Websters 900L Mixing vessel

• Used for blending and homogenising liquid or semi-viscous products in food manufacturing.
• Suitable for chemical processing where controlled mixing and temperature regulation are required.
• Applied in pharmaceutical industries for preparing solutions and suspensions.
• Utilised in cosmetic production for mixing creams, lotions, and other formulations.

Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly range from 500L to 2000L, with this specific unit listed at 900L.

Power supply

High-speed dispersers like the Greaves FDM20 typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK.

Mixing mechanism

Features a top-mounted high-speed disperser for effective breakdown of agglomerates and rapid mixing.

Temperature control

Jacketed vessels are designed for heating or cooling contents, with design pressures typically around 2 Bar for steam or chilled water.

Material of construction

For food and chemical applications, stainless steel is standard for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Weight monitoring

Mounted on load cells, allowing for precise ingredient dosing and batch weight verification.

Discharge

Central bottom discharge is common for complete product evacuation and ease of connection to downstream processes.

Level sensing

Includes a level probe for monitoring fill volumes, which can be integrated into automated systems.

• What kind of products can this mixer handle?

  This type of vessel with a high-speed disperser is suitable for liquids, suspensions, and medium-viscosity products, particularly where particle size reduction or rapid dissolution is needed.

• What are the benefits of a high-speed disperser?

Food processing mixers and processors are considered reliable workhorses in commercial kitchens and production facilities. Buyers typically value models with robust construction, consistent mixing performance, and ease of cleaning. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should check motor condition, bowl integrity, and blade sharpness. Industry sentiment favours stainless steel construction for durability and hygiene compliance. Common strengths include efficient batch processing, reduced labour costs, and long operational lifespans when properly maintained. Capacity matching to production volume remains a key consideration for buyers.
