Product Overview

Model HTK-JQG-01 high shear tank in volumes from 500 L to 3000 L, built in SUS304 or SUS316L as a three layer tank with insulation and jacket. The high shear mixer runs at 3600 RPM and handles sugar, milk powder, dairy and juice products, beverages, starch, colloids and stabilisers. Standard fittings include product inlet and outlet, manway, air ventilation cap, CIP cleaning ball, sight glass and lamp, temperature sensor, lifting ear, pull rod, baffle plate and four adjustable legs.

Key Benefits

High shear mixer at 3600 RPM for the most demanding dispersion duties
Baffle plate improves mixing rather than letting the batch swirl
Sight glass and lamp let the operator see the batch without opening the vessel
Three layer insulated and jacketed construction
Volumes from 500 L to 3000 L

Problems It Solves

Stabilisers and gums that will not hydrate in a low shear mixer
Batches swirling as a mass instead of mixing, without baffles
Operators opening the manway to check progress and risking contamination
Temperature loss during a long mixing cycle

Where It Is Used

Applications And Buyers

Application Scenarios

Dispersing stabilisers and colloids into beverage bases
Reconstituting milk powder at high solids
Preparing starch based formulations
Producing juice and dairy beverage bases before pasteurising

Who It Is For

Beverage manufacturers using hydrocolloids
Dairy processors reconstituting powder
Food manufacturers preparing complex formulations
Plants whose current mixer cannot disperse stabilisers fully

Compared With The Alternatives

High speed emulsification tank	This tank runs its high shear mixer at 3600 RPM against 1440 RPM on the emulsification tank, which suits the harder dispersion duties.
Blending tank with a paddle agitator	A paddle keeps liquid moving; high shear is what actually breaks down and disperses powders and gums.

Use Guide

Use the sight glass and lamp to judge dispersion instead of opening the manway
Add powders steadily rather than all at once to avoid lumps
Keep the baffle plate in place, since removing it lets the batch swirl without mixing
Watch batch temperature, since high shear inputs heat
