Custom Vacuum Homogenizer Mixing Tank

I. The Necessity of Customized Mixing Tanks

Standardized mixing tank often falls short of meeting the diverse product formulations and process requirements. Therefore, customized vacuum homogenizer mixing tanks have emerged as a key tool for enterprises to enhance product competitiveness and achieve technological innovation. 

II. Customization Directions of Tanks

1)Volume Range: 

From a few liters at the laboratory level to tens of thousands of liters for industrial production. We have flexibly customized tanks according to batch size.

2)Tank Design: 

Single-layer tanks, jacketed tanks (for heating/cooling), conical bottoms, flat bottoms, etc., to meet different mixing, discharge, and cleaning needs. For food sauce mixing use, jacked tanks is usually a must. Conical bottom design is suitable for the high viscosity sauces like chocolate sauce, cheese sauce, salad dressing, etc.

3)Openings and Connections: 

Customized location, quantity, and specifications of feed inlets, sight glasses, cleaning balls, sensor interfaces, etc.

4)Agitator Assembly: 

Typically, multi-layered, multi-functional combined agitators are used. The dispersion disc works to disperse medium- to low-viscosity materials. High speed homogenizer offers extremely high shear force for breaking and emulsifying use. Wall scrapper device helps to prevent materials from sticking to the wall.

5)Heat transfer Medium Type: 

Depending on the process temperature requirements, steam, heat transfer oil, or hot water can be selected as the heating medium.

6)Customized Control and Automation Systems: 

PLC control allows for precise control and recording of parameters such as temperature, speed, vacuum level, and time. It supports multi-segment process programming, enabling one-click production, and features data traceability.

III. Core Uses and Advantages in Food Industry

Customized vacuum emulsifying mixing tanks achieve several superior process effects through their unique combination of "vacuum" and "emulsification mixing":

1)High-efficiency Emulsification and Homogenization: 

In a vacuum environment, high-speed homogenizer can more effectively break down one liquid into tiny particles, uniformly dispersing them into another immiscible liquid to form a stable, fine emulsion.

2)High-efficiency Defoaming: 

The vacuum environment effectively removes air mixed in during mixing and bubbles generated by the material itself, resulting in a dense, smooth final product and avoiding bubble defects.

3)Oxygen-free Environment: 

Prevents materials from oxidizing and deteriorating due to contact with oxygen at high temperatures, preserving the product's color, flavor, and nutritional components.

4)High-efficiency Mixing and Heat Transfer: 

Combined mixing ensures uniformity throughout the material, while the wall scraping function greatly improves heating and cooling efficiency, preventing localized overheating and charring.

IV. Application: Seasonings and Sauces 

Salad dressing, mayonnaise, ketchup, chocolate sauce, cream fillings, jams, custard, ice cream base,  fruit jam, etc.

Customization Focus: Powerful emulsification ensures long-term stability and prevents separation of immiscible components such as oil, vinegar, and egg liquid; scraping and stirring prevents high-viscosity sauces from burning during heating.
