NNP Mixing vessel

• Blending liquid and semi-liquid food products such as sauces, dressings, and purees.
• Mixing ingredients for confectionery, dairy, and beverage production.
• Heating or cooling products during the mixing process due to its jacketed design.
• Homogenising viscous food mixtures with its agitation and scrape surface capabilities.

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

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is standard for contact parts to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Agitation type

This unit features top-mounted motor with agitation and scrape surface, common for thorough mixing and preventing product build-up on vessel walls.

Temperature control

The jacketed design allows for heating or cooling of the product, typically via steam, hot water, or chilled water circulation.

Discharge method

Central bottom discharge is common for efficient emptying of the vessel, particularly for liquid and semi-liquid products.

• What is a 'jacketed' mixing vessel?

  A jacketed vessel has an outer shell creating a space (the jacket) around the main mixing chamber. This space can be filled with a heating or cooling medium to control the product's temperature during processing.

• What is the purpose of 'scrape surface' agitation?

• Is this unit suitable for high-viscosity products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a mixing vessel?

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

Lab mixers and stirrers hold strong reputations for reliability and durability. Buyers typically prioritise motor condition, speed range suitability, and vessel compatibility when purchasing used units. The equipment category is valued for consistent performance across research and production settings. Key strengths include robust construction, straightforward maintenance, and long operational lifespans. Corrosion resistance of wetted parts merits careful inspection. These devices remain dependable workhorses in pharmaceutical, biotech, and laboratory environments, offering solid value when sourced from reputable sellers with clear service histories.
