Sugden Mix Twin propeller Mixing Vessel

• Blending liquid and semi-liquid food products such as sauces, dressings, and purees.
• Mixing ingredients for bakery and confectionery applications, including batters and fillings.
• Homogenising dairy products like yoghurts and creams prior to further processing.
• Preparing pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations requiring gentle agitation.

Typical capacity

Mixing vessels of this type commonly range from 50 litres to several thousand litres; this unit is specified at 200 litres.

Power supply

Motorised mixers typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Units for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel, typically 304 or 316 grade, for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Agitation type

Twin propeller or paddle stirrers are common for achieving thorough mixing of medium-viscosity products.

Base configuration

A sloped base, often 45 degrees, is designed to facilitate complete drainage of product from the vessel.

Temperature control

While not specified for this unit, vessels of this class can be jacketed for heating or cooling applications.
