Orangewworks Mixer Tank With Load Cells 500 LTR

• Blending liquid and semi-liquid food products such as sauces, dressings, and beverages.
• Mixing powders into liquids to create slurries or suspensions for food ingredients.
• Homogenising dairy products or fruit pulps to achieve consistent texture.
• Preparing brines, marinades, or flavourings in bulk for further processing.
• Holding and agitating ingredients prior to filling or packaging operations.

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Mixer tanks typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, for the agitator motor.

Construction material

Units for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Agitation type

Commonly features a top-mounted agitator with various impeller designs (e.g., propeller, paddle, anchor) depending on the product viscosity.

Temperature control

Many mixer tanks include jackets for heating or cooling, using steam, hot water, or chilled water.

Load cells

The inclusion of load cells provides precise weight measurement, crucial for accurate batching and recipe control.

Ancillary equipment

Ancillary equipment can include control panels, pumps, or additional sensors, enhancing operational efficiency.

Hygiene and cleaning

Designed for easy cleaning, often compatible with Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems to meet food safety standards.

• What are the benefits of a mixer tank with load cells?

  Load cells enable accurate real-time weighing of ingredients, ensuring precise batch formulation, reducing waste, and improving product consistency. This is vital for quality control and adherence to recipes.

• Is this unit suitable for viscous products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a mixer tank?

• Can this mixer tank be integrated into an existing production line?

• What certifications should I look for in used food processing equipment?

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.
