ACT® Stirrers
Two helical ACT® coated stirrers. The coating prevents erosion of the blades and ensures extended service life and optimum stirring efficiency.

ACT® Stirrers
A helical stirrer in the process of being coated. The sophisticated robotic ACT® coating equipment means that complex-shaped parts can be evenly and effectively coated.

ACT® Stirrers
An ACT® coated paddle stirrer. Coated stirrers provide optimum stirring efficiency for highly extended duration.

ACT® Stirrers
A large ACT® coated paddle stirrer. The coating prevents erosion of the blades and ensures extended service life and optimum stirring efficiency.

ACT® Stirrers
The same large ACT® coated paddle stirrer after a 12-month campaign in opal glass. The coating remains pristine and fully protects the ceramic stirrer.

ACT® Stirrers
A four-blade ACT® coated paddle stirrer developed by Johnson Matthey and Videocon for the CRT industry. The shape of the ceramic maximises the stirring efficiency.

ACT® Stirrers
A closer look at the ACT® coated four-blade stirrer. Fully protected by the coating, glass corrosion is eliminated, enabling reduced ceramic cross sections. These stirrers present less resistance to glass flow, whilst enhancing stirring efficiency.

ACT® Stirrers
Two ACT® coated paddle stirrers developed by Johnson Matthey and Videocon for the CRT industry. The shape of the ceramic remains unchanged after 2 years in glass.

A closer look at the ACT® coated four-blade stirrer after more than two years in glass.
This stirrer is still fully protected by the coating. Each blade has maintained its original shape throughout the whole life cycle.

ACT® Stirrers
A closer look at the glass line of the ACT® coated four-blade stirrer. The glass corrosion is eliminated by the platinum coating. The stirrer looks as good as when originally coated.

ACT® Stirrers
Another example of ACT® coated stirrers. The length of the coating on the shaft is defined according to customer requirements.

ACT® Stirrers
If required, ACT® coating can be fully or partially polished. This is an example of an ACT® coated stirrer shaft polished with a “mirror finish”. Different grades of polishing are available.
