Mixing tank

Mixing tanks are essential equipment in the food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries. They are used to efficiently mix, emulsify and homogenize liquids or powders to ensure uniform mixing, temperature control and hygiene during the production process.

>>> Feature and Advantage：

• Homogeneous Mixing – Ensures consistent product without lumps or separation.

• Versatile Design– Supports liquid-liquid and liquid-powder mixing.

• Temperature Control (Optional)– Steam or water jacket for heating/cooling.

• Hygienic and CIP Compatible – Stainless steel construction and CIP system for easy cleaning.

• Customizable Options – Available in different sizes, mixing speeds and automation levels.

• Energy-Efficient Operation – Optimized mixing reduces processing time.

Step 1: Filling

Ingredients (liquid, powder or syrup) are placed in the tank.

Step 2: Mixing and stirring

Electric stirrers or high shear mixers ensure thorough mixing.

Step 3: Heating/cooling (if applicable)

For temperature-sensitive products, a jacket system controls the temperature.

Step 4: Homogenization (if required)

High shear emulsifiers can be added for fine mixing of thick or viscous liquids.

Step 5: Discharging and further processing

The finished product is pumped out for filtration, pasteurization or packaging.

>>>Main Components:

1. Tank – Made of SUS304/SUS316L stainless steel, hygienic and corrosion-resistant.

2. Mixing System – Can include impeller, paddle or high shear homogenizer.

3. Jacked Design (optional) – Can be heated or cooled with steam, hot water or chilled water.

4. CIP (Cleaning in Place) System – Automatic cleaning without disassembly.

5. Control Panel – Can be operated manually or automatically based on PLC.

>>>Working Principle：

Mixing tanks use agitators or high shear mixers to thoroughly mix the ingredients. The process includes:

1. Ingredient feeding: Liquid and/or powdered ingredients are added to the tank.

2. Agitation and mixing: The mixing mechanism (impeller, paddle or high shear emulsifier) ensures uniform mixing.

3. Temperature control (optional): Jacketed tanks can provide heating or cooling for temperature-sensitive products.

4. Homogenization and emulsification: Additional high shear mixing can be used for finer mixing.

5. Discharge and further processing: The final product is pumped out for the next stage (e.g. pasteurization or filling).

• Food and Beverages – Juices, dairy products, seaweed juices, sauces, syrups and beverages.

• Dairy Processing – Milk, yogurt, ice cream bases and cream mixing.
