Process for continuously stirring a medium subjected to a continuous process, characterized in that the medium is continuously fed by an inlet port to an end of a hollow container of which at least part has a cylindrical inner surface and a length considerably greater than its diameter; said part has the cylindrical inner surface free of diverting plates over a greater part of its length; the medium is continuously agitated inside said part by the rotation of a stirrer on an axis practically parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aforementioned cylindrical inner surface; said agitator comprises one or more sections, each of which comprises at least two interconnected and radially arranged sheets extending parallel to the axis of the agitator; the length of the sheets is, at least, a greater proportion of the length of the section of the agitator; the total length of the agitator is a large proportion of the length of said cylindrical surface, and the width of the sheets is such that when the agitator is rotated it generates a ring by the rotation of the sheets about the agitator axis and the diameter The outside of the ring is at least 60% of the inner diameter of said cylindrical inner surface, and the thickness of the ring is at least 50% of the inner radius of said cylindrical inner surface; and then continuously withdrawing the medium from the other end of said container.
