the weld's residual tension, the addition of welded or bolted blades, and the creation of high-capacity blades using forming and bending technology.
