Chemineer PD5M 500l Mixing Tank

Applications & Use Cases

• Blending liquid ingredients in food and beverage production.
• Mixing sauces, dressings, and purees.
• Dissolving powders into liquids for various food applications.
• Agitating solutions to maintain homogeneity in processing lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 litres up to several thousand litres, with this unit specified at 500 litres.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Motor power

Mixers of this size often feature motors ranging from 0.37 kW to several kilowatts, depending on the viscosity of the product.

Construction material

Mixing tanks for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel, commonly 304 or 316 grade, for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Mixer type

Top-mounted propeller mixers are common for low to medium viscosity liquids, providing good axial flow.

Footprint

The footprint for a 500-litre tank with a top-mounted mixer typically requires floor space of approximately 1m x 1m, plus access for operation and maintenance.
