Stainless steel blending tank with agitator drive mounted on the top head
Dairy Machinery

Blending Tank

A vertical mixing and blending tank for food and beverage production, used for flavoured milk, UHT milk, fruit juice and other beverage blending steps. Volumes run from 500L to 30,000L and the shell is built in SUS304 or SUS316L. The tank can be supplied as a single layer, a double layer PU insulated build or a three layer dimple jacket build, and the agitator is chosen from paddle, anchor, propeller, frame, side and eccentric types so mixing matches the viscosity and batch behaviour of the recipe.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Agitator type is selected for the recipe so thin juice and heavier dairy blends each get an appropriate mixing action

Three jacket and insulation options mean the buyer pays for heating or holding capability only where the process needs it

Batch volume is set between 500L and 30,000L so tank size follows recipe batch size instead of forcing recipes to a fixed tank

A single tank design covers dairy and juice blending duties so a mixed line does not need two different tank suppliers

Design is made to customer requirements so nozzle and platform arrangements fit the existing building layout

Problems

Problems It Solves

One fixed agitator type cannot mix both thin juices and heavier dairy blends evenly

Uninsulated blending tanks lose batch temperature and force reheating before the next step

Standard tank volumes that do not match recipe batch size leave partial batches and yield loss

Tanks that are not built to the plant layout need pipework rework at installation

Comparison

How It Compares

High speed emulsification tank

An emulsification tank drives shear for emulsions while this tank is built for general batch blending

Storage silo

A silo holds product at temperature while the blending tank is built around an agitator for recipe mixing

Single layer open mixing vessel

The double or three layer builds add insulation or jacket service so batch temperature can be held or changed

FAQ

Blending Tank FAQ

Which agitator do I need

Paddle, anchor, propeller, frame, side and eccentric agitators are available. The choice follows product viscosity and batch behaviour, so send the recipe details for a recommendation.

What tank volumes are available

From 500L to 30,000L, customised, so the tank is built around your batch size.

Do I need an insulated or jacketed tank

Single layer suits mixing only. A double layer PU insulated build holds batch temperature and a three layer dimple jacket build allows heating or cooling service.

Can it be used for juice as well as milk

Yes. It is used across dairy and fruit juice beverage processing including flavour milk, UHT milk and juice blending.

Which stainless grade is supplied

SUS304 and SUS316L are both available and the grade is fixed in the order.

What is the delivery time

It depends on volume, jacket type and agitator selection and is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
