Jacketed Mixing Tank & Temperature 300 Ltr

• Mixing and heating liquid or semi-liquid food products such as sauces, soups, and dairy.
• Preparing confectionery items like chocolates, caramels, and syrups where temperature control is critical.
• Blending pharmaceutical ingredients or cosmetic formulations requiring precise temperature management.
• Holding and agitating ingredients in breweries or distilleries during various processing stages.
• Used in chemical industries for reactions or blending processes needing controlled heating or cooling.

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

Jacketed mixing tanks typically require a 3-phase electrical supply for the mixer motor and heating elements, commonly 400V or 415V in the UK.

Jacket type

Commonly, jackets are designed for steam, hot water, or thermal oil for heating, and chilled water for cooling.

Agitator type

Units of this type often feature various agitator designs, such as propeller, paddle, or anchor, with variable speed control being a common feature.

Material construction

Typically, contact parts are constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Temperature control

Units commonly include integrated temperature sensors and control systems for precise process management.

Mobility

Smaller to medium-sized tanks are frequently 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 processing products that require precise temperature control during mixing, heating, or cooling stages. The jacket allows for the circulation of a heating or cooling medium around the tank's inner wall.

• How does variable speed control benefit my process?

• What maintenance is typically required for a unit like this?

• Can this tank be used for both heating and cooling?

• Is stainless steel construction suitable for all food 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.
