100 500 1000 Litre High Shear Homogenizer Emulsifier Mixing Tank

High Shear Homogenizer Mixing Tanks for Oil and Shampoo Production

We build these process tanks for manufacturers that need controlled emulsification, dispersion, and storage in one hygienic vessel. The 100, 500, and 1,000 litre sizes suit different batch volumes, while the actual working capacity depends on product foaming, viscosity, headspace, and the required circulation pattern. Cooking oil emulsions, shampoo, lotions, liquid detergents, and similar formulations may require different rotor stator assemblies and agitation speeds.

Construction and Process Design

Product-contact surfaces are typically specified in stainless steel, with the grade selected according to ingredients, cleaning chemicals, temperature, and sanitation requirements. Stainless steel 304 may suit many general formulations; 316L is often considered when chloride exposure, aggressive ingredients, or more demanding hygienic service is involved. We confirm the material before fabrication rather than treating it as a standard assumption.

Internal welds can be ground and polished to the required finish. Surface treatment, passivation, external cladding, and sanitary fittings are defined by the process and cleaning method. Mechanical seals, gaskets, valves, and manway details also require attention, especially when the batch contains solvents, abrasive powders, or heat-sensitive ingredients. A tank designed for storage may not be suitable for high-shear circulation without checking outlet position, pumpability, and vessel reinforcement.

Drive, Heating, and Mixing Selection

The motor and gearbox are selected from viscosity, density, batch volume, operating temperature, and shear requirements. A high-shear homogenizer can reduce droplet or particle size, while an anchor, paddle, or other agitator may be needed to sweep the vessel and prevent settling. Heating may be supplied through a jacket or another specified method; temperature control depends on the heating medium, product sensitivity, insulation, sensor location, and required ramp rate.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

Can one configuration handle both oil and shampoo?
Possibly, but viscosity, shear sensitivity, cleaning validation, and seal compatibility must be reviewed.

What information should accompany a quotation request?
Send batch size, working volume, ingredients, viscosity, density, temperature range, mixing time, cleaning method, power supply, and the desired level of automation.

How is the correct model selected?
Start with the required working volume, then verify headspace, agitator type, homogenizer position, heating duty, material grade, and discharge arrangement. These details prevent a nominally correct tank from becoming difficult to clean or inefficient in production.
