@richard1 Yeah exactly, hence why I'm starting at the start looking for info on paddle/blade designs so I can calculate the rest. If it becomes too hard I'll do as you suggested and I'll find a mob that can design & build a drop in unit for me but atm I'd prefer to build it all myself to save costs etc. Thanks

Thanks mate, I should clarify that the original milk tank agitator won't be used, a whole new setup is being made which will be centrally located in the tank with a larger motor/gearbox once everything is designed up & the power requirements are worked out

Hi guys, I'm in the process of designing/building a mashtun/lauter tun out of a 1200L insulated milk tank. I'm wanting to build an agitator/rake setup as found in a lauter tun and was wondering what the best design for the rakes is? Every one I look at is designed differently so I can't work out a design to go with. Eventually I'm planning to use the tank as a malt germination tank as well with the rakes to turn the malt as it germinates. Whether I'll need to have another rake/turner design for that I'm not sure yet... Any help/info that can be provided is really appreciated. Thanks
