High Shear Tank

A jacketed mixing tank with a high shear mixer running at 3600RPM, used in dairy, fruit juice and food beverage production to mix sugar, milk powder, milk and juice products, beverages, starch, glue and colloids, stabiliser and other ingredients. The vessel is a three layer tank with insulation and jacket, built in SUS304 or SUS316L, with volumes from 500L to 3000L, customised. Standard fittings include a CIP cleaning ball, sight glass and sight lamp, temperature sensor, baffle plate, lifting ears, pull rod and four adjustable supporting legs.

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

High shear mixing at 3600RPM breaks down agglomerates that a conventional agitator leaves intact

Baffle plate stops the batch from simply rotating so shear is applied to the product instead of spinning it

Sight glass and sight lamp let the operator confirm dispersion without opening the tank

Four adjustable supporting legs allow levelling on an uneven plant floor without shimming

Insulated jacketed three layer build keeps batch temperature controlled through a long shear cycle

Problems

Problems It Solves

Agglomerated powder passes through a low shear agitator and reaches the product unmixed

Batches that rotate as a body get little effective mixing without a baffle

Opening a tank to check dispersion breaks the hygienic envelope

Fixed legs on an uneven floor leave a tank that will not drain fully
