Competitor’s Hollow Shaft Design:

The perfect place for bacterial growth!

Design Advantages:• Unique agitator design provides superior

strength over the competition.

• Agitators constructed of solid stainless or carbon steel bar rather than a hollow tube.

• No nuts, bolts, internal flanges or drilled through support posts which can weaken even a solid shaft to the point of breakage.

• Design features a heavy plate post with a plasma cut hole. Each post slips over the solid bar shaft then is continuously welded 360° on both sides of the shaft, welds are ground smooth an have large radii throughout.

• Post construction adds to, rather than takes away from, the structural integrity of the agitator.
