Product Overview

The Electric Heating Mixing Tank for Food/Chemical is a precision-engineered blending solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of food processing and chemical manufacturing industries. This versatile equipment integrates advanced heating technology with efficient mixing mechanisms to ensure uniform temperature distribution and consistent material homogenization. Constructed with 316L stainless steel compliant with the latest EU 10/2011 regulations (updated 2025), it guarantees material safety and corrosion resistance for both food-grade and chemical applications. With a temperature control range from room temperature to 100°C and an impressive ±0.5°C temperature control accuracy, this mixing tank eliminates thermal gradients that can compromise product quality in sensitive formulations. Whether processing high-viscosity food pastes or reactive chemical compounds, the tank's modular design allows customization of capacity (50L to 5000L) and agitator configurations to match specific production requirements.

Product Features

Hygienic & Durable Construction

316L stainless steel contact surfaces with Ra 1.6μm polished finish for easy cleaning and compliance with FDA and EU 2025/351 standards

Crevice-free welds and sanitary design eliminate bacterial harborage points

Sealed agitator shaft with food-grade mechanical seals to prevent cross-contamination

Pressure-rated vessel (up to 0.6MPa) suitable for both open and closed processing environments

Versatile Agitation Systems

Available with three agitator types to handle diverse material viscosities:

Anchor agitators for high-viscosity mixtures (up to 10,000 cP)

Propeller mixers for medium-viscosity liquids

High-shear homogenizers for emulsion production (achieving particle sizes <5μm)

All agitators feature variable speed control (4-15 rpm) to optimize mixing efficiency without product shear damage.

Applications

Food Processing Industry

Dairy products: Cheese spreads, yogurt, and cream mixtures

Confectionery: Chocolate tempering, caramel production

Beverage concentrates: Fruit purees, syrups, and flavor emulsions

Prepared foods: Sauces, dressings, and ready-meal components

Chemical Manufacturing

Specialty chemicals: Adhesives, coatings, and surfactants

Pharmaceutical intermediates: Excipient blending

Cosmetic formulations: Creams, lotions, and gels

Petrochemical additives: Lubricant formulations

The tank's compliance with EU 2025 food contact material regulations makes it ideal for manufacturers exporting to European markets, while its chemical resistance suits aggressive formulations including acids and solvents up to pH 12.

FAQ

What safety features are included?

The tank is equipped with overheat protection (automatic shutdown at 110°C), pressure relief valves, and emergency stop buttons. All electrical components meet IEC 60335 standards for industrial equipment.

How often requires cleaning?

For food applications, daily CIP (Clean-in-Place) cycles are recommended using the integrated spray ball system. Chemical processing may require disassembly cleaning every 200 operating hours depending on material abrasiveness.

Is it compatible with aggressive chemicals?

Yes, the 316L stainless steel construction resists corrosion from most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. For highly reactive materials, optional Hastelloy C-276 components are available.

What is the typical lead time?

Standard models (50-1000L) ship within 45 days. Custom configurations with specialized agitators or larger capacities require 60-90 days production time.

Does it meet 2025 EU regulations?

Yes, the tank fully complies with Regulation (EU) 2025/351 governing food contact materials, including updated migration limits (<0.05 mg/kg for non-genotoxic substances) and documentation requirements.
