Vak Kimsa + Ansys Fluid Dynamics: Perfecting Tank Mixing Through Advanced Agitator Simulation

Vak Kimsa’s agitators are known for delivering reliable, efficient mixing across food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and other hygienic industries. To ensure every agitator performs flawlessly once installed in a customer’s tank, Vak Kimsa uses Ansys Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate exactly how the agitator will behave in real operating conditions.

Using Ansys CFD, Vak Kimsa can analyse the complete flow dynamics inside the tank –from velocity patterns and turbulence to shear distribution, solids suspension, stratification risks, and temperature gradients. This allows their engineers to visualise how the agitator interacts with the tank’s geometry, baffles, product viscosity, and filling levels. The result is a perfectly tuned design that achieves faster mixing, improved homogeneity, and greater energy efficiency.

For customers, this means every Vak Kimsa agitator has already undergone virtual performance testing tailored to the actual tank it will be installed in. Potential issues such as dead zones, insufficient circulation, vortexing, or uneven shear are identified and resolved before the agitator is manufactured. This reduces commissioning time, prevents costly redesigns, and ensures the mixer delivers optimal performance from day one.

In hygienic processing, CFD provides an additional advantage: it helps Vak Kimsa evaluate cleanability. By simulating how CIP fluids circulate around the tank and across critical surfaces, they can eliminate areas where residue might accumulate, ensuring the agitator supports full and effective cleaning. This strengthens hygiene compliance, reduces contamination risk, and improves product safety.

By combining decades of mixing expertise with the precision of Ansys Fluid Dynamics, Vak Kimsa delivers agitators that are not only efficient and robust but also meticulously engineered for hygienic environments. Customers benefit from better product quality, reduced waste, more efficient processing, and confidence that their mixing system has been optimised before it even reaches the factory floor.
