Abstract: An agitator for being disposed in a container and rotated to agitate fluid in the container includes a shaft and an impeller attached thereto. The shaft, being supported relative to the container, provides an input for attachment of a rotation mechanism for causing rotation of the impeller and shaft. The impeller includes an impeller body defined by a hub portion for receiving and being mounted to the shaft, and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from a longitudinal axis of the hub portion. The impeller body is a single piece of unitary construction, such as where the plurality of blades are formed in a manner that the blades are integral with the hub portion at the formation of the blades.

Abstract: An agitator mounting assembly is provided for hanging an agitator relative to a container for enabling rotation of the agitator to agitate fluid in a container. The agitator mounting assembly is configured to align the agitator both radially relative to and longitudinally along a central longitudinal container axis of the container. The agitator mounting assembly includes an annular base member and a coupling member that cooperatively engage one another to hang the agitator in the container. The annular base member is removably couplable to the container and provides for access to a shaft of the agitator disposed in the container. The coupling member is removably couplable to the shaft and is supported by the annular base member when coupled to the shaft to thereby support the hanging of the agitator from the agitator mounting assembly.
