Claim:
1. 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.
