NNP Stainless jacketed vessel

• Mixing and heating liquid products in the food and beverage industry.
• Holding and processing pharmaceutical ingredients under controlled temperatures.
• Chemical reaction and storage in various industrial processes.
• Batch pasteurisation or sterilisation of sensitive products.
• Preparation of cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres to several thousand litres, with this specific unit being 150 litres.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Jacket type

Commonly features a dimpled, half-pipe, or full jacket for heating or cooling via steam, hot water, or chilled fluid.

Agitation

Many jacketed vessels include an agitator, which can be propeller, anchor, or paddle type, driven by an electric motor.

Operating temperature

Typically designed to operate across a broad temperature range, dependent on the heating/cooling medium and pressure rating.

Pressure rating

The jacket and internal vessel will have specific pressure ratings, which are crucial for safe operation with steam or pressurised fluids.

Power supply

If fitted with an agitator or control panel, power requirements are commonly 3-phase industrial supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK).

Connections

Units typically feature various connections for product inlet/outlet, jacket media, temperature probes, and CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems.

• What is a jacketed vessel used for?

  A jacketed vessel is used for heating, cooling, or maintaining the temperature of its contents. The jacket allows a heating or cooling medium to circulate around the main vessel.

• What are the benefits of stainless steel construction?

• How do I determine the correct size of vessel for my needs?

• What utilities are typically required for a jacketed vessel?

• Can this vessel be used for pressurised applications?

Process vessels and storage tanks for bioprocessing and pharmaceutical manufacturing are valued for robust construction and compliance with GMP standards. Buyers typically seek equipment with verified validation documentation, material certifications, and service history. Common strengths include reliable performance in temperature-controlled environments and compatibility with existing systems. When purchasing used equipment, industry practice emphasises inspecting pressure ratings, gasket conditions, and calibration records. Quality units from established manufacturers generally command confidence in secondary markets.
