Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.
Applications & Use Cases
- Used for emulsifying, homogenising, and dispersing ingredients in liquid or semi-liquid food products.
- Suitable for producing sauces, dressings, dairy alternatives, and certain confectionery items.
- Applied in processes requiring rapid ingredient incorporation and consistent product texture.
- Often found in the production of viscous food products where particle size reduction is critical.
Typical Specifications
- Typical capacity
- High shear mixing vessels of this type commonly range from 1,000 to 5,000 litres, with 3,500 litres being a substantial size for industrial production.
- Power supply
- Units in this class typically require a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Construction material
- For food processing applications, these vessels are invariably constructed from food-grade stainless steel, such as 304 or 316, to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Agitation system
- This type of vessel commonly features a combination of top-mounted agitation, scrape surface agitators for wall contact, and a central high shear mixer for intensive blending.
- Temperature control
- Jacketed vessels typically allow for heating or cooling of the product, using steam, hot water, or chilled water circulating through the jacket.
- Ancillary equipment
- Units are often supplied with integrated centrifugal pumps for product transfer and recirculation, enhancing mixing efficiency and discharge.
Frequently Asked Questions
- High shear mixers provide intense mechanical and hydraulic forces, leading to faster dissolution, emulsification, and homogenisation, which is crucial for stable product formulations and fine particle dispersion.
