Stainless Steel Mixing Tank for Food & Beverage Industry
A Stainless Steel Mixing Tank is designed for hygienic mixing, blending, dissolving, and preparation of liquid and semi-liquid food and beverage products. Equilateral Solutions manufactures industrial stainless steel mixing tanks in SS304, SS316, and SS316L stainless steel, offering hygienic construction, efficient agitation, and reliable performance for diverse food processing applications.
Our mixing tanks are engineered to handle different product viscosities and processing requirements, ensuring consistent ingredient distribution, uniform product quality, and efficient batch processing. They can be equipped with customized agitators, heating and cooling jackets, temperature monitoring systems, and automated controls to meet specific manufacturing needs.
Available in capacities from 50 litres to 15,000 litres, our stainless steel mixing tanks can be customized according to batch size, product characteristics, process conditions, and production capacity.
Key Features
1. Material Selection
Manufactured using high-quality SS304, SS316, or SS316L stainless steel, our mixing tanks offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and hygienic product-contact surfaces. Internal surface finishes up to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm can be provided according to project requirements.
2. Hygienic & GMP Design
Designed around hygienic and GMP engineering principles, the tanks feature smooth internal surfaces, sanitary connections, drainable bottoms, and CIP-compatible construction to support effective cleaning and minimize product contamination risks.
3. Efficient Agitation System
Top-entry, bottom-entry, or side-entry agitators can be provided depending on the application and product characteristics. Different impeller configurations, including propeller, paddle, turbine, and anchor-type agitators, can be selected according to product viscosity and mixing requirements.
The agitation system supports effective circulation, ingredient dispersion, and uniform blending throughout the tank.
4. Heating & Cooling Arrangement
Optional dimple jackets, limpet coils, or conventional jackets can be incorporated for controlled heating and cooling. The system can operate using steam, hot water, chilled water, or glycol, depending on the required processing temperature and application.
5. Instrumentation & Automation
Optional instrumentation and control systems include level sensors, load cells, RTD temperature sensors, pressure gauges, sanitary valves, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and PLC-HMI automation for efficient process monitoring and control.
