Stainless Steel Mixing Tank

Product overview

Industrial liquid mixing requires more than selecting a tank by volume. Product characteristics, batch quantity, construction material, agitation speed, heating requirements and discharge arrangement all influence the correct vessel configuration.

The Stainless Steel Mixing Tank provides a configurable platform for homogeneous blending of compatible liquid ingredients across a broad range of industrial production requirements.

Technogen Enterprise is a Stainless Steel Mixing Tank Manufacturer and Supplier for Tanzania, offering tank capacities from approximately 50 litres to 20,000 litres for Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Pesticide, Agriculture, Food Processing and compatible liquid-processing industries.

The tank is constructed in a vertical orientation and mounted on supporting legs.

The main product-contact tank can be manufactured from AISI 316L Stainless Steel, while non-contact areas can use AISI 304 Stainless Steel according to the selected machine configuration. 

This combination provides a practical Stainless Steel process vessel for liquid products requiring durable construction and controlled mixing.

The internal tank surface is provided with a mirror finish, creating a smooth product-contact area.

The external surface uses a matt finish, providing a clean industrial appearance.

A half-open lid arrangement provides access to the vessel, while inlet and outlet nozzles are incorporated for product charging and discharge.

The principal function of the tank is homogeneous liquid mixing.

Compatible products specifically include pesticides, chemicals, liquid syrup, sugar syrup, oil, wax-processing materials and engine oil.

An agitator mounted within the vessel generates the circulation required to combine the liquid ingredients.

Unlike a fixed-speed mixing arrangement, agitator speed can be varied through a sensorless frequency drive.

This allows the operator to modify the agitation speed according to the characteristics of the product and the required mixing process.

A low-viscosity liquid may require different movement from a heavier product, and the ability to vary agitator speed gives the vessel greater application flexibility.

Tank capacities extend from approximately 50 litres for relatively small batches through to 20,000 litres for large-volume production.

This broad range makes the Stainless Steel Mixing Tank suitable for manufacturers operating at different production scales.

For a pharmaceutical or syrup-processing operation, attention may focus on contact material, internal finish, batch size and agitation.

A chemical or pesticide manufacturer may place greater importance on product compatibility and mixing conditions.

Oil-processing applications may require a particular agitator configuration and batch volume.

The machine can therefore be tailored around the process rather than forcing every customer into one standard tank specification.

Additional process configurations include jacketed mixing vessels, limpeted vessels, high-speed agitator systems, chemical mixing tanks, melting tanks and wax-melting tanks.

These configurations allow the tank platform to be adapted where standard ambient-temperature agitation is not sufficient.

A jacketed vessel can be considered when the process requires an external heat-transfer arrangement.

A limpeted vessel can be configured for suitable heating or cooling duties.

High-speed agitation can be incorporated where the mixing process requires more intensive product movement.

For Tanzanian manufacturers planning a new liquid-processing line, it is important to define the actual production parameters before selecting the tank.

Useful project information includes the product name, batch quantity, required vessel capacity, operating temperature, preferred contact material, desired mixing time, agitator requirement, heating or cooling requirement and method of product discharge.

A 50-litre vessel and a 20,000-litre vessel perform the same broad function but serve completely different production scales.

The tank should therefore be selected as process equipment rather than merely as a storage container.

The purpose of agitation is to continuously move and redistribute the ingredients within the vessel until the desired homogeneous mixture is achieved.

For syrup applications, compatible liquid ingredients can be mixed within the Stainless Steel vessel.

For pesticide and chemical applications, the selected vessel material and process configuration should suit the actual product.

For oil and engine-oil applications, variable-speed agitation provides flexibility in controlling the mixing action.

Food processors can also use suitable tank configurations for compatible liquid ingredients where Stainless Steel construction is required.

Technogen Enterprise's broad tank-capacity range allows Tanzania manufacturers to choose equipment around their actual production demand while retaining the same basic principles of Stainless Steel construction, controlled agitation and practical product handling.

A well-selected mixing tank can form the central processing vessel within a liquid manufacturing line, receiving ingredients, carrying out the mixing cycle and delivering the completed batch to subsequent processing or filling equipment.

Working principle

• Compatible liquid ingredients are introduced into the Stainless Steel Mixing Tank through the designated inlet or open-lid arrangement.
• The vessel holds the complete production batch during the mixing cycle.
• Once the required ingredients are loaded, the agitator is started.
• Rotation of the agitator creates controlled liquid circulation within the vessel.
• This movement continuously redistributes the ingredients throughout the tank.
• The sensorless frequency drive allows the agitator speed to be adjusted according to the process requirement.
• Mixing continues for the required period until the desired homogeneous condition is achieved.
• The internal mirror-finished Stainless Steel surface forms the principal product-contact vessel area during processing.
• After completion of the mixing cycle, the finished liquid is transferred through the outlet connection.
• The vessel can then be cleaned and prepared for the subsequent production batch.
• For jacketed, limpeted or melting configurations, the exact operating cycle can be configured according to the heating or cooling requirements of the process.

Applications & industries

The Stainless Steel Mixing Tank is suitable for several liquid-processing industries because its capacity, vessel construction and agitation arrangement can be configured according to application.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Suitable for compatible pharmaceutical liquids and syrup-based products requiring batch mixing in a Stainless Steel vessel.

Chemical Industry

The tank can be used for compatible liquid chemical formulations where homogeneous mixing is required.

Pesticide Industry

Compatible liquid pesticide formulations can be blended in appropriately configured tanks.

Food Processing

Suitable for compatible liquid food ingredients and syrup-processing operations.

Liquid Syrup
