Mixing Tank
A vertical mixing vessel with arc transitions instead of corners, designed, manufactured and inspected to pressure vessel and atmospheric vessel standards.
Overview
What This Pump Does
The mixing tank is a vertical circular vessel with standard oval and torispherical heads top and bottom. The transition section uses a circular arc so there is no dead corner, which is what makes the vessel cleanable in practice rather than only on the drawing.
It is designed, manufactured and inspected in accordance with the pressure vessel standard GB150-2011 and the steel welded atmospheric pressure vessel standard NB/T 47003.1-2009, and built to meet GMP requirements. Volume runs from 100 L to 5000 L with other specifications made to customer requirement.

Key Benefits
What Is Built Into The Vessel
No Dead Corners
Circular arc transitions between shell and heads remove the pockets where product and cleaning residue collect.
Single Double Or Jacketed
Single layer, double layer with insulation, or jacket with insulation on tank and bottom head, depending on the temperature duty.
Agitation To Your Process
Mechanical stirring is specified per order rather than fixed by the catalogue.
Instruments Fitted At The Works
Aseptic air filter, thermometer, pH meter, pressure gauge and steam sterilisation connections are configured with the vessel.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Preparation And Blending
Making base liquids and blends before filling or before the next process step.
Heated Or Cooled Batches
Jacketed operation where the batch has to be held at temperature through the cycle.
Pharmaceutical And Food Compounding
Vessels built to GMP requirements for regulated production.
Who It Is For
- Food and beverage plants blending product
- Pharmaceutical and biotech compounding operations
- Cosmetics and daily chemical manufacturers
- Process contractors building vessel packages
Problems It Solves
Cleaning validation fails on geometry
Arc transitions and polished surfaces remove the corners that hold residue through a CIP cycle.
Temperature control is inadequate
Jacket and insulation on both shell and bottom head keep the batch at temperature instead of losing it through the base.
The vessel arrives incomplete
Instruments, filters and connections are specified and fitted with the tank, not sourced separately afterwards.

Compared With Other Options
| Storage tank | A storage tank holds product. A mixing tank is built around the agitator and the heat transfer surface. |
|---|---|
| SS reactor | A reactor is designed for reaction conditions with heavier jacket options. A mixing tank is for blending and preparation. |
Use Guide
From Enquiry To Installed Vessel
Define The Batch
Working and total volume, product, viscosity and the temperature the batch has to reach.
Approve The Drawing
Nozzle orientation, manhole position and agitator details are fixed on the GA drawing before fabrication.
Plan Site Access
Check door widths, headroom and lifting before the vessel diameter is finalised.
Commission And Clean
Run the CIP cycle and confirm coverage against internals before the first production batch.
