Introduction

Stainless steel mixing tanks serve as core equipment in production processes across food and beverage, biopharmaceutical, fine chemical, and cosmetic industries. They integrate multiple functions including mixing, blending, temporary storage, formulation, heating, and cooling. This equipment efficiently processes various fluids, pastes, and high-viscosity slurries within a highly clean and controllable environment, forming a crucial foundation for ensuring product uniformity, stability, and hygienic safety.

Wanzhi Machinery stainless steel mixing tanks feature large capacities, corrosion-resistant materials, easy cleaning, and extended service life. Beyond mixing tanks, our product range includes filling machines, stainless steel reactors, and stainless steel water storage tanks.

Working Principle

The core function of stainless steel mixing tanks is achieved through “power transmission + agitator action,” ensuring uniform mixing or processing of materials within the tank. The overall process consists of three steps:

The motor provides power, which is adjusted for speed and torque via a reducer. This power is then transmitted through a drive shaft to rotate the agitator inside the tank (e.g., paddle-type, anchor-type);
As the agitator rotates, it induces shear, convection, or diffusion within the tank contents, disrupting material stratification to achieve uniform mixing, dissolution, or blending;
For heating/cooling requirements, heat/cold sources can be introduced through the tank jacket or internal coils to simultaneously regulate material temperature during agitation.

Structure of Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks

Motor: Provides primary power to drive the agitator blades, achieving mixing and blending of materials within the tank.
Cleaning Ball (CIP Ball): The equipment’s “automatic cleaner,” installed at the top of the tank.
Feed Port: The “entry point” for materials. Typically designed on the top or side of the tank.
Steam Inlet: The “channel” for heat. Connects to an external steam source, directing steam into the jacket (or inner liner cavity) to heat the contents via heat transfer.
Agitator (impeller): Rotates to uniformly mix different ingredients within the tank, or to achieve dispersion, dissolution, and suspension of materials.
Manhole: A sufficiently large opening allowing operators to enter the tank for inspection, maintenance, or thorough manual cleaning.
Inner Tank: Constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304/316L), it directly contacts the material.
Jacket: The “temperature controller.” Enveloping the outer surface of the inner tank, it forms a cavity space for circulating steam (heating), cold water, or coolant (cooling).
Outer Casing: The “insulation layer.” Covering the exterior of the jacket, it primarily protects the jacket and isolates it from the external environment.

Options

Agitator Types: Paddle, Anchor, Frame, Ribbon, Gear, Propeller, Detachable Turbine, Curved Vortex, Brumakin, and Straight Disc Turbine.
Other Options: Reducer, Heater, Valve, Sight Glass, Sanitary Pump, Mechanical Seal, Instrumentation, and Vacuum Pump.
