Mixing Tank

I. Product Overview

The mixing tank—also known as a blending tank, mixing vessel, or reaction mixing tank—is a versatile fluid processing unit that integrates mixing, temperature control, material reaction, homogenization/emulsification, and storage/batching capabilities. Featuring a simple structure, stable operation, and ease of cleaning, the equipment is widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, personal care products, fine chemicals, water treatment, and coatings. It is suitable for processes including liquid-liquid mixing, solid-liquid dissolution, material reactions, thermal holding/maturation, and vacuum degassing.

II. Main Applications

· Pharmaceutical Industry: Preparation of liquid medicines, gelatin melting, buffer solution formulation, and aseptic ingredient mixing; compliant with GMP clean production requirements.

· Food & Personal Care: Mixing, emulsification, and formulation of beverages, syrups, sauces, emulsions, creams, shampoos, and fragrance ingredients.

· Fine Chemicals: Mixing, neutralization, dispersion, and blending of adhesives, resins, additives, coatings, and reagents.

III. Product Structural Features

· Comprises a tank body, agitation system, drive system, temperature-control jacket, sealing system, process ports, and support frame.

· Interior and exterior surfaces are polished; features a sanitary design with no dead zones or residue accumulation; supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) for high cleanliness standards.

· Driven by a motor-reducer assembly; ensures smooth operation, low noise, and uniform mixing.

· Options for mechanical seals or aseptic seals; supports operation under atmospheric pressure, sealed conditions, or vacuum.

· Equipped with standard process ports including manholes, sight glasses, inlet/outlet ports, temperature and pressure sensors, and cleaning ports.

IV. Core Performance Characteristics

· High Versatility: Suitable for various operating conditions, including low-viscosity liquids, high-viscosity pastes, powder dissolution, suspension mixing, and chemical reactions.

· Precise Temperature Control: Jacket-style heat exchange allows for heating, cooling, and constant-temperature holding; offers a wide temperature range and uniform heat transfer.

· Diverse Agitation Options: Compatible with various agitator types—such as paddle, anchor, frame, turbine, propeller, or dispersion disc—tailored to specific material requirements.

· Stable Operation: Features variable frequency speed control and high torque; ensures thorough mixing without dead zones; prevents high-viscosity materials from sticking to walls or scorching.

· Safe and Sanitary: Constructed from sanitary-grade stainless steel; corrosion-resistant and easy to sterilize; meets requirements for aseptic, explosion-proof, and clean production.

· High Automation: Supports PLC-based automatic control, liquid level monitoring, temperature control, and timed mixing; suitable for integration into automated production lines.

V. Common Material Specifications

· 304 Stainless Steel: Offers general corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning; suitable for food products, standard personal care items, and aqueous solution preparation.

· 316L Stainless Steel: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and chloride ions; offers high purity; suitable for pharmaceuticals, sterile materials, and fine chemicals.
