Method and apparatus for low froth agitation of tanked fluids

Disclosed is an agitator apparatus for mixing tanked fluids while simultaneously wiping any adherent fluids from the tank wall. The device comprises a fluid agitating means rotationally mounted within the tank for mixing the fluid held therein. At least one tank wall wiper blade is attached to the fluid agitating means to skim or wipe fluid from the tank wall as rotational movement of the agitation means occurs. The agitation means may, in itself, comprise one or more perforated mixing panels attached to a rotating shaft member so as to effectively mix the fluid as the shaft member is rotated.
