Our agitators are ideal for blending/mixing products across a wide range of viscosities, providing optimal mixing and improved heat transfer rates through scraped-surface agitation. Lee agitators can be custom designed for new or existing kettles, tanks and vacuum pans, including hemispherical, flat, dished and cone bottom configurations. Agitator bars and scrapers are designed to work to create uniformly blended product.

Agitator Features
We manufacture custom processing equipment based exclusively on your product processing needs. To provide a complete look at all of the features we offer with our agitators, we've included a description of them.
Scraper Blades
- Scrape the walls of the vessel to ensure thorough agitation
- A variety of scraper blade styles and materials are available, including time-tested Lee standard scraper blades, to wide mixing/lifting/heavy-duty shovel-style scraper assemblies
Agitator Bars
- Provide additional top to bottom mixing of the product as the agitator scrapes the walls and swirls the product toward the agitator bars
Vertical Baffle
- Adjustable or removable baffles are available
Secondary Mixer
- Provides thorough agitation as the agitator scrapes the walls and swirls the product toward the secondary mixer
High-Shear Mixer
- Can be added to incorporate powders into liquids to minimize lumps and create a smooth liquid.
Auxiliary Prop
- Provides additional mixing and agitation
Extensions
- By extending an agitator to the top of your kettle, tank or vacuum pan, you'll be sure not to miss any of your product as the agitator mixes completely from top to bottom
Inclines
- Designing your agitator at an incline will provide uniform dispersion and direct the product to the bottom outlet for thorough discharge of the batch
Gearboxes
- Our gearboxes offer the most robust drive systems for our agitators. Optional independent "piggy-back" style gearbox designs are available for double-motion agitators, maximizing mixing flexibility for future products.
Electropolishing and Finishing
- We recognize the demand for high-quality, durable, ultra-sanitary finishes. We provide world-class mechanical finishes and can also provide electropolish finishes on many of our parts and products.
