Fertigation is the technique that allows the nutrients to be delivered to the crop through the irrigation network in the most optimal and efficient way, ensuring that the dosed fertiliser reaches the plant. To do this, it is necessary to add a liquid solution to the irrigation water that can be easily dosed. When preparing this solution, it is advisable to use mechanical means to stir the mixture and help it to dissolve.

At ITC we have turbine mixers, one of the most common mixing systems and one of the most efficient for dissolving solid fertilisers in agricultural water.

Turbine mixers, based on the design of centrifugal pumps, promote efficient mixing by driving the liquid and creating turbulence, which facilitates more complete and uniform dissolution of fertilisers. Importantly, they are also capable of agitating the bottom of the tank.

On the other hand, turbine mixers also have certain advantages in terms of mixing quality, energy costs and installation costs compared to other mixing systems such as blowers. The turbine agitator uses less energy and achieves a more homogeneous mixture by avoiding the accumulation of undissolved solids at the bottom of the tank. It is also suitable for both liquid and solid fertilisers, unlike blowers.
