Estimating the cost of an agitator
Agitation. Mixing - Technical and economic aspects

For "Notations and symbols", please refer to [J 3 904]. The main components of an agitator are shown on figure 1 in the article. Agitation. Mixing. Mechanical aspects.

To simplify this study, we will consider "manufactured" elements, i.e. including labor and materials, and we will take into account a manufactured gearbox, and not the details of this part. Similarly, the time required to assemble and test the agitator will be allocated to the price of each assembled element (figure 1).

Analysis of each sub-assembly shows that the cost of the part in question is related to the torque to be transmitted
