IKA® Overhead Stirrer Accessories

Propeller Stirrers

With 4 (standard, local shearing forces) or 3 (flow-efficient, minimum shearing forces) blade design. For drawing the material to be mixed from the top to the bottom. Generates axial flow in the vessel. Used at medium to high speeds.

Turbine Stirrers

For drawing the material to be mixed from above. Generates axial flow in the vessel. Minimum danger of injury when contact is made with vessel. Minimum shearing forces. Used at medium to high speeds.

Dissolver Stirrers

Radial flow, for drawing the material to be mixed from the top and the bottom. High turbulence, high shearing forces. Particle reduction. Used at medium to high speeds.

Centrifugal Stirrers

Two-bladed, blades open with increasing speed. For stirring in round vessels with narrow necks. Effect is similar to that of a 4-bladed propeller stirrer. Medium to high speeds required.

Paddle Stirrers

Tangential flow, minimum turbulence, good heat exchange, gentle treatment of product. Used at low to medium speeds.

Anchor Stirrers

Tangential flow, high shearing rate at edges, minimum deposits on the vessel wall. Used at low speeds. Polymer reactions, even distribution of high mineral contents in liquids. The ideal stirrer for medium to highly viscous fluids.
