Agitator Pumps
Heavy-duty agitator pumps designed to keep slurry solids suspended and prevent sediment build-up in industrial, wastewater and process environments.
Industrial Agitator Pumps For Slurry Control
Agitator pumps are specialist submersible pumps used to keep solids suspended within tanks, sumps and pumping stations.
They are commonly deployed where slurry, silt, ash or sludge would otherwise settle and cause blockages or premature pump failure.
At Alton Pumps, we supply, install, service and repair agitator pumps as part of complete pumping systems — protecting primary pumps and improving reliability.
Correct selection and positioning is critical to effective agitation and long-term system performance.
Keeping
Solids
In Motion
Agitator pumps are specified where heavy solids accumulation is unavoidable and conventional pumping alone is insufficient.
They are typically installed as support pumps to assist primary transfer pumps within tanks and wet wells.
Our engineers assess solids density, duty cycles and tank geometry to ensure correct specification.
