500 Liter Food Grade Electric Heating Juice Homogenizer Mixing Tank

500-Liter Juice Mixing and Homogenizing Tank

This 500-liter tank is intended for juice batches that need controlled heating, mixing, and homogenization in one vessel. The right configuration depends on the recipe: pulp content, viscosity, target temperature, batch time, and the required particle or texture consistency. A homogenizing mixer is not automatically a substitute for a separate high-pressure homogenizer; the process objective should be defined before equipment selection.

Construction and process design

We select product-contact materials and finishes around the juice formulation, cleaning method, and sanitation requirements. Food-grade stainless steel is specified for wetted surfaces, with the exact grade confirmed against product acidity, chloride exposure, and cleaning chemicals. Welds in product-contact areas should be continuous, dressed, and finished to the agreed hygienic standard. Surface roughness requirements, internal polishing, drainability, and inspection access should be stated in the purchase specification rather than assumed.

Electric heating can be arranged according to the approved vessel design. Jacketed heating and other electric heating methods have different heat-transfer rates, maintenance needs, and temperature uniformity. Control hardware, sensor location, insulation, and over-temperature protection should be matched to the process and site electrical supply. The heating method and operating range require confirmation with the manufacturer.

Agitation and homogenization

Impeller type, shaft layout, motor power, and gearbox ratio depend on batch viscosity, solids, mixing time, and whether gentle circulation or stronger dispersion is needed. Higher shear can improve uniformity in some formulations, but may also introduce air or affect delicate ingredients. We confirm the mixing arrangement from process details, not tank volume alone. Seal design and access for shaft or impeller removal should also reflect cleaning frequency and maintenance practices.

Base specifications

Typical applications and purchasing questions

Potential uses include blending juice concentrates, dispersing ingredients, and heating liquid food batches. Final suitability depends on formulation and sanitation requirements. Is the full 500-liter volume working capacity or vessel volume? What are the minimum and maximum batch sizes? Share product viscosity, solids, target temperature, heating time, cleaning procedure, available power, and required connections. These details let our engineers recommend a practical impeller, heating arrangement, controls, and hygienic finish before quotation.
