Abstract

In an agitator in which cavitation arising during treatment of a fluid being treated is suppressed, a stator part S is provided with a plurality of penetration parts in the circumferential direction of the stator part S, and a stator main part positioned between adjacent penetration parts. When a fluid is discharged from the inside of the stator part S to the outside through the penetration part by the rotation of a rotor, in the stator part S for the agitator treating the fluid, the side facing a blade of the rotor is an inner wall surface, the side facing a blade of the rotor is an inner wall surface, the side facing the side opposite to the blade of the rotor is an outer wall surface, an opening of the plurality of penetration parts that is provided in the inner wall surface is an inflow opening, and an opening of the plurality of penetration parts that is provided in the outer wall surface is an outflow opening, the opening area of the inflow opening being larger than the opening are of the outflow opening.
