Horizontal agitator

A horizontal agitator for producing a flow in a clarifier, comprising:

• a propeller connected to a submersible motor which is axially offset in relation thereto;
• and
• plate-shaped flow guide elements provided in downstream of the propeller, each of the plate-shaped flow guide elements extending in an axial plane thereof running substantially parallel to a propeller axis,
• wherein the propeller and the submersible motor are designed such that a flow in a direction from the propeller towards the submersible motor and through the plate-shaped flow guide elements is produced when the submersible motor is operated,
• the submersible motor is supported on a bottom of the clarifier via at least two first flow guide elements,
• the first flow guide elements are interconnected via at least one carrier plate receiving the submersible motor,
• the first flow guide elements extend from the carrier plate such that the first flow guide elements point away from each other at an angle of more than 90°, and
• the carrier plate with the first flow guide elements installed thereon forms a mount, on which an assembly unit formed from the submersible motor and the propeller is detachably fastened by a coupling device.
