Product description

A 500 L vacuum reactor with a high-shear head is not a tank with a larger motor bolted on. Dairy and beverage emulsions, dressings, and concentrated drink bases are shear-sensitive: too much tip speed damages protein structure, too little leaves a wide droplet distribution. Agitator geometry, baffling, and the vacuum port have to be settled before the shell is rolled.

What this unit is configured for

We build the vessel for batch homogenization and emulsification under vacuum, which strips entrained air and controls foaming during dispersion. It suits plants running repeated batches with CIP between products. The 304 stainless steel wetted surface handles neutral and mildly acidic dairy and beverage formulations well; high-chloride or strongly acidic recipes usually point to 316L instead.

Fabrication and finish

Wetted surfaces are polished, with weld seams ground flush where product contact matters. The high-shear shaft is balanced and checked for runout, since vibration shows up quickly at dispersion speeds. Sealing is a mechanical seal, optionally sanitary. Jacket design, insulation, and nozzle layout are set per order, so a drawing review before production avoids most field modifications later.

Where it fits

Dairy, plant-based beverages, sauces, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical liquids where particle size reduction and vacuum deaeration happen in one step.

Before you request a quote

  • Material to be processed, its chemistry and concentration
  • Batch and working volume
  • Operating and design temperature
  • Atmospheric, pressure, or vacuum operation
  • Viscosity and solids content
  • Required heating, cooling, or temperature control
  • Target mixing or droplet-size result
  • Cleaning, sealing, and compliance requirements

Common questions

Can one vessel handle both high-shear and gentle mixing? Yes, with a variable-frequency drive and the right impeller combination. Confirm the lowest and highest speed your recipe needs.

Is vacuum necessary? Only if your product holds air or foams during dispersion. For dense, air-free formulations a standard atmospheric vessel is cheaper to build and run.

304 or 316L? Send the formulation pH and chloride level. That single detail usually decides it.

Share your material, batch capacity, operating temperature, pressure or vacuum condition, and mixing requirement, and we will return a configuration drawing and quotation for the right build.

Customer Review

We ordered a complete peanut butter processing line, and overall we’ve been very happy with it. The equipment arrived well packed and everything was installed and tested without major issues. The line runs smoothly, and the mixing and processing have been consistent. Our peanut butter comes out with a good texture, and the equipment is not difficult for our operators to use and clean. The support from the supplier was also helpful during setup. So far, it has been a good investment for our production.
