High Shear Tank
A high shear tank from 500 L to 3000 L in SUS304 or SUS316L, built as a three layer tank with insulation and jacket, with a high shear mixer running at 3600 RPM.
Product Overview
A high shear tank from 500 L to 3000 L in SUS304 or SUS316L, built as a three layer tank with insulation and jacket, with a high shear mixer running at 3600 RPM. It mixes sugar, milk powder, milk products, juice products, beverages, starch, gums, colloids and stabilisers. Standard components include product inlet and outlet, manway, air ventilation cap, CIP cleaning ball, sight glass, sight lamp, temperature sensor, lifting ear, pull rod, baffle plate and four adjustable supporting legs.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
3600 RPM High Shear Mixer
Two and a half times the speed of the emulsification tank's head. Where a formulation needs maximum shear to disperse, this is the tank for it.
Baffle Plate Fitted
Without baffles, a high speed mixer spins the whole batch as one body and shears nothing. The baffle plate is what converts rotation into mixing.
Sight Glass and Sight Lamp
Being able to see what is happening in the tank during a mix is how an operator knows the powder has gone in rather than sitting on the surface.
Handles Finished Products as Well as Ingredients
Milk products, juice products and beverages are named alongside raw ingredients, so the tank works on both premix and finished blend duty.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Mixing sugar and milk powder into a dairy base
- Dispersing stabilisers into juice and beverage products
- Blending starch and colloids into a formulation
- Preparing concentrated premixes
- Mixing finished beverage products before filling
- Hydrating gum systems at elevated temperature
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Beverage Formulators
Gum and stabiliser systems need high shear to hydrate, and 3600 RPM is the speed that does it.
Dairy Producers
Sugar, milk powder and milk products are all named applications for this tank.
Juice Producers
Juice products and beverages are mixed here as finished blends as well as premixes.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Powder Floating on the Surface
High shear with a baffle plate pulls powder down into the batch instead of letting it raft.
Batches Rotating Without Mixing
The baffle plate breaks the rotational flow that otherwise defeats a high speed mixer.
Not Knowing What Is Happening Inside
Sight glass and sight lamp let the operator watch the dispersion rather than guess at it.

Sourcing And Inspection
This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.
Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Add powder gradually into a running vortex rather than all at once.
Step 2
Use the sight glass to confirm full dispersion before ending the mix.
Step 3
Set jacket temperature to the hydration requirement of your ingredient system.
Step 4
Avoid over-shearing sensitive products, since prolonged high shear can damage them.
Step 5
Clean in place immediately after the batch through the fitted CIP ball.

Guides That Cover This Product
Pasteurisation Versus UHT for Liquid Dairy
Three thermal profiles, three different machines and three different distribution models. Which one your plant needs is decided by shelf life and cold chain, not by capacity.
Specifying a CIP System That Actually Cleans
A cleaning cycle that runs without flow cleans nothing and reports success. Conductivity monitoring, flow switches and return pump selection are what make CIP verifiable.
