100L to 2000L Heated Emulsifying Mixing Tank with Agitator Disperser

Heated Mixing Equipment for Cream, Lotion, and Resin Batches

We build this 100L to 2000L tank range for manufacturers that need controlled heating, bulk mixing, and dispersion in one vessel. It suits body lotion, face cream, cosmetic emulsions, and selected resin processes where batch size is growing but process consistency still matters. The correct configuration depends on viscosity, solids content, heating temperature, vacuum requirements, and the required production cycle.

Construction and Process Design

Product-contact surfaces are commonly specified in stainless steel, with the grade selected according to formulation chemistry and cleaning practice. Stainless steel 304 may suit many cosmetic and general processing duties, while 316L is more appropriate when chloride exposure, aggressive ingredients, or stricter pharmaceutical-style cleanliness requirements are involved. Internal welds should be continuous, sanitary where required, and finished to the agreed polish level. Surface treatment, vessel geometry, bottom outlet design, and seal selection all affect cleanability and product recovery.

The tank can be arranged with an anchor or other low-speed agitator for bulk circulation, while a high-speed disperser helps break down powders, pigments, or agglomerates. Agitator torque must be matched to the actual working viscosity rather than the tank volume alone. A resin batch may need a stronger drive than a low-viscosity lotion, even at the same nominal capacity. Mechanical seals, shaft materials, and elastomers should be checked against temperature and chemical compatibility.

Heating and Controls

Heating may be designed around a jacket or another specified thermal arrangement. Temperature performance depends on the heating medium, available utility conditions, product viscosity, fill level, insulation, and heat-transfer area. We size the motor, gearbox, impellers, and control panel after reviewing the process duty instead of applying one standard drive to every batch.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

Can one setup process both lotion and resin?
Sometimes, but viscosity, cleaning time, seal materials, torque, and shear requirements must be reviewed first.

What should be included in a quotation request?
Provide batch size, working volume, ingredients, viscosity range, solids content, heating temperature, mixing time, cleaning method, power supply, and any vacuum or sanitary requirements.

How do we select the tank size?
Define the minimum and maximum working volumes, required headspace, foaming behavior, and expected future batch growth. We can then recommend the vessel geometry and drive arrangement.
