The long-term solution
Applications
Guth Portable Agitators RA are used for the mixing,
stirring and the homogenization of water-like or medium
viscosity products. They are most often used in wine
cellars for the production of wine and sparkling wine,
but are also utilized in other areas of the food and
beverage industries in which gentle and effective mixing
is required.
The classic characteristics of the RA series agitators are
their lasting durability and their gentle efficiency. They
are an important partner in winemaking throughout the
world due to their first rate mixing results. The Guth
Portable Agitator RA is the unparalleled, long-term
solution for every mixing problem.
Possible applications for the RA agitator
include:
Stirring of liquids to prevent deposit of turbids and Emulsification of sterile preparations and the
other solid substances as well as stirring of the dregs for homogenization of distillations.

Mobile Support Stands
The mobile support stand holds the agitator when in use. They facilitate installation and removal and ensure that
all movements can be carried out in an ergonomic way. They also relieve the tank fitting from additional weight.
For the agitator type RA 300 a mobile support stand is strongly recommended.

Specification Advice
The length of the shaft (H) that enters
into the tank should amount at least
150 mm. This means that for the
minimum length of the shaft: Bmin =
A + F + H (= 150 mm) + G (length
of the tank fitting). Especially in cases
of tanks with thick walls (brick and
mortar) and long tank fittings it is
recommended to lengthen the shaft.
