Proposed project is to modify design and FE analysis of S shaped agitator to perform pulp stirrer and feeder operations in pulping equipment. Generally in pulping industry pulp is mostly feed to different processes by screw feeder mechanism, here also screw feeder is already designed and standardized, in that standard screw mechanism upper hollow tank collecting the pulp which is very unmixed and not properly stirred after bleaching and other operation in chemical as well as in mechanical pulping. So, to make this purpose solve practically in existing setup, we need to design an agitator which will help to distribute the pulp in feeder opening of screw conveyor. Now while distribution pulp must be previously stirred for that on the top of agitator assembly stirrer is to be mounted preliminary it can be T shaped vertically mounted as shown. Stirrer will be designed in such a way that it must hold load of coming pulp from the top and must be rotate without any bending deformation occurred in the agitator.
