Case studies: Agitators for yeast production
Customer
Angel Yeast is one of the world’s leading yeast production companies. Their products are used in baking, nutrition and health, and biotechnologies.
Project
The customer sought an agitator supplier that could meet their needs and show a high level of involvement in order to adapt products to the request.
One of the main requirements was to provide a special flange to make it easy to remove the entire agitator from the tank without removing the propeller.

Why INOXPA?
The customer chose INOXPA due to the high level of product customisation in order to adapt to their needs (particularly among the agitator range). Furthermore, the customer felt very assured by the quality of INOXPA’s products when compared worldwide and by the option of providing a technical support service and spare parts in the country where their installation is located.
INOXPA solution
INOXPA supplied 254 agitators to the company, Angel Yeast - mainly the LR side entry models.
Installation characteristics
This agitator rotates a propeller that creates a flow to move the product towards the tank bottom, which makes the product flow upwards along the tank sides opposite the agitator and towards the liquid’s surface.
As such, the agitator is installed off-centre in the tank to also create a circular flow. These means that the product is fully homogenised that is essential with a product like yeast.
In order to improve the cleaning process for the tanks and the agitator itself, the LR models were supplied customised with a larger flange, making it easier to remove the agitator from the tank for a better cleaning.
Special features
INOXPA’s side entry agitators ensure that yeast is produced uniformly, preventing precipitation.
One of the agitator customisations involved increasing the flange size in order to make it easier to remove the entire agitator from the tank.
