Pick the Right Agitator — Get the Right Food
Just as the right agitator makes the difference between crisp, flavorful sauerkraut and a mushy mix, the same principle applies across all food production. Whether your goal is gentle blending, protein extraction, or a stable emulsion, choosing the right agitator is key to achieving the ideal texture, yield, and quality.

The Agitator Lineup
Ribbon Agitators
Perfect for delicate blends like sauerkraut or dry mixes. Ribbons circulate material smoothly, maintaining structure while achieving uniformity.
Paddle Agitators
The workhorse for meat and protein systems. Paddles fold and smear to extract proteins, improve yield, and create cohesive, uniform textures.
Solid Flight Agitators
When it’s time for serious work — emulsions, viscous materials, or heavy pastes — solid flights push product with power, creating smooth, stable results.
Why It Matters
Each agitator style changes how your ingredients move, mix, and transform — directly impacting texture, consistency, and overall product quality. The right agitation helps you reduce processing time, improve uniformity, and protect product integrity.
Explore All Your Options
Blentech offers six unique agitator types plus custom designs to match your product’s exact needs — from delicate fermentation to high-shear emulsions.
Our engineers collaborate closely with processors to design tailored agitation solutions, ensuring every system delivers the ideal balance of shear, flow, and efficiency for your specific application.
Engineering Insight: Every product behaves differently — that’s why we test and validate mixing performance through pilot trials and data-driven modeling. Our team works with you to optimize agitation parameters before scaling up to production, helping you achieve consistent, high-quality results from day one.
