Homa: Robust Stainless Steel Construction Ensures Flawless Operation
Submersible motor agitators are often used in the homogenisation and suspension of fluids. Stringy solid matter, however, which tends to form strands in waste water and can cause clogging, represents a significant threat to these systems.

Consequently, the centrifugal output of the agitator rapidly falls off – indeed, the unit may even fail altogether.
