The gas trap agitator that floats
The standard for safety and ease of use
Canadian patents 2,859,388 and 160,136. Other patents pending.
Safe
Goodbye electricity, hello air.
The Floatair Agitator motor operates on air eliminating injury or damage due to electrical shock, fire or explosion.
Versatile
Configurable to work in a wide variety of possum belly or trap box designs.
Fitted with a floatation device, the agitator will float at the proper level even as fluid levels change. When floatation is prohibited the float can easily be removed from the barrel and configured for fixed operation.
Durable
Constructed from materials chosen to withstand the harsh environment of the oil field.
A barrel and impeller that is made of Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) that is 10 times more abrasive resistant than steel. Stainless steel stand and fittings, paired with a medical grade powder coated aluminum float.
Easy To Use
The days of struggling with cumbersome agitators are over.
With its lightweight (combined weight under 30lbs) adjustable design and powerful magnets, mounting the agitator in a variety of locations and positions is a breeze.
