Jacketed Mixing Tank & Temperature 300 Ltr

• Blending liquid and semi-liquid food products such as sauces, dressings, and dairy.
• Heating and cooling ingredients during processing, common for confectionery and beverage production.
• Holding and agitating products to maintain homogeneity before packaging or further processing.
• Mixing pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulations requiring precise temperature control.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 litres to several thousand litres; this unit is specified at 300 litres.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for the mixer and jacket heating/cooling system.

Construction material

Commonly manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Jacket type

Typically features a dimpled or full jacket for efficient heat transfer using steam, hot water, or chilled water/glycol.

Mixer type

Often equipped with an agitator, propeller, or scraper mixer, commonly with variable speed control for different product viscosities.

Temperature control

Units of this type include temperature sensors and often a control panel for precise regulation of jacket temperature.

Mobility

Smaller units, such as this 300-litre model, are commonly mounted on castors for ease of movement within a facility.

• What is a jacketed mixing tank used for?

  A jacketed mixing tank is used for processes requiring precise temperature control while mixing. The jacket allows for heating or cooling the product within the tank.

• What type of products can be processed in a 300-litre jacketed mixer?

• How is temperature controlled in a jacketed tank?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used jacketed mixing tank?

• Can this type of tank be used for viscous products?

Food processing mixers and processors are valued for their durability and reliability when sourced used. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and robust construction. Key considerations include motor condition, bowl or chamber integrity, and compatibility with existing production lines. These units generally perform well across multiple applications, from batch mixing to food preparation. Stainless steel components and established brands tend to command buyer confidence in the secondhand market.
